Non-guided, mobile, CBT-I-based sleep intervention in War-torn Ukraine: A feasibility study
The 'Sleep2Ukraine' program demonstrated high feasibility and acceptance, with significant improvements in subjective sleep and mental health measures among participants. However, given the study's uncontrolled design and reliance on self-selected participants, these findings should be considered preliminary. Randomized controlled trials are needed to establish efficacy. Nonetheless, the results highlight the potential of culturally adapted, scalable, mobile-based CBT-I interventions to address sleep and mental health needs in war-affected populations.
