Insomnia

253
Insomnia is a prevalent sleep disorder characterized by difficulty falling asleep, frequent awakenings during the night, and waking up too early without being able to return to sleep. People with insomnia often experience these disruptions at least three nights a week for at least one month.

The sleep cycle, an integral part of human health, consists of several stages with distinct characteristics and functions. It begins with a transition from wakefulness to sleep, known as the light sleep phase, followed by the restorative deep sleep phase, essential for physical recovery and growth. The cycle concludes with the Rapid Eye Movement (REM) phase, characterized by high brain activity and vivid dreaming.

Unlike psychoanalytic methods that delve into unconscious processes or humanistic approaches emphasizing...

Modeling in Therapy

247
Modeling, a key technique in therapy, uses observational learning to help clients acquire and practice new skills by watching therapists demonstrate desired behaviors. This approach, rooted in Albert Bandura's concept of vicarious learning, plays a significant role in therapeutic interventions for various psychological conditions, including social anxiety, ADHD, and depression.

Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy01:24

Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy

207
Cognitive-behavioral therapies (CBTs) are grounded in the belief that our thoughts profoundly influence our emotions and actions. Advocates of CBT emphasize three core assumptions: first, that cognitions are identifiable and measurable; second, that they are central to psychological functioning; and third, that irrational or maladaptive beliefs can be replaced with rational and adaptive ones. This transformative approach to therapy has paved the way for specific models such as Albert...

Area of Science:

  • Behavioral Science
  • Medical Education
  • Digital Health

Background:

  • Chronic insomnia is a prevalent condition with significant health and occupational consequences.
  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is the recommended first-line treatment.
  • A shortage of trained providers and training costs limit access to CBT-I.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate CBTIweb.org, a web-based training program for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I).
  • To assess the usability, satisfaction, and knowledge acquisition of CBTIweb.org.
  • To compare the effectiveness of CBTIweb.org to traditional in-person CBT-I workshops.

Main Methods:

  • Content was developed by subject matter experts.
  • Alpha and beta testing with trainees and licensed providers refined the CBTIweb.org platform.
  • A pilot study randomly assigned providers to CBTIweb.org or an in-person workshop, assessing usability and knowledge gains via questionnaires.

Main Results:

  • Alpha and beta testers reported high usability and satisfaction with CBTIweb.org.
  • Participants demonstrated significant knowledge acquisition from the training.
  • Knowledge gains in the CBTIweb.org group were equivalent to those in the in-person workshop group.

Conclusions:

  • CBTIweb.org is an effective, engaging, and user-friendly online training for CBT-I.
  • The web-based format allows for broad dissemination of CBT-I training to English-speaking behavioral health providers.
  • Future work includes translation and adaptation for other sleep disorders and populations.
