Association Between Sleep Hygiene and Sleep Quality in Medical Students
Behavioral sleep medicine, 2010Co-Authors: Cameron Brick, Darbi L. Seely, Tonya M. PalermoAbstract:The aim of this study was to determine whether subjective Sleep Quality was reduced in medical students, and whether demographics and Sleep hygiene behaviors were associated with Sleep Quality. A Web-based survey was completed by 314 medical students, containing questions about demographics, Sleep habits, exercise habits, caffeine, tobacco and alcohol use, and subjective Sleep Quality (using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index). Correlation and regression analyses tested for associations among demographics, Sleep hygiene behaviors, and Sleep Quality. As hypothesized, medical students' Sleep Quality was significantly worse than a healthy adult normative sample (t = 5.13, p < .001). Poor Sleep Quality in medical students was predicted by several demographic and Sleep hygiene variables, and future research directions are proposed.

Sleep Quality and Its Correlates in the First Year of Dialysis
Clinical journal of the American Society of Nephrology : CJASN, 2006Co-Authors: Mark Unruh, Daniel J. Buysse, Mary Amanda Dew, Idris V. R. Evans, Nancy E. Fink, Neil R. Powe, Klemens B. MeyerAbstract:Although Sleep problems are thought to be prevalent among patients who undergo dialysis, there is only limited information on the determinants of Sleep Quality and the change in Sleep Quality during the first year of dialysis treatment. This report uses data from a national cohort study of incident hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis patients to identify the correlates of Sleep Quality and to determine the extent to which Sleep Quality is related to patients' health-related Quality of life and survival. This report includes 909 incident dialysis patients who responded to questions about Sleep Quality. Three quarters of incident dialysis patients reported impaired Sleep, and 14% had a decline in Sleep Quality in the first year of treatment. Poor Sleep Quality was significantly related to black race, higher serum phosphate, current smoking, benzodiazepine prescription, and complaints of severe restless legs. Poor baseline Sleep Quality was associated with lower SF-36 physical and mental component summary scores, vitality scores, and bodily pain scores (all P < 0.001). Younger age, current smoking, and benzodiazepine prescription were associated with decreases in Sleep Quality at 1 yr. There was no association between baseline Sleep Quality and survival; however, a decline in Sleep Quality during the first year on dialysis was associated with shorter survival (hazard ratio 1.44; 95% confidence interval 1.13 to 1.83; P = 0.003). Future work should examine the link between Sleep Quality and daytime functioning in the kidney failure population and the extent to which improving Sleep Quality will improve dialysis patient outcomes.

Treating complicated grief: effects on Sleep Quality.
Behavioral sleep medicine, 2006Co-Authors: Anne Germain, Katherine Shear, Timothy H. Monk, Patricia R. Houck, Charles F. Reynolds, Ellen Frank, Daniel J. BuysseAbstract:Complicated grief (CG) is characterized by recurrent distressing emotions and intrusive thoughts related to the loss of a loved one and avoidance of reminders of the deceased. Poor Sleep Quality characterizes CG. Cognitive-behavioral therapy and interpersonal psychotherapy reduce CG symptom severity. The effect of these treatments on Sleep Quality is not known, however. We investigated whether complicated grief treatments (CGTs) improve Sleep Quality, as assessed by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Data collected from 95 adults who participated in a randomized controlled trial were reviewed. Poor Sleep Quality persisted despite clinically significant improvements in CG severity posttreatment. Given that Sleep disturbance is a risk factor for poor health outcomes, adjunctive Sleep interventions may be necessary to enhance CGT outcomes.

Sleep Quality in complicated grief.
Journal of traumatic stress, 2005Co-Authors: Anne Germain, Krissa Caroff, Daniel J. Buysse, M. Katherine ShearAbstract:The aim of the present study was to evaluate severity of Sleep disturbances in a group of 105 individuals presenting with complicated grief (CG) accompanied or not by comorbid depression and/or posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). A sample of 105 adults meeting criteria for CG was included in this study. All completed the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). The total sample presented a mean global PSQI score of 9.44, indicating overall poor Sleep Quality. Comorbid depression, but not PTSD, further worsened Sleep Quality. Further studies are required to investigate the potential role of poor Sleep Quality as a modifiable risk factor of complicated grief response.

quantification of subjective Sleep Quality in healthy elderly men and women using the pittsburgh Sleep Quality index psqi
Sleep, 1991Co-Authors: Daniel J. Buysse, Timothy H. Monk, Charles F. Reynolds, Carolyn C Hoch, Amy L Yeager, David J KupferAbstract:Abstract Subjective Sleep Quality deteriorates with aging, but the extent to which this is a product of age itself, as opposed to the medical or psychiatric problems associated with aging, has not been carefully studied. To investigate this issue, we examined the subjective Sleep Quality of 44 healthy subjects over 80 years of age (20 men, 24 women), and 35 healthy subjects [corrected] between the ages of 20 and 30 (23 men, 12 women) using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). All subjects underwent rigorous medical and psychiatric evaluations to verify that they were in excellent physical and psychological health. Significant age effects were noted for the global PSQI score and several PSQI component scores, but overall Sleep Quality for the majority (68.1%) of 80-yr-olds fell within a categorically defined range for "good" Sleepers. Measures of habitual Sleep Quality did not correlate strongly with most polysomnographic Sleep measures, number of medications used or circadian measures in elderly subjects. These results show that subjective Sleep Quality does deteriorate in the healthy elderly, but not to the level seen in patients with Sleep disorders. Extremely healthy elderly subjects appear to adapt in their perception of objectively disturbed Sleep.

Sleep hygiene education: efficacy on Sleep Quality in working women.
The journal of nursing research : JNR, 2010Co-Authors: Pao-hui Chen, Hung-yu Kuo, Ke-hsin ChuehAbstract:Background: Although Sleep hygiene education represents a promising approach for patients with poor Sleep Quality, little research has been devoted in understanding the Sleep hygiene behavior and knowledge of working women. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy of a short-term Sleep hygiene education program on working women with poor Sleep Quality. Methods: This pilot study was a prospective and an exploratory intervention study. The intervention was tested on 37 selected working women with poor Sleep Quality in the community. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (score ＞ 5) was used to identify working women with poor Sleep Quality. After a pretest to assess Sleep Quality, researchers implemented a 5-week Sleep hygiene education program that addressed good Sleep environments/habits, emotional stress, the influence of diet/ alcohol/tobacco on Sleep, exercise, and alternative therapies. Tests administered midway through the program and after program completion provided the data used to analyze effective Sleep Quality changes. Results: Results showed Sleep hygiene education to improve participant Sleep Quality significantly (p＜.001). The Sleep Quality of all participants improved over both the 3-and the 5-week education program. The six components of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (i.e., subjective Sleep Quality, Sleep latency, Sleep duration, Sleep disturbances, use of Sleeping medication, and daytime dysfunction) also improved. Conclusion/Implications for Practice: A brief and effective Sleep hygiene education program delivered by a nurse can improve Sleep Quality in working women with Sleeping problems.
