BackgroundAllostatic load (AL) measures the cumulative impact of chronic stress and is associated with adverse health outcomes. A novel scoring system has previously been developed for AL in early pregnancy that is associated with pre-eclampsia. It was hypothesized that AL, as identified by the present model, is associated with psychosocial stressors and, specifically, poor sleep quality.MethodsWomen were selected from a low-risk, community-dwelling study population who enrolled at <15 weeks gestation. Nine physiologic components were divided among the domains of cardiovascular, metabolic, and inflammatory function. Spearman's rank correlations were used to examine the association of AL with age, income, the Revised Prenatal Distress Questionnaire (NuPDQ), Inventory of Depressive Symptoms (IDS), and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). The Wilcoxon rank-sum test was used to compare AL by race and educational attainment.ResultsA total of 103 women were identified, with: a mean age of 29.8 ± 5.0 years, 17.5% black, and mean gestational age 12.2 ± 1.1 weeks. Allostatic load was positively correlated with the PSQI (ρ = 0.23, p = 0.018). There were no associations with age, income, prenatal distress, race, or depression scores. College-educated women had lower AL compared with those with less education (0.57 ± 0.43 vs 0.81 ± 0.55, p = 0.045).ConclusionHigher AL, measured by the pregnancy-specific model, was associated with poorer sleep quality and lower educational attainment, both of which were considered to be chronic stressors. These relationships were consistent with previous findings in non-pregnant populations, and suggest that AL may be useful for capturing the physiologic impact of chronic stress in early pregnancy.  相似文献

ObjectivesWe aimed to compare three variants of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI usual, work- and work-free days: PSQIu, PSQIw, PSQIf) and to assess whether chronotype (MSFsc)/social jetlag (SJL) are associated with sleep quality in patients with sleep disorders (SD).MethodsIn sum, 431 SD patients and 338 subjects from the general population (GP) were included. Participants filled in three variants of the PSQI and the Munich ChronoType Questionnaire (MCTQ). We used Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE) to investigate effects of group (GP, SD), PSQI (usual, work or free) and their interaction (group1PSQI) on scores. To investigate associations between MSFsc/SJL and the difference between PSQIw and PSQIf (PSQIdiff) in patients with SD we used linear regressions (N = 352). We used Sobel to test whether there was a mediation effect of SJL on the association between MSFsc and PSQIdiff.ResultsPSQI scores differed between groups (p < 0.001). Post-hoc analysis revealed a significant difference between PSQIu vs. PSQIf and PSQIw vs. PSQIf with PSQIf presenting lower scores, while PSQIu vs. PSQIw did not differ in any group. In line with previous findings, SJL was associated to PSQIdiff in SD patients.ConclusionsPSQIu mainly represents sleep quality on workdays also in SD patients. Being a late chronotype seems to be associated with higher differences in sleep quality on work-vs. free days mostly when it coincides with societal time constraints. Since sleep quality is poorer on workdays even in SD patients, we suggest that treatment strategies should address social aspects affecting sleep, including ways of minimizing SJL.  相似文献

Short sleep duration, poor sleep quality, and insomnia frequently characterize sleep in pregnancy during all three trimesters. We aimed: (i) to review the clinical evidence of the association between conditions of sleep loss during pregnancy and adverse pregnancy outcomes; and (ii) to discuss the potential pathophysiological mechanisms that may be involved. A systematic search of cross-sectional, longitudinal studies using Medline, Embase, and PsychINFO, and MeSH headings and key words for conditions of sleep loss such as ‘insomnia’, ‘poor sleep quality’, ‘short sleep duration’, and ‘pregnancy outcome’ was made for papers published between January 1, 1960 and July 2013. Twenty studies met inclusion criteria for sleep loss and pregnancy outcome: seven studies on prenatal depression, three on gestational diabetes, three on hypertension, pre-eclampsia/eclampsia, six on length of labor/type of delivery, eight on preterm birth, and three on birth grow/birth weight. Two main results emerged: (i) conditions of chronic sleep loss are related to adverse pregnancy outcomes; and (ii) chronic sleep loss yields a stress-related hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis and abnormal immune/inflammatory, reaction, which, in turn, influences pregnancy outcome negatively. Chronic sleep loss frequently characterizes sleep throughout the course of pregnancy and may contribute to adverse pregnancy outcomes. Common pathophysiological mechanisms emerged as being related to stress system activation. We propose that in accordance to the allostatic load hypothesis, chronic sleep loss during pregnancy may also be regarded as both a result of stress and a physiological stressor per se, leading to stress ‘overload’. It may account for adverse pregnancy outcomes and somatic and mental disorders in pregnancy.  相似文献

Study objectivesMaternal and paternal sleep insufficiency during pregnancy appears to be a risk factor for health and wellbeing in young families. Here, we evaluated the prevalence of sleep insufficiency and symptoms of insomnia during pregnancy (at 32nd pregnancy week) and their relationship to depression, anxiety and environmental stress.MethodsThe study is based on a population based sample from Finland consisting of 1667 mothers and 1498 fathers from the Child-sleep birth cohort. We evaluated both the core symptoms of insomnia (sleep onset problems, nocturnal awakenings, too-early awakenings, and poor sleep quality) and the presence of insufficient sleep. Insufficient sleep was defined as a two-hour difference between self-assessed sleep need and reported sleep duration, or sleep duration shorter than six hours per night.ResultsWe found that symptoms of insomnia were more prevalent among women than among men (9.8% vs. 6.2%), whereas sleep debt was less prevalent among women than among men (4.5% vs. 9.6%). Overall, 11.8% of the women and 14.9% of the men reported either significant insomnia or short sleep. Symptoms of insomnia were related to symptoms of depression both among women and men (AOR 3.8, 95% CI 2.6–5.6 vs. AOR 1.9, 95% CI 1.1–3.2), while short sleep was related to depression among women (AOR 3.3, 95% CI 1.8–5.8), and to low education, poor health and a larger number of children among men.ConclusionsThe study showed that insomnia and sleep insufficiency are prevalent among women and men during pregnancy. The findings underline the impact of insomnia to both maternal and paternal health during pregnancy as well as to the implementation of effective interventions to prevent negative consequences of sleep disturbances.  相似文献

To dimensionally describe subjective sleep quality using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and estimate the prevalence rate of sleep problems (PSQI global score > 5) in the general Japanese adult population, 1871 subjects randomly selected from the 1995 Census were examined. The PSQI component scores (mean +/- SD) widely ranged (e.g. 0.04 +/- 0.31 in hypnotic medication use for males aged 20-29 years, 0.03 +/- 0.18 in hypnotic medication use for females aged 20-29 years, 1.10 +/- 0.94 in sleep latency for males aged 80 or older, 1.52 +/- 1.03 in sleep latency for females aged 80 or older). Statistical significance was found in each component score among age groups by gender. The PSQI global scores (mean +/- SD) by age groups ranged from 4.00 +/- 2.59 to 5.02 +/- 3.89 for males (P < 0.39) and 4.30 +/- 2.34 to 6.75 +/- 4.10 for females (P < 0.001). The respective prevalence rates of sleep problems were 26.4% (95% CI = 23.6, 29.3) for males and 31.1% (95% CI = 28.1, 33.9) for females.  相似文献

Pregnancy Complications and Outcomes in a Cohort of Women with Epilepsy   总被引:2,自引:7,他引:2  
To assess the possible adverse effects of maternal epilepsy on the course and outcome of pregnancy, all 138,780 Washington State birth certificates for the years 1980-81 were screened, and 204 births to epileptic mothers were identified. This was a lower than expected frequency of pregnancies in epileptic women. These births were compared with 612 randomly chosen control births for the same 2-year period. Of 46 pre- and perinatal events considered, eight were found to have occurred with significantly increased frequency for mothers with epilepsy. The offspring of these women were 2.8 times more likely to have low birth weight for their gestational age and 2.5 to 3.7 times more likely to have low Apgar scores or asphyxia. The excess risk of these adverse outcomes could not be explained by maternal race, parity, age, previous fetal loss, or socioeconomic status. These findings suggest that increased vigilance for complications of pregnancy and childbirth is warranted for epileptic women.  相似文献

ObjectivesTo examine the relationship between poor sleep quality during pregnancy and the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).MethodsA total of 4066 singleton pregnant women from the Tongji Maternal and Child Health Cohort (TMCHC) without overt diabetes before pregnancy were analyzed. Sleep quality and duration during early pregnancy were self-reported by enrolled women at their first antenatal care visit before 16 weeks of gestation. Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) was assessed with a 75-g, 2-h oral glucose tolerance test at 24–28 weeks of gestation. Information about self-reported sleep quality and duration in mid-pregnancy were also collected at this time. Odds ratios (OR) and 95% CIs were calculated by multivariable logistic regression models, and adjusted for potential confounders to estimate the effect of poor sleep quality and the interaction between sleep quality and duration on the development of GDM. Stratified analyses were performed according to age, parity, family history of diabetes and napping.ResultsA total of 335 (8.2%) participants were diagnosed with GDM. Poor sleep quality was reported in 259 (6.4%) women during early pregnancy and 248 (6.1%) in mid-pregnancy. The risk of GDM was increased in women with poor sleep quality during early pregnancy (OR 1.77, 95% CI 1.20–2.61). No association was found between poor sleep quality during mid-pregnancy and the risk of GDM. The risk of GDM was highest in women with poor sleep and longer nighttime sleep duration during early pregnancy (OR 2.27, 95% CI 1.20–4.29) when compared with those who reported good sleep and 7.0–8.5 h of sleep duration per night. Stratified analysis found that the association between poor sleep quality in early pregnancy and the risk of GDM was stronger among women aged ≥30 years (OR 2.35, 95% CI 1.35–4.09) and those with a family history of diabetes (OR 4.02, 95% CI 1.54–10.48).ConclusionsPoor sleep quality during early pregnancy was associated with an increased risk of GDM. Screening for and treating sleep problems in early pregnancy could potentially reduce the risk of GDM.  相似文献

Study objectivesVarious methods are employed to assess sleep in pregnant women, including self-report, sleep diary, and actigraphy. Unfortunately, the data are often contradictory, and interpretations are often inconsistent. The current aims are to compare subjective and objective sleep data in pregnant women collected longitudinally in early pregnancy.MethodsIn this secondary analysis of 104 pregnant women, sleep was collected via diary and actigraphy for 14 days during three separate occasions (10–12 weeks; 14–16 weeks; and 18–20 weeks). Sleep variables included wake after sleep onset (WASO), sleep efficiency (SE), bedtime/lights out, sleep onset latency (SL), and total sleep duration (TST). Repeated measures ANOVAs compared each sleep variable across Time and by Method of data collection, while controlling for parity and daytime naps.ResultsSignificant differences were noted for only the method of data collection for sleep component studied for WASO, F (1, 98) = 147.20, p < 0.001; SE, F (1, 98) = 129.41, p < 0.001); bedtime/lights out, F (1, 103) = 5.33, p < 0.05); and sleep duration, F (1, 104) = 182.75, p < 0.001). Significant variation was not seen in any variable across time-period. Conclusions: There are substantial discrepancies between diary- and actigraphy-assessed sleep measures in pregnant women which is in alignment with previous literature. These data highlight that these methodologies assess different constructs. We contend that these data may be useful as a reference to compare high-risk women or those with sleep disorders. Using a multi-modal approach to identify sleep disturbance in pregnancy is likely a more clinically useful option.  相似文献

Sleep and quality of life in the Austrian population   总被引:16,自引:0,他引:16  
PURPOSE: To compare the self-reported estimation of sleep quality evaluated by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and life quality assessed by the Quality of Life Index (QLI). BACKGROUND: The PSQI comprised 19 questions and assessed a wide variety of factors relating to sleep quality. The QLI consisted of 10 items for self assessment of different dimensions of life quality. SUBJECTS: A representative Austrian sample (n = 1049) aged above 15 years. PROCEDURE: Interviews in the homes of the participants. RESULTS: 32.1% could be classified as poor sleepers (37% females, 26.5% males). Sleep quality decreased with increasing age, especially in women. Overall quality of life was highest in younger (15-29 years) and lowest in elderly subjects (over 50 years). Life quality decreased with increasing age. Between subjective sleep quality and quality of life a moderate, significant correlation was found (r2= 0.6721). CONCLUSIONS: Complaints about a bad quality of sleep could be used as a screening method in the exploration of patients' quality of life (QoL).  相似文献

ObjectiveThe Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) is used extensively to assess subjective sleep disturbance in cancer populations. Although previous studies on the PSQI suggested a better fit for a two- or three-factor model than the original one-factor model, none accounted for the indicator-specific effect between sleep duration and habitual sleep efficiency. This study evaluated the PSQI’s dimensionality and its convergent validity with cancer-related psychopathological states in female breast cancer patients.MethodsThe PSQI was administered to 197 women with breast cancer. Confirmatory factor analysis examined the relative fit of one-, two-, three-, and revised one-factor models. The PSQI’s convergent validity was evaluated via bivariate correlations between the PSQI factor scores and measures of anxiety, depression, fatigue, pain, and quality of life.ResultsConfirmatory factor analyses showed an adequate fit for the revised one-factor model with the PSQI global score as the overall index of sleep disturbance. Although the revised one- and two-factor solutions showed statistically equivalent model fits, the one-factor model was selected due to utility reasons. The severity of sleep dysfunction that the PSQI global score represented was positively correlated with anxiety, depression, fatigue, pain, and reduced quality of life.ConclusionThe results support the PSQI’s original unidimensional structure, demonstrating that the PSQI global score is a valid and parsimonious measure for assessing and screening sleep dysfunction in cancer patients.  相似文献

Objective

Urology clinical trials assessing bladder function have relied on the self-reported duration of the first uninterrupted sleep period (FUSP) as a proxy outcome for sleep, but the relationship between this measure and more conventional self-reported measures of sleep is unknown. In this study, we examined the association between changes in FUSP and a widely used self-reported measure of sleep, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI).

Methods

We conducted post hoc (secondary) analyses of unpublished data from a previously published randomized clinical trial (NCT00477490) of desmopressin (a medication used to treat nocturia) and examined relationships between baseline and 4-week change in FUSP and PSQI global and subscale scores for participants (N = 580 to N = 606) having complete data.

Results

Data indicated strong associations between change in PSQI global score and FUSP change in six of seven subscale scores. A reduction of 1.8 points in the PSQI global score was associated with a 72-min lengthening of FUSP.

Conclusions

Results suggest that FUSP is a potentially valuable metric that correlates with changes in perceived sleep duration, depth, quality for the entire night, efficiency, latency, and daytime function. An increase in FUSP was related to improvement in nearly all PSQI subscales. The validity of this measure in the general population remains to be determined.  相似文献

ObjectiveThis study evaluated the agreement between a sleep diary and actigraphy on the assessment of sleep parameters among school teachers from Brazil.MethodsA total of 163 teachers (66.3% women; aged 45 ± 9 years) filled out a sleep diary and wore a wrist actigraph device for seven consecutive days. Data were collected from August 2014 to March 2015 in Londrina, a large city in southern Brazil. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) and Pearson correlation coefficients (r) were used to compare self-reported and actigraphic data.ResultsSelf-reported total sleep time (TST), sleep onset latency (SOL), and sleep efficiency were higher than measured by actigraphy (mean difference: 22.6 ± 46.9 min, 2.6 ± 13.3 min, and 7.3± 5.7%, respectively). Subjective total time in bed (TIB) and wake-up time were lower than measured by actigraphy (mean difference: −10.7 ± 37.6 and −19.7 ± 29.6, respectively). Moderate or good agreement and correlation were found between the sleep diary and the actigraphic data for TST (ICC = 0.70; r = 0.60), TIB (ICC = 0.83; r = 0.73), bedtime (ICC = 0.95; r = 0.91), sleep start time (ICC = 0.94; r = 0.88), and wake-up time (ICC = 0.87; r = 0.78). However, SOL (ICC = 0.49; r = 0.38) and sleep efficiency (ICC = 0.16; r = 0.22) showed only fair or poor agreement and correlation.ConclusionIn this highly educated population, the sleep diary and the actigraphy showed moderate or good agreement to assess several sleep parameters. However, these methods seemed to measure different dimensions of sleep regarding sleep onset latency and efficiency. These findings moderately varied according to the individual's subjective sleep quality.  相似文献

ObjectiveTo estimate the prevalence of sleep difficulties in a large cohort of long-term cancer survivors (>5 years) and examine associations with four domains of cancer-related problems.MethodsThis study analyzed a nationwide sample (N = 1903) of cancer survivors (31% Breast; 20% prostate) at nine years (m = 8.9 sd = 0.6) post-diagnosis with a mean age of 64.5 years. Sleep quality and sleep disturbance were assessed by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Multivariable logistic regression models examined associations between cancer-related problems (physical distress, emotional distress, economic distress, and fear of recurrence) and sleep difficulty (poor vs. low sleep quality and high vs. low sleep disturbance). Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were estimated, adjusting for medico-demographics, behavioral factors, and sleep medication use.ResultsIn sum, 20% percent of the sample reported poor sleep quality, 51% reported high sleep disturbance and 17% reported both. Sleep medication use was reported by 28% of the total sample. All four domains of cancer-related problems were significantly associated with poor sleep quality and high sleep disturbance. Above median cancer-related physical distress had the strongest association with both poor sleep quality (OR = 3.42; 95% CI = 2.44–4.79) and high sleep disturbance (OR = 4.06; 95% CI = 3.09–5.34).ConclusionsAmong nine-year cancer survivors, multiple domains of cancer-related health problems were associated with sleep difficulties. Knowledge of the relationship between cancer-related problems and sleep may aid clinicians during the evaluation and treatment of sleep problems in long-term cancer survivors. Future research should utilize prospective data to better understand the causal nature of the associations.  相似文献

Background: About 50% of the elderly population report being dissatisfied with their sleep. Although benzodiazepines are the most prescribed drugs to treat sleep complaints, the effectiveness of their use on the quality of sleep is not well documented.

Objectives: This study aimed to assess the association between benzodiazepine use and global sleep quality, as well as six components of sleep quality.

Methods: Data from the cross-sectional Quebec Survey on Seniors’ Health (n = 2798) conducted in 2005–2006 were used. Quality of sleep was self-reported and use of benzodiazepines was assessed during the previous year.

Results: Benzodiazepine users reported poorer quality of sleep than non-users. The association between benzodiazepine use and each of the six quality of sleep components studied were similar except for the daytime dysfunction component.

Conclusion: The results suggest that there is no evidence that using benzodiazepines is associated with better quality of sleep than non-users in the elderly population. Future longitudinal population-based studies are needed to assess improvements in quality of sleep in the elderly associated with the use of benzodiazepines.  相似文献
