Abstract

Objective To explore the effect of interpersonal and social rhythm therapy combined drugs on sleep quality and quality of life in patients with insomnia. Methods A total of 100 patients with insomnia treated in hospital from January 2016 to October 2017 were selected as subjects.The patients were divided into experimental group (n=50) and control group (n=50) according to the random number table.The control group was given conventional drug only, and the experimental group was combined with interpersonal and social rhythm therapy on the basis of the drugs treatment.The clinical efficacy was compared between the two groups.Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Sleeping Personal Beliefs and Attitudes (DBAS) were used to assess the recent sleep quality of the two groups. The WHO Quality of Life Measurement Profile (WHOQOL-BREF) was used to compare of the quality of life between two groups. Results The clinical effective rate was 94.0% in the experimental group and 80.0% in the control group.There was significant difference between the two groups (χ2=4.332, P 0.05) and DBAS((80.96±10.11) vs (80.87±11.03), t=0.02, P>0.05) scores between experimental group and control group.After treatment, DBAS score((125.74±21.53) vs (104.22±20.97), t=4.93, P 0.05). After the treatment, all the scores in the four fields of the two groups were significantly increased (P<0.05), and the scores in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Interpersonal and social rhythm therapy combined with drugs can effectively improve sleep quality and the quality of life.
