Previous research findings suggest that insomnia could be related to decreased health status and that it could also be affected by traumatic life experiences, such as war. Good health is important for newly arrived refugees for an effective integration process. The aim of the present study is, therefore, to investigate the association between self-perceived health and sleep quality among newly arrived refugees in Sweden. The results are based on 681 migrants who participated in a survey between 2015 and 2016. There was a significant odds ratio (OR) after adjustment for confounders for newly arrived refugees that were experiencing bad self-perceived health to also experience bad sleep: OR 8.07 (4.34-15.00). Furthermore, the OR remained significant but lower after adjustments for confounders for newly arrived refugees that had bad self-perceived health to be suffering from anxiety during sleep, with OR 3.83 (2.11-6.94).
先前的研究结果表明,失眠可能与健康状况下降有关,也可能受到创伤性生活经历的影响,例如战争。良好的健康状况对于新抵达的难民的有效融入过程非常重要。因此,本研究旨在调查瑞典新抵达难民的自我感知健康与睡眠质量之间的关联。研究结果基于 2015 年至 2016 年间参与调查的 681 名移民。调整混杂因素后,新抵达的难民自我感知健康状况不佳者出现睡眠质量差的几率比(OR)为 8.07(4.34-15.00)。此外,调整混杂因素后,新抵达的难民自我感知健康状况不佳者在睡眠中出现焦虑症状的几率比(OR)仍有显著意义,但有所降低,为 3.83(2.11-6.94)。
