Outline of Final Research Achievements

Our study was originally designed to examine the effectiveness of three different approaches to treatment for sleep disorders experienced by patients admitted to ICUs and HCUs: (A) bright light therapy, (B) the M Technique, and (C) a combination of the two. However, we were only able to obtain cooperation from two medical institutions which agreed to practice the M Technique. We thus modified the research purpose as verification of the effectiveness of the M Technique in sleep disorder alleviation, having 13 ICU nurses in the partner institutions acquire the M Technique. We failed to fulfill the research purpose during the prescribed period because we were unable to secure study participants. Nevertheless, some of the nurses stated that the M Technique was generally applicable as a method to induce sleep and provide psychological care to patients.
