Research on Hispanic sleep (1) remains far behind research on non-Hispanic White sleep, and (2) seldom focuses solely on Hispanic women. A convergent parallel mixed-methods study design was used to examine (1) sleep quantity, quality, and habits; (2) the association of sleep and health; and (3) perceived barriers to healthy sleep in middle-aged Hispanic women living in [a large Midwest city]. A total of 78 Hispanic women were surveyed, and 27 of these Hispanic women participated in focus groups. Participants had: poor sleep quantity, quality, and sleep hygiene. In focus groups, participants identified three barriers to healthy sleep: poor sleep hygiene, responsibilities and related stress, and additional mental health concerns. While poor sleep quantity and quality have serious health consequences for Hispanic women, sleep disorders in Hispanic women have been understudied. This study underscores barriers to healthy sleep and the associations between sleep and health in Hispanic women.
关于西班牙裔睡眠的研究（1）仍远远落后于非西班牙裔白人睡眠的研究，并且（2）很少仅关注西班牙裔女性。本研究采用了一种收敛平行混合方法的研究设计，以检验（1）睡眠数量、质量和习惯；（2）睡眠与健康的关联；以及（3）居住在[美国中西部一个大城市]的中年西班牙裔女性中，健康睡眠的感知障碍。总共对78名西班牙裔女性进行了调查，其中27名西班牙裔女性参加了焦点小组。参与者存在：睡眠数量差、质量差和睡眠卫生习惯不良的问题。在焦点小组中，参与者确定了健康睡眠的三个障碍：睡眠卫生习惯不良、责任及相关压力，以及其他心理健康问题。虽然睡眠数量和质量差对西班牙裔女性有严重的健康后果，但西班牙裔女性的睡眠障碍一直未得到充分研究。本研究强调了西班牙裔女性健康睡眠的障碍以及睡眠与健康之间的关联。
