摘要

Postmenopausal women are more likely to experience sleep problems; therefore, this study aimed to examine the effect of spiritual reminiscence on their sleep quality. This clinical trial involved 40 postmenopausal women who were randomly selected based on inclusion criteria and divided into two groups of 20 each. The reminiscence protocol was conducted over six sessions. Participants completed the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and a demographic questionnaire before the intervention and immediately afterward. There were no significant differences in demographic variables between the two groups (P > 0.05). A statistically significant improvement in sleep quality was observed within the intervention group at both time points (P < 0.05). Additionally, significant differences in sleep quality were found between the intervention and control groups (P < 0.05). These findings suggest that spiritual reminiscence is an effective intervention for improving sleep quality among postmenopausal women.
