The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of global postural re-education (GPR) on sleep quality and stress in female health science lecturers.
A total of 24 female university lecturers were allocated in this randomized controlled trial into intervention ( = 12) and control ( = 12) groups. The intervention group underwent familiarization and training on the therapy to execute an 8-week treatment with GPR. Data collected on sleep quality were analyzed using 24-h accelerometry (Actigraphy GT3X+) in addition to the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaire score as well as the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) anxiety questionnaire. Data on stress were collected by measuring salivary cortisol.
After comparing the GPR of the groups, there was a main effect of the group ( = 5.278, = 0.044) for PSQI. The analysis revealed that both groups decreased scores between pre- and post-treatment. Additionally, post-treatment, there were differences between groups. For sleep latency, there were main effects of group ( = 6.118, = 0.031) and score × group ( = 9.343, = 0.011) interactions. The analysis revealed that treatment groups decreased scores between pre- and post-treatment, and there were differences between groups (all < 0.050).
The self-administered GPR improves sleep quality in female university lecturers, providing a valuable self-regulation tool for enhanced sleep quality and enhanced academic performance. Further study may help to develop this as a potential tool to help university lecturers' job performance.
本研究旨在评估整体姿势再教育（GPR）对女性健康科学讲师睡眠质量和压力的影响。
在这项随机对照试验中，共有24名女性大学讲师被分为干预组（n = 12）和对照组（n = 12）。干预组接受了该疗法的熟悉和培训，以进行为期8周的GPR治疗。除了匹兹堡睡眠质量指数（PSQI）问卷得分以及状态-特质焦虑量表（STAI）焦虑问卷外，还使用24小时加速度计（Actigraphy GT3X+）分析收集到的睡眠质量数据。通过测量唾液皮质醇来收集压力数据。
比较两组的GPR后，PSQI存在组间主效应（F = 5.278，p = 0.044）。方差分析显示，两组在治疗前和治疗后的得分均有所下降。此外，治疗后，两组之间存在差异。对于睡眠潜伏期，存在组间主效应（F = 6.118，p = 0.031）和得分×组间交互作用（F = 9.343，p = 0.011）。方差分析显示，治疗组在治疗前和治疗后的得分均有所下降，且两组之间存在差异（均p < 0.050）。
自我实施的GPR可改善女性大学讲师的睡眠质量，为提高睡眠质量和学术表现提供了一种有价值的自我调节工具。进一步的研究可能有助于将其开发为一种有助于大学讲师工作表现的潜在工具。
