Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Objective: This semi-experimental study was conducted to determine the effect of sleep hygiene education on sleep quality, pain, and depression in individuals with fibromyalgia.

Patients and methods: A sample of 70 individuals with fibromyalgia (35 experimental, 35 control) were included in the study. Data was collected using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, the Visual Analog Scale, and the Beck Depression Inventory.

Detailed Description

Objective: This semi-experimental study was conducted to determine the effect of sleep hygiene education on sleep quality, pain, and depression in individuals with fibromyalgia.

Background: Sleep problems, pain, and depression are common health issues in individuals with fibromyalgia. However, studies on sleep hygiene education to address these problems are limited in the literature.

Methods: A sample of 70 individuals with fibromyalgia (35 experimental, 35 control) were included in the study. Data was collected using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, the Visual Analog Scale, and the Beck Depression Inventory.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Control group

The DIF, PSQI, VAS, and BDI were also administered to individuals in the control group during the first interview, but no education was provided to them. The participants were given an appointment to meet at the hospital one month later. At the final polyclinic appointment one month later, the VAS, PSQI, and BDI were administered for the second time and took an average of 15-20 minutes to complete. In line with ethical principles, they were provided with individual education on sleep hygiene and sleep hygiene education booklets at the final polyclinic appointment. The same researcher collected the data and provided the education to avoid bias.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

Experimental group

During the first interview, the DIF, PSQI, VAS, and BDI were administered to individuals in the experimental group. Each education session lasted an average of 30 minutes and was conducted face-to-face. Sleep hygiene education booklets were provided to individuals at the end of the education session. Studies suggest that at least one month should pass for behavioral change to occur after the education session. Therefore, the participants were given an appointment to meet at the hospital one month later. At the final interview one month after the education, the VAS, PSQI, and BDI were administered for the second and final time and took an average of 15-20 minutes to complete.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Sleep hygiene education

Intervention Type OTHER

The sleep hygiene education booklet was prepared by the researchers by in line with the literature. The booklet contains information on the definition and benefits of sleep, sleep problems during insomnia, arrangements for regular sleep, and the principles of sleep hygiene. The principles of sleep hygiene include individual habits that facilitate sleep, proper arrangement of the physical environment, exercises before going to bed, and dietary habits. This educational content was applied to those in the experimental group. The education took an average of 30 minutes.
