Brief Summary

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

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effect of a Health Promotion Model-based oculomotor exercise program on sleep quality among older adults living in a nursing home.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does the Health Promotion Model-based oculomotor exercise program improve sleep quality in older adults living in a nursing home? Does participation in the program enhance self-efficacy and promote better health behaviors related to sleep?

Detailed Description

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

This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effect of a Health Promotion Model-based oculomotor exercise program on sleep quality among older adults living in a nursing home. Participants in the experimental group will receive an approximately 3-month structured intervention integrating oculomotor exercises and motivational interviewing techniques, while the control group will receive no intervention and continue with their usual daily routines.

The intervention is designed according to the components of the Health Promotion Model, targeting self-efficacy and behavior change processes. During the first meeting, participants complete baseline assessments, including the Personal Information Form, Sleep Beliefs Scale, Stages of Change Inventory, DSM-5 Sleep Disorder Scale, and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Over four weeks, participants in the experimental group perform oculomotor exercises three times a week (Monday, Wednesday, Friday) and attend weekly motivational interviewing sessions focusing on awareness, perceived benefits, self-efficacy, decision balance, empowerment, and commitment to behavior. Weekly DSM-5 Sleep Disorder assessments are also conducted.

Follow-up sessions continue during the second and third months to support maintenance of behavior change, with monthly evaluations using the PSQI and Stages of Change Inventory. Sleep diaries are used throughout to monitor participants' sleep patterns. The primary outcome is sleep quality, and secondary outcomes include self-efficacy and behavioral stage of change.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Participants will be randomly assigned to either the experimental or control group using a parallel design. The experimental group will receive a Health Promotion Model-based oculomotor exercise program while the control group will receive no tervention and continue their usual daily activities. Both groups will be evaluated simultaneously at baseline and after the intervention using standardized scales for sleep quality and behavioral change.

Study Groups

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

Exercise Group

Participants in this group will receive a structured oculomotor exercise program designed according to the Health Promotion Model. The program includes oculomotor exercises performed three times a week and weekly motivational interviewing sessions to enhance self-efficacy and adherence. Sleep quality and behavioral change outcomes will be assessed at baseline and post-intervention.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Oculomotor Exercise Program

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

This intervention is a structured oculomotor exercise program based on the Health Promotion Model, developed to improve sleep quality among older adults living in a nursing home. The program focuses on enhancing visual-motor coordination and relaxation through systematic eye movement exercises.

Participants in the experimental group perform oculomotor exercises three times per week for four consecutive weeks under researcher supervision. The program includes educational support and brief motivational guidance to encourage adherence and consistency. Follow-up sessions are conducted during the following two months to monitor sleep patterns and maintain behavioral improvement.

This intervention differs from traditional exercise programs by targeting the oculomotor system and incorporating health promotion principles to support better sleep and overall well-being in older adults.

Control Group

Participants in this group will not receive any intervention. They will continue their usual daily activities and will be evaluated using the same measurement tools and time points as the experimental group.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
