Improving Sleep in a Psychiatric Hospital
This study is looking at ways to improve sleep for people in a psychiatric hospital. It's testing if using scented oil (aromatherapy), ear plugs, and eye masks can help you sleep better. Researchers will also compare different safety check methods: video-based checks when you're asleep and in-person checks every 30 minutes. You might be able to join if you are between 18 and 90 years old, have been admitted voluntarily for suicidal thoughts or behavior, still show a certain level of suicide risk, and have a good score on a cognitive (thinking ability) test. The study aims to see if these interventions improve your sleep quality, reduce insomnia, and lessen daytime sleepiness. The current status of this study is unclear.
- Study design

What this trial measures
- Change in nighttime Sleep Quality as assessed by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)Admission, Discharge (about 2 weeks after admission )
The PSQI has 19 self rated questions with a global score range of 0 to 21.It has 7 components and each is scored from 0 (no difficulty) to 3(severe difficulty) with higher scores indicating poorer sleep quality.
- Change in insomnia as assessed by the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI)Admission, Discharge (about 2 weeks after admission )
The ISI is a 7-item , each item is rated on a 0 (no problem)-4 (very severe problem) scale, with total scores ranging from 0 to 28. Higher scores indicate greater insomnia severity.
- Change in daytime Sleepiness as assessed by the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS)Admission, Discharge (about 2 weeks after admission )
The ESS is an 8-item questionnaire. Each item is scored from 0 (would never doze) to 3 (high chance of dozing). The total score ranges from 0 to 24, with higher scores indicating greater daytime sleepiness.
