Summary

The sleep quality in university students is diminished by numerous factors such as alterations in lifestyles, changes, the socio-emotional development or academic performance.The detriment in the quality of sleep can have a negative effects on the quality of life and mental health. It is even a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. This study is a pilot type clinical trial in which it is intended to implement an intervention to improve the quality of sleep of university nursing students. A randomization of 40 students will be carried out to two treatment groups (intervention n=20 and control n=20). The intervention group will receive two 90-minute sessions during a week where the anatomical structures involved in sleep will be analyzed, workshops will be held to improve the quality of sleep with individual indications after analyzing their rhythms and patterns. The control group will continue with their usual routine.A pre-post evaluation will be carried out on both groups using the Kronowise 3.0 individual wearable bracelet device that measures sleep quality based on general indicators, sleep, wakefulness, internal time, circadian rhythms, temperature, activity, position and light. In addition, information on perceived sleep quality will be collected with the Pittsburgh questionnaire. Sociodemographic data will be collected in the pre measurement for both groups and satisfaction with the program will be collected in the post measurement in the intervention group.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Sleep Intervention Group

The intervention group will acquire skills to improve their quality of sleep such as: * Acquisition of notions of chronobiology. * Location of the nervous structures involved in biological rhythms. * Awareness of the existence of three times that direct our biological rhythms, and of the need for them to be synchronized. * Self-knowledge of the chronotype and the degree of adjustment of the three times. * Knowledge of the variables that determine a good quality of sleep. * Applications of chronobiology to the field of nursing. Recommendations for nurses and patients. * Self-knowledge of the quality of sleep and the health status of the circadian system.
