The aim of this study was to measure the sleep quality and anxiety level of a group of employees, as well as determine the relationship between sleep quality and anxiety and other factors.
A total of 130 of 185 employees at a university campus were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. A descriptive questionnaire, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and the Beck Anxiety Inventory were the data collection instruments. In addition to univariate analysis, the relationship between the 2 scales was examined with Spearman correlation analysis.
Of the participants, 38.9% had poor sleep quality. Gender, income level, presence of a chronic disease, regular medication use, and relationship with family and the social environment were found to affect both sleep quality and anxiety. A decrease in sleep quality was associated with an increase in the level of anxiety.
Poor sleep quality and a high anxiety level are common in this country, as in the rest of the world. Socioeconomic interventions and psychosocial support to improve the status of individuals with risk factors, such as chronic disease, will reduce anxiety and improve sleep quality and overall psychosocial health. Further prospective studies should be conducted with different groups of participants and with larger samples to expand knowledge of the relationship between sleep quality and anxiety.
本研究旨在测量一组员工的睡眠质量和焦虑水平，并确定睡眠质量与焦虑及其他因素之间的关系。
在一所大学校园的185名员工中，共有130名参与了这项横断面研究。使用描述性问卷、匹兹堡睡眠质量指数和贝克焦虑量表作为数据收集工具。除单因素分析外，还采用Spearman相关分析来检验这两个量表之间的关系。
在参与者中，38.9%的人睡眠质量较差。研究发现，性别、收入水平、慢性病的存在、规律用药情况以及与家庭和社会环境的关系，均会对睡眠质量和焦虑产生影响。睡眠质量下降与焦虑水平升高相关。
与世界其他地区一样，该国睡眠质量差和焦虑水平高的情况很常见。通过社会经济干预和心理社会支持来改善有慢性病等危险因素的个体的状况，将减少焦虑，改善睡眠质量和整体心理社会健康。应针对不同的参与者群体并采用更大的样本进行进一步的前瞻性研究，以扩大对睡眠质量与焦虑之间关系的认识。
