The Effectiveness of a Training Program Based on Relaxation to Develop Healthy Sleep Among Students with Intellectual Disability in the Al-Baha Region

The study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a relaxation-based training program in promoting healthy sleep among students with intellectual disabilities. The study utilized a quasi-experimental design, with a sample consisting of (10) fifth-grade students with intellectual disabilities, divided into two groups: an experimental group (n=5 students) and a control group (n=5 students). The study instruments included the Healthy Sleep Scale and the training program developed by the researcher. The results showed statistically significant differences between the mean ranks of the experimental and control groups in the post-measurement of the Healthy Sleep Scale and its sub-dimensions in favor of the experimental group. Additionally, there were statistically significant differences between the mean ranks of the experimental group members in the pre- and post-measurements for the overall score of the Healthy Sleep Scale and its sub-dimensions, in favor of the post-measurement. Furthermore, there were no statistically significant differences between the mean ranks of the experimental group members in the post-measurement and follow-up measurement of the Healthy Sleep Scale and its sub-dimensions.
