ABSTRACT
STUDY OBJECTIVES:
To examine if comorbid anxiety and depression symptoms (psychological distress) moderate intervention effect in participants receiving digital Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (dCBT-I) in a large-scale randomized controlled trial (RCT), compared to a patient education (PE) control condition. Further, we investigate if dCBT-I reduced levels of psychological distress for those with insomnia and comorbid psychological distress.METHODS:
1721 participants with insomnia completed online assessments of sleep, fatigue and psychological distress, at baseline and at nine-week follow-up. Primary outcome was Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), and secondary outcomes included self-reported sleep (diary), cognition, fatigue, and psychological distress. Participants with psychological distress (HADS>16) were separated from participants without psychological distress. Linear mixed models in SPSS were conducted to test the effects of the intervention.RESULTS:
At nine-week follow-up we found no difference in effect of the intervention between those who had comorbid psychological distress vs. those without psychological distress in terms of insomnia severity (p = 0.552) and fatigue (p = 0.744). Both groups had large effect size improvements on insomnia severity (p < 0.001=), small to medium (Cohen d < 0.08) improvements on fatigue (p < 0.01=) and sleep efficiency (p < 0.001), and small improvement on other sleep diary measures, compared to their respective control group. The psychological distress group showed a small, but statistically significant decrease in psychological distress (d = 0.2, p < 0.05) with dCBT-I compared to PE.CONCLUSION:
dCBT-I is a viable treatment for Insomnia also for those who have comorbid psychological distress.
