Insomnia-related affective functional disorder may negatively affect social cognition such as empathy, altruism, and attitude toward providing care. No previous studies have ever investigated the mediating role of attention deficit in the relationship between insomnia and social cognition.
A cross-sectional survey was carried out among 664 nurses (M = 33.03 years; SD ± 6.93 years) from December 2020 to September 2021. They completed the Scale of Attitude towards the Patient (SAtP), the Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS), a single-item numeric rating scale assessing the increasing severity of attention complaints, and questions relating to socio-demographic information. The analysis was carried out by examining the mediating role of attention deficit in the relationship between insomnia and social cognition.
The prevalence of insomnia symptoms was high (52% insomnia using the AIS). Insomnia was significantly correlated with attention problems ( = 0.18, standard error () = 0.02, < 0.001). Attention problems were significantly negatively correlated with nurses' attitudes towards patients (b = -0.56, SE = 0.08, < 0.001), respect for autonomy (b = -0.18, SE = 0.03, < 0.001), holism (b = -0.14, SE = 0.03, < 0.001), empathy (b = -0.15, SE = 0.03, < 0.001), and altruism (b = -0.10, SE = 0.02, < 0.001). Attention problems indirectly mediated the effect of insomnia on attitudes toward patients (99% CI = -0.10 [-0.16 to -0.05]), respect for autonomy (99% CI = -0.03 [-0.05 to -0.02]), holism (99% CI = -0.02 [-0.04 to -0.01]) empathy (99% CI = -0.03 [-0.04 to -0.01]), and altruism (99% CI = -0.02 [-0.03 to -0.01]).
Nurses with insomnia-related attention problems are likely to have poor explicit social cognition such as attitude toward patients, altruism, empathy, respect for autonomy, and holism.
与失眠相关的情感功能障碍可能会对社会认知产生负面影响，例如同理心、利他主义和提供护理的态度。以前没有研究调查过注意缺陷在失眠与社会认知之间关系中的中介作用。
2020 年 12 月至 2021 年 9 月，对 664 名护士（M = 33.03 岁；SD ± 6.93 岁）进行了横断面调查。他们完成了对患者的态度量表（SAtP）、雅典失眠量表（AIS）、一项评估注意力投诉严重程度增加的单项数字评分量表以及与社会人口学信息相关的问题。通过检查注意力缺陷在失眠与社会认知之间关系中的中介作用来进行分析。
失眠症状的发生率很高（AIS 失眠 52%）。失眠与注意力问题显著相关（= 0.18，标准误差 () = 0.02，< 0.001）。注意力问题与护士对患者的态度（b = -0.56，SE = 0.08，< 0.001）、尊重自主权（b = -0.18，SE = 0.03，< 0.001）、整体论（b = -0.14，SE = 0.03，< 0.001）、同理心（b = -0.15，SE = 0.03，< 0.001）和利他主义（b = -0.10，SE = 0.02，< 0.001）显著负相关。注意力问题间接介导了失眠对患者态度（99%置信区间=-0.10[-0.16 至-0.05]）、尊重自主权（99%置信区间=-0.03[-0.05 至-0.02]）、整体论（99%置信区间=-0.02[-0.04 至-0.01]）、同理心（99%置信区间=-0.03[-0.04 至-0.01]）和利他主义（99%置信区间=-0.02[-0.03 至-0.01]）的影响。
有失眠相关注意力问题的护士可能对患者态度、利他主义、同理心、尊重自主权和整体论等明确的社会认知较差。
