Abstract

 Background: SLEEP disorders are common mental disorders reported among the ELDERLY in all countries, and with nonpharmacological interventions, they could be helped to improve their SLEEP quality.Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the effects of two interventions, foot REFLEXOLOGY and foot BATH, on SLEEP quality in ELDERLY people.Patients and Methods: This three-group randomized clinical trial (two experimental groups and a control group) was conducted on 69 ELDERLY men. The two experimental groups had REFLEXOLOGY (n=23) and foot BATH (n=23) interventions for 6 weeks. The REFLEXOLOGY intervention was done in the mornings, once a week for ten minutes on each foot. The participants in the foot BATH group were asked to soak their feet in 41oC to 42oC water one hour before SLEEPing. The pittsburgh SLEEP quality index (PSQI) was completed before and after the intervention through an interview process.Results: The results showed that the PSQI scores after intervention compared to before it in the REFLEXOLOGY and foot BATH groups were statistically significant (P=0.01, P=0.001); however, in the control group did not show a statistically significant difference (P=0.14). In addition, the total score changes among the three groups were statistically significant (P=0.01). Comparing the score changes of quality of SLEEP between the REFLEXOLOGY and foot BATH groups showed that there was no significant difference in none of the components and the total score (P=0.09). The two interventions had the same impact on the quality of SLEEP.Conclusions: It is suggested that the training of nonpharmacological methods to improve SLEEP quality such as REFLEXOLOGY and foot BATH be included in the ELDERLY health programs. In addition, it is recommended that the impact of these interventions on subjective SLEEP quality using polysomnographic recordings be explored in future research.
