Explore how social factors influence sleep, especially sleep-related beliefs and behaviors. Sleep complaints, sleep hygiene behaviors, and beliefs about sleep were studied in 65 black/African American and white/European American women. Differences were found for snoring and discrepancy between sleep duration and need. Sleep behaviors differed across groups for napping, methods for coping with sleep difficulties, and nonsleep behaviors in bed. Beliefs also distinguished groups, with differences in motivation for sleep and beliefs about sleep being important for health and functioning. These findings have important public health implications in terms of developing effective sleep education interventions that include consideration of cultural aspects.
探讨社会因素如何影响睡眠,特别是与睡眠相关的信念和行为。研究了 65 名黑/非裔美国人和白/欧裔美国女性的打鼾和睡眠持续时间与需求之间的差异、睡眠抱怨、睡眠卫生行为以及睡眠信念。在小睡、应对睡眠困难的方法和床上非睡眠行为方面,不同群体的睡眠行为也存在差异。信念也区分了不同的群体,在睡眠动机和对睡眠重要性的信念方面存在差异,这些信念对健康和功能很重要。这些发现对于制定有效的睡眠教育干预措施具有重要的公共卫生意义,包括考虑文化方面。
