Effect of a Sleep Hygiene Education Program Using Telephone Follow-up Method on the Sleep Quality of the Elderly

Objectives: Low quality sleep is one of the most common problems in old age. The present study aims to determine the effect of a sleep hygiene education program using Telephone Follow-Up (TFU) method on the sleep quality of the elderly. Methods & Materials: This quasi-experimental study was conducted on 80 eligible elderly people aged 60-74 years who were selected using a systematic random sampling method and were randomly assigned into intervention and control groups. The intervention group received a one-hour face-to-face education session on sleep hygiene. The TFU were carried out two times per week in the first month and once a week in the second month after intervention. The control group received routine care. The data collection tools were a demographic form and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaire. The PSQI was completed for both groups immediately after the second month. Results: There was no statistically significant difference in the mean PSQI score before intervention in the intervention (8.02) and control (7.47) groups (P=0.32), but after the intervention, the mean PSQI score in the intervention group (5.42) was significantly reduced compared to the control group (7.67) (P<0.001). Conclusion: Sleep hygiene education program based on TFU improves the sleep quality of the elderly. It is recommended that health care providers use this method to improve the sleep quality of the elderly.

Nurse-led education and follow-up for stroke patients may facilitate management and improve quality of life. This study investigated the effect of a nurse-led education program for stroke patients on sleep and life quality. A total of 92 stroke patients (46 in the intervention group, 46 in the control group) aged 18 to 75 years who were independently mobile (less than or equal to one assistive device) and had no other neurologic or psychiatric disorders or history of sleep disorder prior to stroke were included. Patients randomized to the intervention group completed a 20-week education and follow-up program including information about stroke, rehabilitation, adaptation to daily life, and the importance of sleep quality. In the posttest, the intervention group had significantly higher sleep quality and stroke-specific quality of life scores than the control group. This study may serve as a guide for nurses who work with stroke patients.

BACKGROUND: It is postulated that children with asthma who receive an interactive, comprehensive education program would improve their quality of life, asthma management and asthma control compared with children receiving usual care.OBJECTIVE: To assess the feasibility and impact of ‘Roaring Adventures of Puff’ (RAP), a six-week childhood asthma education program administered by health professionals in schools.METHODS: Thirty-four schools from three health regions in Alberta were randomly assigned to receive either the RAP asthma program (intervention group) or usual care (control group). Baseline measurements from parent and child were taken before the intervention, and at six and 12 months.RESULTS: The intervention group had more smoke exposure at baseline. Participants lost to follow-up had more asthma symptoms. Improvements were significantly greater in the RAP intervention group from baseline to six months than in the control group in terms of parent’s perceived understanding and ability to cope with and control asthma, and overall quality of life (P<0.05). On follow-up, doctor visits were reduced in the control group.CONCLUSION: A multilevel, comprehensive, school-based asthma program is feasible, and modestly improved asthma management and quality of life outcomes. An interactive group education program offered to children with asthma at their school has merit as a practical, cost-effective, peer-supportive approach to improve health outcomes.

ABSTRACT Background : Sleep disturbance is a problem that is often complained of by women who experience a menopause transition. This has an impact on quality of life, moods, productivity, and physical health. Foot massage therapy is a non-pharmacological therapy performed to improve sleep quality. Non-pharmacological therapy is an option because it is cheaper and more effective when compared with medical administration. Purpose :This study determined an effect of foot massage on the sleep quality of menopausal mothers. Method : This is an experimental study with a post test only control group design. The sample consisted of 23 respondents aged 45-55 years. The intervention group included 12 respondents and the control group included 11 respondents. The intervention group performed foot massage for 10 minutes on each leg. Sleep quality in the intervention group was measured 24 hours after massage. The control group did not do foot massage. Results : the average respondent of intervention and control groups were in the best sleep quality (76100). In the control group, poor sleep quality was found in the wakefulness sleep category. There was no difference in the average quality of sleep in mothers who did foot massage and did not do foot massage (p> 0.001) with a difference in average (95% CI) 4.5 (3.6-12.5). Conclusion : There was no difference in the average quality of sleep between intervention and control group. Sugestion : Based on the results of the study, the authors recommend the need for further research on foot massage with an increase in duration of the intervention and it is necessary to investigate the variations of foot massage methods with aromatherapy to improve sleep quality. Further research needs to be done with more samples and better RCT methods.

Limited knowledge and negative attitudes about menopause among postmenopausal women (PMW) create a multitude of health-related issues leading to impaired quality of life (QOL) among them. This study evaluated the impact of a health-promoting lifestyle education intervention (HPLEI) on knowledge, attitude, and QOL in a group of PMW in Sri Lanka. A quasi-experimental study was conducted with 72 PMW, matched for sociodemographic status of the community from two geographically separated areas in Galle, and they were allocated to intervention (n=37) and control (n=35) groups. HPLEI is comprised of health education sessions focused on postmenopausal health management with lifestyle modifications provided only for the intervention group for 8 weeks and follow-up for 6 months. The control group was not given any planned education programme and was allowed to proceed with the usual lifestyle during this period. Knowledge, attitude, menopause-specific QOL (MENQOL), and overall QOL were evaluated in both groups with self-administered questionnaires at the baseline, after 8 weeks of education sessions and at the end of 6 months of follow-up. The mean (SD) ages of the intervention and control groups were 54.6 (4.5) and 56.5 (3.4) (p=0.06) years, respectively. All evaluated variable scores were not different between the intervention and control groups (p>0.05) at the baseline. In the intervention group, knowledge (mean±SD; 21.70±1.05) and attitude (mean±SD; 44.02±5.33) scores increased at the end (p<0.001). In the control group, a marginal increase in all dimensions of knowledge scores (mean±SD; 9.71±2.21) and unchanged attitude scores (mean±SD; 23.91±7.56) were seen. All MENQOL scores decreased during the follow-up in the intervention group (mean±SD; 138.51±18.47) (p<0.001) except the sexual domain (p=0.32). MENQOL scores were increased in the control group (mean±SD; 92.05±28.87) (p<0.001) with time. Overall QOL scores increased (mean±SD; 74.85±9.71) (p<0.001) in the intervention group during the study period and in the control group overall QOL (mean±SD; 51.03±13.61) showed a reduction (p<0.001) at the end. Health education focused on health-promoting lifestyle modifications was effective in improving knowledge, attitude, MENQOL, and overall QOL of PMW.
