“…This study revealed that MBSR group training affects the sleep quality of postmenopausal women until one month after the intervention ( p < 0.001). The results of the present study are consistent with some studies [ 35 , 45 – 48 ]. Andersen et al(2013) assessed effect of mindfulness-based stress reduction on sleep quality among Danish breast cancer patients; their results showed that MBSR improved of sleep quality just after the intervention but no long- term effect (6–12 months) among these patients [ 25 ].…”

“…Talley et al (2020) in a comprehensive study revealed that a high level of intrusive thoughts, avoidance, and over-stimulation are associated with sleep quality. Mindfulness techniques due to improving awareness and reducing reaction to negative thoughts can help a person to sleep [ 48 ]. Of course, in the present study, the mediators of sleep quality have not been investigated.…”

Background and purpose Sleep disorder is one of the most common problems during menopause, which affects different areas of people's lives. Today, mindfulness is one of the concepts that have attracted a lot of attention due to its desirable effects and low side effects. The present study was conducted to investigate the effect of mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) group training on sleep quality of postmenopausal women. Method This is a quasi-experimental parallel study. The study involved 66 eligible postmenopausal women 45–60 years’ old (n = 33 in each group) during 2019–2020. The minimum score of women was 5 from Pittsburgh questionnaire. Eight sessions weekly (120-min/session) MBSR group training was conducted in the intervention group and menopausal health in the control group for two months. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Questionnaire was used as a data collection tool. Descriptive statistics and nonparametric tests were utilized to analyze the data using SPSS software (version 25). The significance level < 0.05 was considered. Results Socio-demographic characteristics of participants were no statistically significant difference between the study groups before the intervention. The results showed that mean of overall quality of sleep score was before the intervention 10.21 ± 3.03, after the intervention 4.7 ± 2.45, and one month after the intervention 4.69 ± 2.4 respectively in intervention group (P < 0.001). While there was no significant change in the mean overall quality of sleep quality in the control group. Conclusion According to the results, MBSR group training is an effective strategy for improving the sleep quality of postmenopausal women. Therefore, could be used to improve the sleep quality of postmenopausal women by midwifery consultants in health centers.

“…While cognitive reappraisal and/or suppression constitute an attempt to exert executive control over these runaway repetitive thoughts, and will modify the association between Suppression with self-reported sleep difficulty and no association with Reappraisal, 64,65 others have found a negative association between Reappraisal and sleep difficulty, 66 and yet others report that neither factor was associated with sleep difficulty. 67 Here we found that both tendencies correlated, albeit weakly, with subjective sleep reports, in the expected directions and consistent with the association between Reappraisal and Suppression with better vs. worse mental health, respectively. 68,69 It should be noted that the correlations between sleep measures and Suppression were larger than the correlations with Reappraisal, in line with reports of stronger associations between Suppression and psychopathology symptoms in posttraumatic stress disorder, 70 anxiety, and eating disorders.…”

Introduction: It is postulated that negative ruminations perpetuate insomnia symptoms by increasing arousal. Less is known about the role of positive rumination. In this study, we set out to test the association between positive and negative ruminations and subjective sleep and ask whether reappraisal and suppression moderate the relationship between rumination types and subjective sleep reports. Methods: 354 participants (59% women), ages 18-50, responded to online questionnaires regarding symptoms of insomnia (Insomnia Severity Index [ISI]), Emotion Regulation Questionnaire that provides separate scales for Reappraisal and Suppression, Negative Rumination (Ruminative Response Scale), Positive Rumination and Dampening (Responses to Positive Affect questionnaire), and general health and demographics.Results: All three rumination types significantly correlated with ISI (Negative Rumination: R=.567; Positive Rumination: R=-.128; Dampening: R=.519). The primary hypothesis was tested using six separate moderation models, where rumination type, emotion regulation style, and an interaction term were predictors and ISI as the outcome variable. The interaction terms of Negative Rumination with Reappraisal (β=-0.03) and Suppression (β=-0.07) were not significant; the interaction terms of Positive Rumination with Reappraisal (β=0.2) and Suppression (β=-0.17) were significant; and the interaction terms of Dampening with Reappraisal (β=-0.11) and Suppression (β=0.10) were significant. Discussion: Positive Rumination weakly and negatively correlated with ISI, but the combination with Reappraisal was associated with worse sleep. By contrast, Dampening was associated with worse subjective sleep, an effect attenuated by both emotion regulation strategies. Finally, Negative Rumination may be a more powerful regulator of emotion, unaffected by attempts to regulate the emotion.

“…Also, Individuals high in neuroticism exhibit lower sleep quality and frequently report unwanted wakefulness after sleep onset [55,56]. Vulnerability to psychological disorder is key to understanding differential stress responses to severe life events [57][58][59]. Depression are also one of the common causes of sleep disorders, with depressive symptoms accounting for more than 40% of insomnia cases [60].…”

Background: Research predominantly suggests that nurses are at high risk of developing psychopathology. The empirical data show that the occurrence rate of problem-related sleep quality among clinical nurses is high. Therefore, this study was conducted to address the lack of information on the relationship between COVID-19 pandemic and Insomnia.Methods: A convenience sample of nurses (n=680) completed an online survey that included the insomnia severity index, the COVID-19-related psychological distress scale, the general health questionnaire, neuroticism, dysfunctional beliefs and attitudes about sleep; and difficulties with emotional difficulties. Results: Results showed that 35.8 % (n=253) of nurses were classified as individuals with moderate to severe clinical Insomnia. The results showed that the psychological distress generated by the COVID-19 predicted the insomnia (β=.47, SE= 0.02, P<.001, t=13.27, 95% CI 0.31-0.46). Also, this association mediated by the psychopathology vulnerabilities, emotion dysregulation, dysfunctional beliefs about sleep, and neuroticism. Moreover, female nurses exhibited higher levels of insomnia (Cohen’s d=.37), dysfunctional beliefs about sleep (Cohen’s d=.21), and neuroticism (Cohen’s d=.29), than males.Conclusion: The findings make a significant contribution to the expanding literature on emotion dysregulation, beliefs, and psychopathology vulnerability on Insomnia. The findings suggest the potential influence of Cognitive behavioural therapy interventions for insomnia (CBT-I) and transdiagnostic integrated therapies that could be incorporated into therapeutic of programs designed to develop as a way of inhibiting or preventing insomnia among clinical nurses.
