Single-Group Pretest-Posttest Design
The method of this study will consist of a mixed-method design conducted with athletes selected from the Turkish Women's National Sitting Volleyball Team through purposive sampling. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) will be used to assess participants' sleep quality, while the Athlete Sleep Behavior Questionnaire (ASBQ) will be employed to evaluate their sleep behaviours. Data will be collected at two distinct time points: first, prior to the implementation of a structured sleep hygiene education program, and subsequently approximately 30 days later, designated as the post-test phase. In order to provide a more in-depth explanation of the results obtained from the quantitative data and to achieve a more contextual understanding, qualitative data will be collected through two online focus group discussions conducted following the post-test.
