I-SLEPT: Integrated Sleep and Life Engagement Program for Veterans

This study is testing a new program called I-SLEPT (Integrated Sleep and Life Engagement Program for Transitions). I-SLEPT is a 4-week telehealth program delivered by a psychologist to help Veterans improve their sleep and stay engaged in life after being discharged from VA Boston Community Living Center rehabilitation. To join, you must be a Veteran aged 50 or older, speak English, be discharged home, and not have severe memory problems. The study will measure how well I-SLEPT helps with sleep, what matters most to you, and how acceptable the program is. The current status of this study is unclear.

Study design
This is a single-arm study, meaning all participants will receive the I-SLEPT program. The study plans to enroll 60 participants.
What's involved
If you participate, you will complete I-SLEPT, which involves one 60-minute telehealth session per week for 4 weeks. You will also complete surveys and interviews at the beginning, end (30 days), and 3 months after the program.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Participants will be followed for 3 months after completing the I-SLEPT program.

  • RuSATEDBaseline, Endpoint (30 day), 3 Month

    A brief 6-item measure encompassing the dimensions of sleep health: Regularity, Satisfaction, Alertness, Timing, Efficiency, and Duration. Scores range from 0 to 12 with higher total scores suggesting better sleep health. Items are rated on a 3-point scale from 0 to 2 (with 0 = Rarely/Never; 1 = Sometimes; and 2 = Usually/Always).

  • What Matters Most (WMM) ToolBaseline, Endpoint (30 day), 3 Month

    A one-page brief tool presenting 3 domains (Staying Independent, Enjoying Life, and Connecting), each containing a list of 9 items with the option of adding a 10th item of their own. Veterans will be asked to identify up to 3 items within each domain that matters most to them. After up to 9 items total have been identified, Veterans will be asked to "pick the most important thing" and describe what this would look like for them "day to day or week to week." Veterans will be encouraged to pick up to 3 things that matter most above all. Finally, Veterans are asked to rate how well they are achieving their life engagement goals and what matters most to them, employing a 5-point Likert-style goal attainment scale (+2 = much better than expected; +1 = a little better than expected; 0 = as expected; -1 = a little worse than expected; -2 = much worse than expected). A score of 0-2 indicate satisfactory goal attainment in the area of life engagement.

  • Acceptability of Intervention Measure (AIM)Endpoint (30 day)

    A 4-item measure that assess acceptability, defined here as the perception that I-SLEPT is acceptable, palatable, or satisfactory. Items are scored as follows: 1 - completely disagree; 2 - disagree; 3 - neither agree nor disagree; 4 - agree; 5 - completely agree. Total scores are from 4 to 20 with higher scores indicating better acceptability of the intervention.

  • Feasibility of Intervention Measure (FIM)Endpoint (30 day)

    A 4-item measure that assesses feasibility defined here as the extent to which the session material can be successfully used - defined as from the Veteran's perspective of applying what is learned after the session. Items are scored as follows: 1 - completely disagree; 2 - disagree; 3 - neither agree nor disagree; 4 - agree; 5 - completely agree. Total scores are from 4 to 20 with higher scores indicating better feasibility of the intervention.
