The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between the quantity of jobs and nocturnal awakenings of Brazilians living in Massachusetts.
We sampled of 48 documented Brazilians around the age of 45.5 years old. 52.1% of them were women. Data gathering occurred for three weeks, using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Participants also wore wrist actigraph and filled sleep/wake diary for a week.
The sleep quality of immigrants with one job (mean=8.58, SD=4.16) is better when compared to immigrants with 2-3 jobs (mean=12.7, SD=3.57) according to the PSQI scores. Immigrants with 2-3 jobs reported dissatisfaction on three components of the scale: sleep duration, sleep efficiency and sleep quality.
There is a positive relationship between the quantity of jobs and nocturnal awakenings and between nocturnal awakenings and complaints related to sleep apnea among Brazilians in Massachusetts. The assessment of systemic morbidities associated with sleep pattern changes should be considered in future research.
本研究旨在评估居住在马萨诸塞州的巴西人的工作数量与夜间觉醒之间的关系。
我们对48名年龄在45.5岁左右的有记录的巴西人进行了抽样。其中52.1%为女性。使用匹兹堡睡眠质量指数进行了为期三周的数据收集。参与者还佩戴了手腕活动记录仪,并填写了一周的睡眠/觉醒日记。
根据PSQI评分,有一份工作的移民的睡眠质量(均值=8.58,标准差=4.16)比有2至3份工作的移民(均值=12.7,标准差=3.57)更好。有2至3份工作的移民在量表的三个组成部分上表示不满意:睡眠时间、睡眠效率和睡眠质量。
在马萨诸塞州的巴西人中,工作数量与夜间觉醒之间以及夜间觉醒与与睡眠呼吸暂停相关的投诉之间存在正相关关系。未来的研究应考虑对与睡眠模式变化相关的系统性疾病进行评估。
