About this study

This will be a study looking at trying to change community-dwelling older adults' behavior in regard to good sleep hygiene practices. Investigators will assess the efficacy through subjective outcome measures and objective physiological markers of good sleep through data collected with wearable technology devices.

Read the detailed description

Community-dwelling older adults will be recruited and placed into one of two groups. Group one will watch a one-time educational video on sleep hygiene and group two will watch the video plus be sent daily automated text messages to reinforce the education learned in the video. The participants will receive the text messages for a total of 4 weeks. The control group will not receive any intervention during this time frame. Following the initial meeting, all participants will wear the sleep tracker on their wrists during the day and night for 4 weeks. The sleep tracker will monitor the physiological markers of sleep provided by wearable technology on sleep efficiency, time in bed, time actually sleeping, and time spent at each stage of sleep. At the end of the 4-week study period, the researchers will once again meet with each participant. The participant will complete the following questionnaires once again.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change Score From Baseline to 4-week Follow up on the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index

    Outcome measure for quality of sleep. Score ranges 0-21 with higher score equaling poor sleep quality

    Measured: Baseline and 4-week follow up

  2. Change Score From Baseline to 4-week Follow up on the Sleep Hygiene Index

    Outcome measure for good sleep hygiene. Scores range from 0-52. Higher scores equate to worse sleep hygiene.

    Measured: Baseline and 4-week follow up

  3. Change Score From Baseline to 4-week Follow up on the Numeric Pain Rating Scale

    Outcome measure for average pain levels. Scores range from 0-10. Higher scores equate to higher pain levels.

    Measured: Baseline and 4-week follow up

  4. Change Score From Baseline to 4-week Follow up on the Epworth Sleepiness Scale

    Outcome measure for average daytime sleepiness. Scores range from 0-24. Higher scores equate to worse daytime sleepiness.

    Measured: Baseline and 4-week follow up

  5. Change Score From Baseline to 4-weeks for Participants' Sleep Efficiency Using Wearable Technology.

    Sleep efficiency scores will be calculated using a sleep tracker device and are defined as time spent in bed versus time spent actually sleeping. 85% or higher is considered normal sleep efficiency. The average sleep efficiency score for the first three days at baseline and average sleep efficiency from the last 3 days of the 4 week study period will be used to gather the change score.

    Measured: Baseline, 4-week follow up

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Change Score From Baseline to 4-week Follow up on the Perceived Stress Scale

    Outcome measure for average stress levels. Scores range from 0-40. The higher the score the worse the stress levels.

    Measured: Baseline and 4-week follow up

  2. Change Score From Baseline to 4-week Follow up on the Patient Specific Functional Scale

    Outcome measure for overall function. The participant chooses three functional day-to-day activities that they regularly participate in and they rate those activities from 0-10 on ease or difficulty of completing. 0 indicates unable to perform the activity, and 10 indicates no problem with the activity. The total score is calculated by adding all three activity scores and dividing by the number of activities listed for a total score ranging from 0-10.

    Measured: Baseline and 4-week follow up

  3. Change Scores From Baseline to 4-week Follow up for Participant's Body Mass Index

    Body mass index is measured by body weight [kg]/ height [m]2) from weight and height measurements to determine healthy body anthropometrics. Normal value is 18.5 to 24.9. Above these values is considered overweight and obese, under this is considered underweight.

    Measured: baseline and 4-week follow up

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change Score From Baseline to 4-week Follow up on the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (time frame: Baseline and 4-week follow up). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
