Abstract
Purpose
The objective of this study is to verify the effects of cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia(CBT-I) on insomnia severity, dysfunctional beliefs and attitudes about sleep, impulsiveness, and motivation to change among patients with alcohol use disorder who are hospitalized.
Methods
This study employed a one-group pre-posttest design. The experimental group consists of 20 hospitalized patients with alcohol use disorder. The experimental group received CBT-I once a week for 70 minutes over a period of five weeks.
Results
The findings of this study provided significant support for the hypotheses concerning insomnia severity (Z=-2.06, p=.040), dysfunctional beliefs and attitudes about sleep (Z=-2.05, p=.040), and stage of change readiness and treatment eagerness (Z=-2.05, p=.041). However, the hypothesis concerning impulsiveness was rejected, as it did not demonstrate statistical significance (Z=-1.07, p=.286).
Conclusion
The findings of this study indicate that CBT-I is an effective intervention for reducing sleep disturbances, sleep-related dysfunctional beliefs, and alcohol-related problems. CBT-I is recommended as a sleep intervention and non-pharmacological approach for patients with alcohol use disorders.
