ABSTRACT

Aims The present study was conducted with the aim of explaining the effect of cognitive behavioral grouptherapy on the treatment of sleep primary disorders and improving the quality of life of rotating shift nurses.
Materials & Methods ThIS experimental study with pretest posttest design with control group was conducted on nurses of Valiasr Hospital affiliated to NAJA. In order to achieve the research goals, among all rotating shift nurses of the hospital, 30 patients (male and female) were randomly selected and divided into control and experimental groups (N=15 for each group) and intervention was performed on the experimental group. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality and WHOQOL-BREF were used to collect data. For data analysis, covariance analysis was used.
Findings After the treatment, there was a significant difference between the experimental and control groups (p<0.001). Compared to control group, mean scores of sleep disorder decreased in the experimental and the mean scores of quality of life in the experimental group increased.
Conclusion Cognitive behavioral group therapy is effective in improving primary sleep disorders and the quality of life of rotating shift nurses.
