ABSTRACT

A Prospective, Open label, Interventional study was conducted at teritiary care hospital with 100 study population in duration of 6 months with aim to assess the Incidence, Causes and resolution of Insomnia patients. The study found that, male patients were mostly affected with Insomnia than female in 67% in the age group of 51 - 70 years in 40%. Disease related pain is the most common causes in 25% and followed by Mental stress in 19%. The Insomnia severity Index scale indicates that, only 6% were with clinical significant Insomnia and 68% were Non clinical significant Insomnia. After Intervention, Insomnia reduced from 8.16 to 6, 75 by the proper Intervention with patients and care givers regarding consequences of Insomnia that leads to a high disease factor. The resolution before and after Cognitive behavioural therapy and Intervention by Clibnical pharmacist was found to be statistically significant. Hence, the study strongly recommends the need of Cognitive behavioural therapy and roll of Clinical Pharmacist to Improve the Quality of life of the In-patient at Hospital setup.
