Many elderly people are disturbed by insomnia. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition no longer considers insomnia as merely a symptom, secondary to medical and psychiatric problems, because insomnia has been found to cause depression, heart disease and accidents in older adults. Psychosocial treatment is preferable to pharmacological treatment in handling insomnia because of the lack of side effects. This study aims to examine the impact of group treatment on insomnia-stricken elderly people using cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) as well as strategies and skills learning and development (SSLD). These two approaches integrate well with each other. CBT modifies the dysfunctional beliefs and behaviours related to sleep, whilst SSLD enhances insomniacs’ awareness of their underlying needs. A mixed-methods research design revealed positive changes in night-time insomnia symptoms, daytime distress, dysfunctional beliefs about sleep, and depression. The suitability of the intervention model for Chinese elderly people is discussed
