八项雅典失眠量表(AIS-8)是一种经常被用来评估失眠问题的工具。之前对成年人的研究发现，AIS-8是唯一的组成部分。本研究旨在探讨AIS-8中失眠问题的患病率，AIS-8在青少年中的因素结构及其与人口统计学特征和青少年抑郁的关系。本研究以8,319名台湾南部青少年学生为被试，其中女生4,334人，男生3,985人，平均年龄 = 14.7 岁，标准差 = 1.7 岁。我们还使用多元回归分析模型来确定失眠与人口统计特征和抑郁之间的关系。结果发现，根据AIS-8的测量，有很高比例的青少年存在失眠问题。AIS-8在大量青少年人群中使用时由两个不同的因素组成，包括失眠症状(因素1)和主观睡眠和日间苦恼(因素2)。而男性、年轻和抑郁与失眠症状的严重程度(因素1)呈正相关，年龄、居住在城市和抑郁与主观睡眠和日间苦恼的严重程度(因素2)呈正相关。临床医生和研究人员在使用该工具评估青少年失眠问题时，应考虑AIS-8的两个因素的不同含义。
The eight‐item Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS‐8) is an instrument that has been used frequently to assess insomnia problems. Previous research on adults has found that the AIS‐8 functioned as a sole component. This study aimed to examine the prevalence rates of insomnia problems on the AIS‐8, the factor structure of the AIS‐8 in adolescents and its associations with demographic characteristics and depression in adolescents. A total of 8319 adolescent students (4334 girls and 3985 boys, mean age = 14.7 years, standard deviation = 1.7 years) in southern Taiwan were recruited into this study and completed the AIS‐8. We performed an exploratory factor analysis to examine the factor structure of the AIS‐8, and used the parallel analysis for making decisions regarding factor retention. We also used multiple regression analysis models to determine the associations between insomnia and demographic characteristics and depression. The results found that a high proportion of adolescents had insomnia problems as measured by the AIS‐8. The AIS‐8 was composed of two different factors when used among a large adolescent population, including insomnia symptoms (factor 1) and subjective sleep and daytime distress (factor 2). While being male, being younger, and having depression were associated positively with the severity of insomnia symptoms (factor 1), being older, living in urban areas, and having depression were associated positively with the severity of subjective sleep and daytime distress (factor 2). Clinicians and researchers should consider the different meanings of the two factors of the AIS‐8 when using this tool to assess insomnia problems in adolescents.
