This study aimed at assessing effect of the four dimensions of work-family conflicts (strain and time-based work interference into family and family interference into work) on sleep disturbance in Malaysian working women. This cross-sectional study was conducted among 325 Malaysian married working women. Multiple-stage simple random sampling method was used to recruit women from public service departments of Malaysia. Self-administrated questionnaires were used to measure the study variables and data were analyzed using SPSS version 21. We found that high level of the four dimensions of work-family conflicts significantly increase sleep disturbance. Our analyses also revealed an age-dependent effect of the work-family conflict on sleep disturbance. Women in their 20 to 30 yr old suffer from sleep disturbance due to high level of time-based and strain-based work-interference into family. However, the quality of sleep among women aged 30-39 were affected by strain-based family-interference into work. Finally, women older than 40 yr had significantly disturbed sleep due to strain-based work-interference into family as well as time-based family interference into work. Our findings showed that sleep quality of working women might be disturbed by experiencing high level of work-family conflict. However, the effects of inter-role conflicts on sleep varied among different age groups.
本研究旨在评估工作-家庭冲突的四个维度（压力和基于时间的工作对家庭的干扰以及家庭对工作的干扰）对马来西亚职业女性睡眠障碍的影响。这项横断面研究在325名马来西亚已婚职业女性中进行。采用多阶段简单随机抽样方法从马来西亚公共服务部门招募女性。使用自填式问卷测量研究变量，并使用SPSS 21版对数据进行分析。我们发现，工作-家庭冲突的四个维度水平较高会显著增加睡眠障碍。我们的分析还揭示了工作-家庭冲突对睡眠障碍的年龄依赖性影响。20至30岁的女性因基于时间和压力的工作对家庭的干扰程度较高而患有睡眠障碍。然而，30至39岁女性的睡眠质量受到基于压力的家庭对工作的干扰的影响。最后，40岁以上的女性因基于压力的工作对家庭的干扰以及基于时间的家庭对工作的干扰而睡眠明显受到干扰。我们的研究结果表明，职业女性的睡眠质量可能会因经历高水平的工作-家庭冲突而受到干扰。然而，角色间冲突对睡眠的影响在不同年龄组中有所不同。
