Summary

This study aims to evaluate the effects of sleep hygiene education on sleep quality and depression in women during menopause. Women will be randomly assigned to either an education group or a control group. The education group will receive training based on the Information-Motivation-Behavioral Skills (IMB) Model. Sleep quality and depression levels will be measured before and after the education. The results will provide insight into whether sleep hygiene education can improve sleep quality and reduce depression in menopausal women.

Detailed description

This study aims to evaluate the effects of sleep hygiene education on sleep quality and depression in menopausal women. The study will be conducted in two phases. In the first phase, a menopause-specific sleep quality scale will be developed to assess sleep habits, nighttime awakenings, sleep disruptors, and sleep hygiene behaviors in this population. In the second phase, participants will be randomly assigned to either a control group or an intervention group receiving sleep hygiene education based on the Information-Motivation-Behavioral Skills (IMB) Model. Sleep quality and depression levels will be measured before and after the intervention using validated psychological and physiological assessments. Daily sleep tracking logs will also be used to monitor adherence and intervention effectiveness. The findings will provide insight into whether sleep hygiene education can improve sleep quality and reduce depression among menopausal women, and will serve as a resource for developing nursing interventions and informing health policies.
