Sleep Well Firefighters: An App-based Program to Improve Sleep, Cognition, and Behavioral Health in Firefighters
This study is testing an app-based program called "Sleep Well Intervention Group" to see if it can help firefighters improve their sleep, thinking skills (cognition), and overall mental well-being. You might be able to join if you are a CalFire Wildfire firefighter in the Central Coast region or a City of San Luis Obispo Firefighter, speak English, have an iPhone/iPad, are at least 18 years old, and are interested in improving your sleep. The study aims to find out if this program is practical and acceptable for firefighters. The current status of this study is unclear.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study with a planned enrollment of 50 participants. It compares an app-based sleep program to standard sleep education materials.
- What's involved
- You would complete questionnaires, wear a wrist device to track sleep, and either use a mobile app with monthly coaching calls for three months or receive basic sleep education materials. After three months, you would repeat the initial assessments.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Participants will be followed from baseline through study completion, which is 12 weeks.

What this trial measures
- Recruitment capabilityFrom Baseline through Study Completion (12 weeks).
Recruitment capability: Number of participants enrolled per month (target of 5 enrolled per month)
- Intervention FidelityFrom Baseline through Study Completion (12 weeks).
Fidelity: The extent to which an intervention is delivered as intended (target: \>80% fidelity score).
- Intervention AdherenceFrom Baseline (week 0) through Study Completion (12 weeks).
Change in sleep behaviors assessed via in-app tracking (i.e., self-report of sleep behaviors over the study intervention period).
- AcceptabilityAt Study Completion (12 weeks).
Participants will be asked to rate the usefulness and satisfaction with app and phone-sessions, using a questionnaire that includes rating scales of various aspects of the program.
- RetentionAt Baseline (week 0) through Study Completion (week 12).
Retention: Number of participants who remained in the study throughout the project period of the total number of participants recruited at baseline (Target of 80% retention rate; Reasons for dropout will be collected);
- Assessment proceduresAt baseline (week 0) through Study Completion (week 12).
Assessment procedures: The extent to which study assessments can be administered as planned; assessment procedures are acceptable to participants; and data collection is complete.
- AdherenceAt baseline (week 0) through Study completion (week 12).
