Brief summary
The aim of the proposed pilot study is to scientifically evaluate the use of Mind-Body Bridging Program (MBBP) as an effective intervention for improving health outcomes in veterans exhibiting sleep disturbance in the Primary Care Clinic at the Veterans Administration Salt Lake City Health Care System (VASLCHCS).
Detailed description
Participants will be randomly assigned to either MBBP or a treatment as usual sleep hygiene (SH) group. The interventions will last two weeks in which participants will attend 2 classes 1-1.5 hr each over two consecutive weeks. Assessment of the effects of the treatments will be based on self-report outcome measures; participants will complete five questionnaires approximately one week prior to the start of the interventions (pre-treatment) and one week after the second session (post-treatment). The sleep quality assessment questionnaire will be additionally completed after the first session (Week 1).
