About this trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effect of a Health Promotion Model-based oculomotor exercise program on sleep quality among older adults living in a nursing home.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
Does the Health Promotion Model-based oculomotor exercise program improve sleep quality in older adults living in a nursing home? Does participation in the program enhance self-efficacy and promote better health behaviors related to sleep?

Oculomotor Exercise Program
BehavioralThis intervention is a structured oculomotor exercise program based on the Health Promotion Model, developed to improve sleep quality among older adults living in a nursing home. The program focuses on enhancing visual-motor coordination and relaxation through systematic eye movement exercises. Participants in the experimental group perform oculomotor exercises three times per week for four consecutive weeks under researcher supervision. The program includes educational support and brief motivational guidance to encourage adherence and consistency. Follow-up sessions are conducted during the following two months to monitor sleep patterns and maintain behavioral improvement. This intervention differs from traditional exercise programs by targeting the oculomotor system and incorporating health promotion principles to support better sleep and overall well-being in older adults.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Sleep Quality
Sleep quality will be assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), which evaluates subjective sleep quality, sleep latency, duration, and disturbances over the previous month. Higher scores indicate poorer sleep quality.
Time frame
Baseline, 4 weeks, 2 and 3 months after the interventionSecondary outcomes
1
Stage of Behavioral Change
Behavioral change related to sleep habits will be assessed using the Stages of Change Inventory. The scale evaluates participants' progression through different stages of adopting and maintaining healthy sleep behaviors.
