Popis: Background Insomnia disorder is a common mental health condition that significantly impacts patients' lives and well-being. Traditional cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) is an effective non-pharmacological treatment method, but its complexity, time-consuming nature, and low compliance limit its real-world application. Brief behavioral therapy for insomnia (BBT-I), based on CBT-I principles, offers comparable efficacy while being more suitable for real-world dissemination. However, the applicability of BBT-I to the Chinese population with insomnia disorder remains unclear, and research on BBT-I conducted online is lacking. Objective This study aims to investigate the efficacy of online e-aid brief behavioral therapy for insomnia (eBBT-I) delivered via WeChat Mini Program in improving insomnia symptoms among Chinese patients with insomnia disorder. Additionally, the study explores its impact on patients' sleep beliefs and attitudes. Methods This study employed a prospective non-randomized controlled design. Insomnia disorder patients from the Sleep Clinic at the First Affiliated Hospital of Jinan University between February and November 2023 were assigned to the intervention group. Insomnia disorder volunteers recruited online and offline were assigned to the control group. The intervention group received a 2-week eBBT-I (e-aid brief behavioral therapy for insomnia) treatment, while the control group received a sham intervention of mental health education. The severity of insomnia was assessed using the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) and the Dysfunctional Beliefs and Attitudes about Sleep-16 (DBAS-16) questionnaire before and after the intervention to evaluate its effectiveness. Results The study ultimately included 35 patients in the intervention group and 30 patients in the control group. Key outcome measures: there was a significant interaction effect between group and time for ISI scores (P0.05). After 14 days of intervention, the intervention group had lower ISI scores than the control group (P0.05). Time had a significant main effect on DBAS-16 scores (P0.05). No statistically significant difference in DBAS-16 scores was found between the two groups at baseline or after 14 days (P>0.05). However, within the intervention group, DBAS-16 scores increased after 14 days compared to baseline (P
