What this trial studies
This study aims to pilot test two behavioral sleep intervention strategies designed to improve insomnia among nurses working night shifts. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBTI) or multicomponent relaxation therapy for insomnia (MRTI), both tailored for shift workers. The interventions will be delivered via telehealth by trained professionals in behavioral sleep medicine, ensuring accessibility and convenience for the participants.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are current night shift nurses in Oregon who experience insomnia and have access to the internet.
Not a fit: Patients with uncontrolled medical conditions or those on certain current treatments for insomnia may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could significantly enhance the sleep quality and overall well-being of night shift nurses suffering from insomnia.
How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have shown promise in using behavioral interventions for insomnia, particularly in shift workers, suggesting potential success for this approach.
