Patients’ experiences of group-delivered sleep restriction therapy in primary care: a qualitative study undertaken alongside a randomized controlled trial
Patients' experience of group-SRT were influenced by the patient-provider relationship, motivation, and comorbid depression, all which impacted engagement. This study provides valuable insights into how patients perceive group-SRT, contributing to the refinement of future insomnia treatments. Further research should explore healthcare providers' perspectives on both the challenges and opportunities for implementing group-SRT in primary care.
