Brief Summary

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

Medical students have been shown to have a greater prevalence of poor sleep leading to poorer quality of life than other groups of students. Among medical students, poor sleep quality and insomnia have been associated with higher level of stress, as well as poorer academic performance. Our field surveys carried out in 2022 and 2023 at the Lyon Est medical school make the same alarming observation. They revealed that 53% of students had significant sleep problems.They also showed that students presented high levels of physical and mental fatigue. It is expected that these disorders will significantly degrade their quality of life as well as their health. Indeed, lack of sleep is associated with serious health problems such as illnesses cardiovascular or immune system deficiencies.

The PROMESS - SLEEP project aims to offer solutions to students to improve their sleep during their medical studies. It responds to a demand expressed by students: our field study showed that 40% of 4th year students declared being "very interested and/or interested" in following an intervention that aimed at improving sleep. An early knowledge of sleep optimization tools would allow students to quickly acquire the tools necessary to cope with the difficult conditions encountered during their training and lives of future doctors.The objective of this study is to determine the influence of an intervention program based on sleep improvement and fatigue reduction among medical students.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Our project aims to help future healthcare professionals to adopt health-promoting behaviors during their studies in a preventive approach. This support will be provided through an intervention program based on sleep improvement and fatigue reduction during their curriculum. Specifically, 4th and 5th-year students at the Faculty of Medicine of Lyon Est will have the opportunity to participate in the PROMESS SLEEP project. This intervention will span 11 weeks. At the end of this period, we expect improvements in both subjective and objective indicators of sleep and fatigue.

METHODS.

PRE-INTERVENTION. Week 1-3. Students will undergo a two-hour session, during which, they will complete questionnaires on sleep and fatigue. Then, they will wear actimeters to monitor sleep during three weeks.

INTERVENTION. From week 5 to week 11. The intervention will consist of three individual sessions, each lasting one hour, with approximately 15 days between each session. Each session includes individual interview between a sleep expert and the participant (i.e.student).The sessions will be scheduled as follow: week 5 and 6 (session 1), week 7 and 8 (session 2), week 9, 10, and 11 (session 3). During the interview, the expert will realize an initial assessment of student sleep and fatigue levels and will give personalized goals to student. Subsequent sessions follow the same structure.
