The primary outcome was sleep quality and other sleep parameters assessed by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). The secondary assessments comprised the Chalder Fatigue Questionnaire (CFS), the Work and Social Adjustment Scale (WSAS), and the Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36). The data were gathered at baseline, discharge, and follow-up periods (3, 6, and 12 months). A paired samples t-test, repeated measures ANOVAs, and the Friedman Test were used to determine the effectiveness of CBT. A linear mixed model was employed to evaluate the effect size of CBT.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      From all 217 participants (71.4% female; mean age = 39.42 \u00b1 12.32 years), 85.7% experienced poor sleep quality.
