The current study aimed to investigate Chinese immigrants' sleep quality and associations between the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic's impact and racism and sleep disruption using a cross-sectional online survey. A total of 507 Chinese immigrants were recruited via social network sites. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was used to assess sleep quality. The pandemic's impact and racism were measured using questions developed for this study. More than 42% of participants reported poor sleep quality. Those who reported having been affected by the pandemic had poorer subjective sleep quality, longer sleep latency, and greater daytime dysfunction. Those who experienced racist incidents were more likely to use sleep medication and exhibit poor subjective sleep quality, long sleep latency, short sleep duration, and daytime dysfunction. Chinese immigrants' sleep health warrants particular consideration by health care professionals. Timely, effective interventions, such as relaxation techniques and online psychoeducation, need to be delivered in the Chinese community. [(4), 45-51.].
本研究旨在通过横断面在线调查，调查中国移民的睡眠质量，以及2019年冠状病毒病大流行的影响、种族主义与睡眠障碍之间的关联。通过社交网站共招募了507名中国移民。使用匹兹堡睡眠质量指数（PSQI）评估睡眠质量。大流行的影响和种族主义通过为本研究设计的问题进行衡量。超过42%的参与者报告睡眠质量差。那些报告受到大流行影响的人主观睡眠质量较差、入睡潜伏期较长且日间功能障碍更严重。经历过种族主义事件的人更有可能使用助眠药物，且主观睡眠质量差、入睡潜伏期长、睡眠时间短和日间功能障碍。中国移民的睡眠健康值得医护人员特别关注。需要在中国社区提供及时、有效的干预措施，如放松技巧和在线心理教育。[(4), 45 - 51.]
