The purpose of this study was to test a set of hypotheses suggesting sleep quality and spiritual beliefs differed according to degree of psychological distress and biological sex. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index measured sleep quality, the Beliefs and Values Scale measured spiritual beliefs, and the Kessler-6 Psychological Distress Scale measured distress. A factorial MANOVA tested the model. Higher sleep quality and greater spiritual beliefs were associated with lower levels of distress. Women exhibited lower sleep quality than men, whereas spiritual beliefs were equivalent between sexes. To decrease psychological distress, interventions should improve sleep quality and increase spiritual engagement.
本研究的目的是检验一组假设,这些假设表明睡眠质量和精神信仰会因心理困扰程度和生理性别而有所不同。匹兹堡睡眠质量指数用于测量睡眠质量,信念与价值观量表用于测量精神信仰,凯斯勒6项心理困扰量表用于测量困扰程度。采用析因多变量方差分析对模型进行检验。较高的睡眠质量和更强的精神信仰与较低的困扰水平相关。女性的睡眠质量低于男性,而两性之间的精神信仰相当。为了减轻心理困扰,干预措施应改善睡眠质量并增加精神参与度。
