Co-design to increase implementation of insomnia guidelines in primary care.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Sleep disorders, including insomnia, are widespread problems, which have increased during the COVID-19 pandemic. Guidelines for the treatment of insomnia prioritize non-pharmacological interventions. Nevertheless, primary care professionals lack well-developed material for patient education, that could help implement the treatment guidelines in Flanders, Belgium.

Objective

This project's purpose is to develop complementary, written educational material, grounded in the principles of evidence-based practice, for primary care.

Patient involvement

This co-design project involved patients and health professionals. Special attention was given to including patients with low health literacy, and empowering patients when designing in mixed groups.
