Sleep loss places caregivers at risk for poor health. Understanding correlates of sleep loss and relationships to health may enable improvement of health of caregivers of individuals with primary malignant brain tumors (PMBT). In this cross-sectional, descriptive study of 133 caregivers, relationships were examined between sleep loss and physical, mental, emotional, and social health at time of patient diagnosis. Sleep loss was not related to physical health. Shorter total sleep time was associated with greater fatigue and social support. Sleep quality was positively associated with quality of life. Further study is needed of the role of sleep loss in the PMBT caregiving trajectory and its long-term relationship with health outcomes.
睡眠不足会使护理人员面临健康风险。了解睡眠不足的相关因素及其与健康的关系,可能有助于改善原发性脑恶性肿瘤 (PMBT) 患者护理人员的健康。在这项对 133 名护理人员的横断面描述性研究中,研究了患者诊断时睡眠不足与身体健康、心理健康、情绪健康和社会健康之间的关系。睡眠不足与身体健康无关。总睡眠时间越短,疲劳感和社会支持感就越强。睡眠质量与生活质量呈正相关。需要进一步研究睡眠不足在 PMBT 护理轨迹中的作用及其与健康结果的长期关系。
