The quality of social relationships and social support appears to be associated with physical health outcomes and sleep quality. Almost all previous research in this area focuses on positive aspects of relationships.
The present study thus intended to examine the links between supportive, aversive, ambivalent, and indifferent network ties and sleep quality.
Relationship data, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)-assessed sleep quality, and depression were examined in 175 middle-aged and older adults.
Consistent with hypotheses, supportive ties were positively related to sleep quality, while aversive ties predicted worse sleep quality, associations that were primarily seen for close relationships. Ambivalent and indifferent ties were not significant predictors of sleep quality. Importantly, depression was found to mediate the link between relationship quality and sleep quality.
These data suggest the more specific types of social relationships that may be linked to poor sleep quality and that depression appears to underlie these associations.
社会关系和社会支持的质量似乎与身体健康状况和睡眠质量相关。此前该领域几乎所有研究都聚焦于关系的积极方面。
因此,本研究旨在探究支持性、厌恶型、矛盾型和冷漠型网络关系与睡眠质量之间的联系。
对175名中老年成年人的关系数据、匹兹堡睡眠质量指数(PSQI)评估的睡眠质量以及抑郁情况进行了研究。
与假设一致,支持性的关系与睡眠质量呈正相关,而厌恶型关系预示着更差的睡眠质量,这种关联主要体现在亲密关系中。矛盾型和冷漠型关系并非睡眠质量的显著预测因素。重要的是,发现抑郁在关系质量与睡眠质量之间起中介作用。
这些数据表明了可能与睡眠质量差相关的更具体的社会关系类型,并且抑郁似乎是这些关联的潜在因素。
