Lack of understanding regarding the function of sleep and lack of education regarding healthy sleep practices may hinder college students from getting sufficient quality sleep. The current study examines the effect of a text message based educational intervention aimed at improving sleep quality and sleep hygiene behaviors in freshman undergraduate college students.
135 undergraduate students were recruited fall of 2016.
Three discussion groups were held to test and refine the text message content. Students were randomized into a three-group pretest-posttest experimental design. Participants completed measures of sleep quality, sleep hygiene, and sleep knowledge.
Data analysis indicated the intervention did not demonstrate significant differences between groups over time on sleep quality, sleep hygiene behaviors, and sleep knowledge.
More research is needed to understand how best to harness text messaging technology and sleep health education to promote healthy sleep behaviors in college students.
对睡眠功能的认识不足以及缺乏健康睡眠行为方面的教育，可能会阻碍大学生获得充足的高质量睡眠。本研究旨在探讨基于短信的教育干预对改善新生大学生睡眠质量和睡眠卫生行为的效果。
2016 年秋季共招募了 135 名本科生。
进行了 3 次讨论组会议来测试和完善短信内容。学生被随机分为三组进行预测试-后测试的实验设计。参与者完成了睡眠质量、睡眠卫生和睡眠知识的测量。
数据分析表明，干预组在睡眠质量、睡眠卫生行为和睡眠知识方面，在时间上与其他组之间没有显著差异。
需要进一步研究如何利用短信技术和睡眠健康教育来促进大学生的健康睡眠行为。
