There is limited research on the efficacy of group visits using integrative treatment modalities and for people whose chief concern is sleep disturbance. This quality improvement project delivered integrative health content in group visits for people with self-reported sleep disturbance.
To describe an integrative group visit for sleep disturbance, explore the evaluation process for several outcomes, and report on lessons learned.
A group visit series involved 4 sessions over the course of 1 month, covering integrative health topics such as acupuncture, mind-body therapies, and herbal medicine. Participants were administered 2 validated surveys (PSQI and PROMIS-29) at baseline and 1- and 3-months post-intervention.
In 4 4 week GV series,18 people participated in-person pre-pandemic, and 5 people participated virtually during the pandemic. The mean age for the entire cohort was 63.2 years. Of the 23 participants, 18 (78%) attended all 4 GV sessions within their series.
Preliminary findings from this study suggest that an integrative group visit approach to sleep disturbance is feasible yet would benefit from a more rigorous investigation.
关于采用综合治疗方式的团体就诊以及以睡眠障碍为主要问题的人群的疗效研究有限。这个质量改进项目为自我报告有睡眠障碍的人群在团体就诊中提供综合健康内容。
描述针对睡眠障碍的综合团体就诊，探索多种结果的评估过程，并报告经验教训。
一个团体就诊系列在1个月内包含4次 sessions，涵盖针灸、身心疗法和草药等综合健康主题。在基线、干预后1个月和3个月时，对参与者进行2项经过验证的调查（PSQI和PROMIS - 29）。
在4周的团体就诊系列中，疫情前有18人亲自参与，疫情期间有5人通过虚拟方式参与。整个队列的平均年龄为63.2岁。在23名参与者中，18名（78%）参加了他们所在系列的全部4次团体就诊。
本研究的初步结果表明，针对睡眠障碍的综合团体就诊方法是可行的，但需要更严格的调查才能受益。
