An interventional study of Telemedicine-Based Educational Intervention and Face-to-Face Educational Intervention in Sleep Quality, sponsored by Nada Shaban Mousa. Completed at 1 site in Egypt. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-08-21.
Sponsored by Nada Shaban Mousa · Not applicable, Interventional, and Other
This randomized controlled trial evaluated the effect of an educational intervention on sleep quality, sleep hygiene practices, and physical activity among medical students at Cairo University. Participants were randomly assigned to one of two groups that received sleep-related education through different delivery methods. Sleep quality and related behaviors were assessed before and after the intervention using validated questionnaires. The study aimed to determine whether the educational intervention could improve sleep quality and promote healthier sleep practices among medical students.
2,722 studies on the registry are indexed under Sleep Initiation and Maintenance Disorders; 726 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 142 is above the median of 68 across 2,350 interventional studies indexed under Sleep Initiation and Maintenance Disorders.

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

Participants received a face-to-face educational intervention focusing on sleep quality, sleep hygiene practices, and physical activity.
Behavioral: Face-to-Face Educational Intervention
Participants received a telemedicine-based educational intervention focusing on sleep quality, sleep hygiene practices, and physical activity through online communication platforms.
Behavioral: Telemedicine-Based Educational Intervention
An educational intervention delivered remotely to improve participants' knowledge and practices regarding sleep quality, sleep hygiene, and physical activity.
An educational intervention delivered through face-to-face sessions covering sleep quality, sleep hygiene practices, and physical activity.
Change in Sleep Quality Assessed by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)
Sleep quality was assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). The PSQI evaluates sleep quality over the previous month and provides a global score ranging from 0 to 21, with higher scores indicating poorer sleep quality. The change in PSQI score from baseline to post-intervention was compared between the study groups.
Time frame: Baseline and approximately 8 weeks after baseline, following completion of the intervention
Change in Sleep Hygiene Assessed by the Sleep Hygiene Index (SHI)
Sleep hygiene was assessed using the Sleep Hygiene Index (SHI). The change in SHI score from baseline to the end of the intervention was compared between the study groups.
Time frame: Baseline and 8 weeks after baseline, at completion of the intervention
Change in Physical Activity Assessed by the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF)
Physical activity level was assessed using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF). The change in physical activity from baseline to the end of the intervention was compared between the study groups.
Time frame: Baseline and 8 weeks after baseline, at completion of the intervention
Plan to share: Undecided

Ran from Jan 2026 to primary completion in Mar 2026, 2 months.
Of 1,207 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Sleep Initiation and Maintenance Disorders, half reached primary completion within 15 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 6 and three quarters within 35. This study's 2 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 1,285 studies reached it within 15 months; a quarter within 6 and three quarters within 34.
