“…It is interesting to highlight the deterioration in quality of life within the control group at 6 and 9 months. Insomnia directly impacts quality of life, as proven in various studies, such as those conducted by Taylor et al [73][74][75], who affirm that insomnia is associated with a worse general health state, negatively affecting one's self-perception. Zeithlhofer et al [76] also concluded the presence of a close connection between quality of life and insomnia.…”

“…If we delve into the analysis of quality of life based on the EQ-5D scale variables, which is a tool that has been used in various studies that evaluate insomnia [75,77,78] and has been utilised to measure the results of cognitive behavioural and psychoeducational interventions [19,61,79], we have observed that some variables improve significantly, but not all. These variables are Pain/Discomfort (p = 0.016) and Self-Care (p = 0.003).…”

Insomnia is a highly prevalent disorder among the population with schizophrenia and has a significant impact on their quality of life. Cognitive behavioural therapies (CBT) have shown effectiveness in the treatment of insomnia in the general population. The aim of this this pilot study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a group intervention led by nurses in an outpatient mental health centre. The group work combined cognitive behavioural and psychoeducational therapeutic interventions to improve insomnia in patients with schizophrenic disorder and their health-related quality of life. This randomized clinical trial included intervention and control groups with follow-up assessments at 6 and 9 months, using the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and EuroQol-5D (EQ-5D) scales. The inclusion criteria were as follows: over 18 years of age, diagnosis of schizophrenia, and a score of >7 on the ISI scale. The total sample was 40 participants. The ISI scale showed a mean difference of 3.63 (CI 95%: 2.02–5.23) (p = 0.000) and 4.10 (CI 95%: 2.45–5.75) (p = 0.000) and a large effect size (F: 28.36; p = 0.000; ηp2: 0.427). Regarding the PSQI scale, the mean difference was 3.00 (CI 95%: 1.53–4.49) (p = 0.000) and 2.30 (CI 95%: 0.85–3.75) (p = 0.000), with a medium effect size (F: 18.31; p = 0.000 ηp2: 0.325). The EQ-VAS scale showed a difference in mean scores between the groups of 10.48 (CI 95%: −19.66–−1.29) (p = 0.027). CBT adapted for populations with mental disorders, carried out by nurses, is effective in improving insomnia and health-related quality of life.

“…Recent research has shown that the gut-brain axis is dysregulated in relation to insomnia and that abnormalities in the gut microbiota can make the condition worse. To date, there have been few investigations into the relationship between intestinal flora and insomnia ( Qi et al., 2022 ; Bundgaard-Nielsen et al., 2023 ; Chalet et al., 2023 ).…”

IntroductionInsomnia is the second most common mental health issue, also is a social and financial burden. Insomnia affects the balance between sleep, the immune system, and the central nervous system, which may raise the risk of different systemic disorders. The gut microbiota, referred to as the “second genome,” has the ability to control host homeostasis. It has been discovered that disruption of the gut-brain axis is linked to insomnia.MethodsIn this study, we conducted MR analysis between large-scale GWAS data of GMs and insomnia to uncover potential associations.ResultsTen GM taxa were detected to have causal associations with insomnia. Among them, class Negativicutes, genus Clostridiuminnocuumgroup, genus Dorea, genus Lachnoclostridium, genus Prevotella7, and order Selenomonadalesare were linked to a higher risk of insomnia. In reverse MR analysis, we discovered a causal link between insomnia and six other GM taxa.ConclusionIt suggested that the relationship between insomnia and intestinal flora was convoluted. Our findings may offer beneficial biomarkers for disease development and prospective candidate treatment targets for insomnia.

The pervasive impact of COVID‐19 and economic sanctions has significantly influenced the well‐being of Iranian athletes, leaving lasting imprints on both their physical and mental health. During this challenging time, this comprehensive study delves into the nuanced disparities among various cohorts of Iranian athletes across multiple dimensions, including insomnia severity, psychological distress, anxiety, depression, intrusive thoughts, life satisfaction, and hope. Stratifying the participants based on their professionalism level, age, education, sports activity engagement, and COVID‐19 infection status, our survey‐based findings from a cohort of 280 athletes reveal compelling insights: Male athletes exhibit higher levels of distress, anxiety, and depression compared to their female counterparts. Professional athletes manifest elevated psychological distress, anxiety, and depression in contrast to semi‐professional and amateur athletes. Insomnia severity is more prevalent among professional athletes, concurrently accompanied by higher levels of hope within this group. Young athletes and those with higher educational attainment report increased intrusive thoughts. Local and national athletes demonstrate higher levels of life satisfaction and hope compared to their international counterparts. Athletes not infected with Coronavirus experience heightened psychological distress compared to their COVID‐19‐infected counterparts. This nuanced exploration underscores the intricate interplay between various factors and their profound implications for the mental well‐being of Iranian athletes in the face of global health challenges and economic constraints. By recognizing the vulnerabilities exposed during the pandemic and sanctions, policymakers can work toward a more resilient and robust sports sector, ensuring that the mental health and psychosocial well‐being of athletes remain at the forefront of policy considerations.
