Summary

This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of a psychoeducational intervention targeting the determinants of university students' sleep health. It is conducted as part of a doctoral research project.

The intervention consists of three structured sessions delivered over three weeks, with additional online follow-ups. Each session lasts 1.5 hours and takes place in the evening, with a one-week interval between sessions.

Session 1 focuses on providing fundamental knowledge about sleep health. Session 2 introduces behavioral strategies to improve sleep health and asks participants to implement behavior change intentions.

Session 3 reviews the implementation of the intention, the changes made or not, and addresses the relationship between stress and sleep, along with coping strategies.

Participants are required to complete online questionnaires and a sleep diary at multiple time points: before the intervention, immediately after, and up to three months post-intervention. These assessments measure sleep habits, beliefs about sleep, and mental health indicators.

Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups:

Intervention group, which receives the psychoeducational program first. Waitlist control group, which completes an additional follow-up before receiving the intervention.

The study design allows for a controlled evaluation of the intervention's impact on sleep-related behaviors and mental health outcomes.
