Abstract

Background: Smokers frequently experience insomnia, a sleep disturbance linked to nicotine’s stimulating properties that negatively impact sleep quality. Non-pharmacological approaches, such as structured physical exercise, have gained attention as alternative interventions for insomnia management. Purpose: The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of structured physical exercise in reducing insomnia severity among young adult smokers. Methods: This study employed a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest model and control group. A total of 40 young adult smokers were recruited as participants and proportionally assigned to either the intervention or control group, with 20 individuals in each. The intervention group underwent a structured physical exercise program for four weeks, performed three times per week for 30 minutes per session, while the control group received health education materials. Insomnia severity was measured using ISI (the Insomnia Severity Index). Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test for within-group comparisons and the Mann–Whitney U test for between-group differences. Result: The findings revealed a significant reduction in ISI scores within the intervention group, with an average difference of 4.40 (p<0.001), whereas the control group showed a smaller, non-significant reduction of 0.80 (p=0.086). Structured physical exercise proved to be statistically more effective in decreasing insomnia severity compared to health education (p=0.001). Implication: Community nurses can adopt promotive strategies by implementing structured physical exercise interventions to effectively reduce insomnia severity among young adult smokers. This non-pharmacological approach can be systematically integrated into public health programs to support improved sleep quality and overall health outcomes.

Abstract

Nebulization therapy is an essential method of drug administration that enables effective delivery of medicationsto the respiratory tract in aerosol form; however, contaminated nebulizer components may serve as a source of pathogenicmicroorganisms associated with nosocomial pneumonia. This in vitro experimental study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness ofchlorhexidine as a nebulizer disinfectant in eliminating pathogenic bacteria. The study employed a post-test control group designusing six groups of nebulizer chambers, consisting of two control groups and four intervention groups. Two clinically relevantbacteria, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii, were inoculated into the nebulizer chambers. The interventiongroups were disinfected using chlorhexidine gluconate at concentrations of 2.5%, 4%, and 5% diluted in 70% alcohol, and 2.5%chlorhexidine diluted in distilled water, while the control groups received sterile water and 70% alcohol, in accordance withexisting guidelines. After a standardized exposure period, bacterial growth was assessed using Colony Forming Unit (CFU) counts. Data were analyzed descriptively and comparatively to evaluate bacterial eradication across groups. The results demonstrated that 5% chlorhexidine diluted in 70% alcohol achieved complete bacterial elimination (0 CFU) for both bacterial strains, whereas lower concentrations showed residual growth. These findings indicate that chlorhexidine, particularly at higher concentrations, demonstrates strong disinfectant activity against common nosocomial pneumonia pathogens in nebulizer chambers. Nevertheless, the results are limited to in vitro conditions; therefore, further studies involving a wider range of microorganisms, standardized exposure times, and assessments of aerosol contamination during clinical nebulization are warranted to support its practical application.
