| Sleep quality score with the Pittsburgh Questionnaire. Timepoint: The first time at the beginning of the study to identify people with low sleep quality. Two weeks after the start of the intervention. Method of measurement: Edited: The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) is a tool developed by Buysse et al. (1989) to assess sleep quality. It comprises seven components with 19 self-report questions and 5 additional questions for a sleeping partner or roommate, if available. The index evaluates various aspects of sleep quality over the past month, including mental sleep quality, sleep onset latency, sleep duration, habitual sleep efficiency, sleep disturbances, use of sleeping medication, and daytime dysfunction. Scores range from 0 to 21, with a score above 5 indicating poor sleep quality or insomnia. Backhaus et al. (2002) reported a retest reliability of 0.87 for the questionnaire. In Iran, the PSQI has been utilized in diverse populations with reported acceptable psychometric properties (Cronbach's alpha ranging from 0.89 to 0.93).;It is the score that a person gets from the N-back working memory test. Timepoint: After determining the two test groups and samples of both groups. Two weeks after the start of the intervention. Method of measurement: The N-back working memory test was first introduced by K. Rechner in 1958 to assess visuospatial memory, with a reliability of around 90%. In 1392, the Sinai Research Institute of Cognitive Behavioral Sciences developed a Persian computer program version of this test. It involves visual stimuli appearing on the screen in a sequence with a 1800-millisecond interval, requiring the individual to compare each stimulus with the previous one and press the corresponding key. | — |
