The effects of noise disruption on sleep disturbance

Flinders University

Dataset description

This study was designed to assess the impacts of noise disturbance on sleep and physiology, and comprised several parts: An in-lab pilot study to assess the effects of 20 second and 3 minute noise exposures during sleep in healthy sleepers, with hearing data and subjective and objective sleep data (n = 25) Computer assisted telephone interview (survey) of individuals living in proximity to rural wind farms, residents close to busy urban roads, or those in quiet rural areas (n = 542) Multi-day field study recording sleep and acoustic characteristics in individual residences close to wind farms (n = 27) In laboratory multi-day study (n = 68), with individuals reporting either: wind farm noise exposed with subjective sleep disruption, proximity to a wind farm but no subjective sleep disturbance, proximity to a busy road with subjective sleep disturbance, and comparator population from quiet rural locations. Participants had an acclimation night in the sleep laboratory and were then exposed to various sound conditions during sleep on the following nights. Recordings include subjective and objective sleep and hearing data, and various questionnaires at multiple timepoints. Please note the due to ethical considerations and the impracticality of de-identification, individual participant data is not able to be released for some items, and only summary or aggregate data will be reported and available for sharing.

The intervention uses exercises designed to help people reduce their self-criticism and increase their self-compassion when using social media. The project will assess how much participants engage with the intervention, request their feedback on it, and determine whether there is evidence that it may help to prevent diso ....

Intervention

Intervention code Behaviour , Treatment: Other

Primary intervention: self-criticism intervention. Participants are emailed a set of intervention modules in fillable PDF format, which use CBT techniques to address self-criticism in the context of appearance and social media. These are self-guided interventions which can be completed either on the computer or printed to be completed in hard copy. The intervention comprises 4 modules, each of which takes approximately 15 minutes to complete, and which we will ask that they complete over one wee ....

Comparison

Control group Active

Control: waitlist. Participants assigned to this condition will complete baseline questionnaires, then post-treatment questionnaires of secondary outcome measures a week later, and then an optional one-week follow-up questionnaire following that. Following this, they will be provided the self-criticism intervention modules via email. The modules will be sent after the primary researcher confirms that they have completed the post-treatment questionnaires if they do not consent to be contacted for ....

Outcomes

Outcome: Feasibility, assessed by % of module completion (self-reported using study-specific item: "Can you please enter an estimate of how much (as a percentage) of the intervention modules you completed (i.e., how much you read and how many questions you answered in the PDFs)?")
Timepoint: Post-treatment (1 week post-randomisation)

Outcome: Feasibility, assessed by % of homework completion (self-reported using study-specific item: "Can you please enter an estimate of how much (as a percentage) of the homework tasks you completed?")
Timepoint: Post-treatment (1 week post-randomisation)

Outcome: Acceptability of the intervention (qualitative feedback provided via online post-treatment questionnaires using study-specific items: "What did you like about the intervention?", "What did you dislike about the intervention?", and "Do you have any other feedback for us?")
Timepoint: Post-treatment (1 week post-randomisation)
