In this study, focusing on college students experiencing sleep problems, the Lifestyle Redesign (LR) program was intended to confirm the effectiveness of the quantitative and qualitative aspects of college students' sleep and the improvement of occupational balance. This study program was conducted using a non-face-to-face online platform (ZOOM), and time use analysis and work activity reassignment, 12 group programs twice a week, and 1 session of sleep education were conducted through one 1:1 individual session for 6 weeks to 8 university students who were experiencing sleep problems with a K-PSQI score of 5 or higher. During the intervention period, the subjects were asked to write on the checklist whether or not they performed daily work activities, and the subjects were managed by contacting them to check sleep time three times a week and work activities.
The evaluation tools used in the study to confirm the effectiveness of the intervention program included the Self-Reported Duration of Sleep (SRDS) to identify quantitative changes in sleep, the Korean Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (K-PSQI) and Korean Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (K-COPM) to confirm qualitative changes in sleep, and the Korean version of Life Balance Inventory (K-LBI) and Occupational Questionnaire (OQ) to confirm changes in occupational balance level.
As a result of the study, it was confirmed that the lifestyle redesign program had a significant effect on the performance and satisfaction of major work activities affected by sleep status, and on the challenge and interest areas among the sub-domains of K-LBI. In addition, it was confirmed that the average sleeping time of college students experiencing sleep problems was increased, and the average sleep quality was improved. After the program, all 8 students were able to confirm the change to a balanced work level. While participation in active work activities such as work and activities of daily living (ADL) increased, participation in static activities such as recreation and rest decreased. Therefore, the lifestyle redesign program has a positive effect on the quantitative and qualitative aspects of sleep in college students who experience sleep problems, and it is expected to have a positive effect on forming a balanced lifestyle by encouraging college students to participate in meaningful work activities and use appropriate time.
This study is meaningful in that it showed positive changes in the quantitative and qualitative aspects of sleep and positive changes in the level of occupational balance through the process of managing the subjects by providing a lifestyle redesign program to college students experiencing sleep problems. Through this study, it is expected that it will be used as useful data in improving the sleep problems and occupational balance levels of subjects with more diverse characteristics in the future.
