In occupational therapy, while several studies have focussed on occupational balance, few have investigated it in the context of sleep.
The aim of this study was to investigate the associations between sleep and occupational balance among women.
In total, 157 women responded to the Occupational Balance Questionnaire and Karolinska Sleep Questionnaire. Linear regression was used to analyse data.
The median score for occupational balance was 12 (interquartile range [IQR] 9), while that for sleep was 86 (IQR 16). Sleep and sleepiness fatigue were significantly associated ( < 0.1) with satisfaction with the number of occupations during a regular week. Difficulties awakening and snoring disorders were significantly associated ( < 0.1) with balance with physical, social, intellectual, and restful occupations.
The majority of participants slept well and had a good sleep quality. There is an association between occupational balance and sleep. In particular, aspects related to the number of occupations, adequate time to perform them and the time spent recovering and sleeping were associated with good sleep quality. Balance among physical, social, intellectual, and restful occupations was associated with difficulties awakening and snoring.
Our results support the need for occupational therapists to focus on occupational balance, to improve women's sleep.
在职业治疗中,虽然有几项研究侧重于职业平衡,但很少有研究将其置于睡眠背景下进行探讨。
本研究旨在调查女性睡眠与职业平衡之间的关系。
共有 157 名女性对职业平衡问卷和卡罗林斯卡睡眠问卷作出回应。线性回归用于分析数据。
职业平衡的中位数评分为 12(四分位距[IQR]9),而睡眠的中位数评分为 86(IQR16)。睡眠和睡眠疲劳与常规周内对职业数量的满意度显著相关( < 0.1)。醒来困难和打鼾障碍与身体、社会、智力和休息职业的平衡显著相关( < 0.1)。
大多数参与者睡眠良好,睡眠质量较高。职业平衡与睡眠之间存在关联。特别是与职业数量、完成职业的充足时间以及恢复和睡眠时间有关的方面与良好的睡眠质量有关。身体、社会、智力和休息职业之间的平衡与醒来困难和打鼾有关。
我们的研究结果支持职业治疗师需要关注职业平衡,以改善女性的睡眠。
