调查了145名老年人对睡眠的看法和态度。SS组74例为慢性失眠症组,71例为自编睡眠优良组。他们对自己的一致或不一致程度(视觉模拟量表)进行了评级,其中28项陈述利用了关于几个与睡眠相关的主题的不同信念、期望和归因。结果显示,失眠症患者对失眠的负面后果有更强烈的信念,对睡眠失控的恐惧表现出更多的绝望,对失眠的不可预测性表现出更多的无助。研究结果表明,一些关于睡眠的信念和态度可能是导致长期失眠的原因之一。主要的临床含义是,这些认知应该被识别出来,并针对老年失眠的管理进行改变。(心理信息数据库记录(C)2022年APA,保留所有权利)
Examined the beliefs and attitudes about sleep among 145 older adults. Ss were either chronic insomniacs (n= 74) or self-defined good sleepers (n= 71). They rated their level of agreement or disagreement (visual analog scale) with 28 statements tapping various beliefs, expectations, and attributions about several sleep-related themes. The results showed that insomniacs endorsed stronger beliefs about the negative consequences of insomnia, expressed more hopelessness about the fear of losing control of their sleep, and more helplessness about its unpredictability. Findings suggest that some beliefs and attitudes about sleep may be instrumental in perpetuating insomnia. The main clinical implication is that these cognitions should be identified and targeted for alteration in the management of late-life insomnia.(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)
