Performance Actigraphy and Sleep in Long-Haul Truckers

描述（由申请人提供）：本研究的目的是确定行为活动描记术对长途卡车司机的睡眠态度和知觉控制以及睡眠质量和睡眠数量的影响。卡车司机将被随机分配到一个对照组和两个干预组。在第一天，将从所有参与者那里获得睡眠态度和感知睡眠控制的测量。从第1天到第20天，两个干预组将获得睡眠记录和非表现活动记录。第21天，干预组2转为表演活动描记；第一组将继续进行非表演活动记录仪。在第40天，对所有3组重复态度和睡眠感知控制的测量。通过计划和协调睡眠行为和轮班活动，行为活动记录仪可以提示长途卡车司机积极参与健康的睡眠实践。这项研究的目的与国家卫生研究院的研究和健康促进倡议（国家睡眠研究议程）保持一致；2010年健康人（伤害预防）；国家职业安全与健康研究所（创伤性伤害）。由于拟议的研究调查了一种促进自我管理和决策的具体干预措施，它也反映了国家护理研究所未来研究主题（2003年）中概述的主题，“改变生活方式行为，促进健康”。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of performance actigraphy on attitude toward and perceived control of sleep and on quality and quantity of sleep in long-haul truck drivers. Truckers will be randomly assigned to a control group and two intervention groups. Measures of attitude toward sleep and perceived control of sleep will be obtained on day one from all participants. From days 1 - 20, the two intervention groups will be given sleep logs and non-performance actigraphs. On day 21, intervention group 2 will be switched to performance actigraphy; group 1 will continue with non-performance actigraphy. At day 40, measures of attitude and perceived control of sleep will be repeated for all 3 groups. Performance actigraphy may cue long-haul truckers to proactively engage in healthy sleep practices by planning and coordinating sleep behaviors and on-off duty activities. The aims of this study are in keeping with the research and health promotion initiatives of the National Institutes of Health (National Sleep Research Agenda); Healthy People 2010 (Injury Prevention); and the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (Traumatic Injury). Because the proposed study investigates a specific intervention that promotes self-management and decision making, it also reflects the theme, "Changing lifestyle behaviors for better health" outlined in the National Institute of Nursing Research's Research Themes for the Future (2003).
