作者使用结构方程模型来研究护理人员（n = 175）和非护理人员对照参与者（n = 169）的负面影响，社会支持和睡眠质量的感知之间的关联。作者假设，照顾者的地位将直接关系到睡眠质量，也间接通过负面影响和社会支持的方式。这一假设得到了部分支持，因为研究发现睡眠与睡眠质量间接相关。然而，在考虑了负面情绪和社会支持的间接影响后，睡眠质量的直接影响不再具有统计学意义。结构模型解释了大约43%的睡眠质量方差。目前的研究结果可能是有用的成功的睡眠干预护理人员的发展。
The authors used structural equation modeling to examine associations among perceptions of negative affect, social support, and quality of sleep in a sample of caregivers (n = 175) and noncaregiver control participants (n = 169). The authors hypothesized that caregiver status would be related to sleep quality directly and also indirectly by way of negative affect and social support. This hypothesis was partially supported in that caregiving was found to be indirectly related to sleep quality. However, after accounting for the indirect effects of negative affect and social support, the direct effect of caregiving on sleep quality was no longer statistically significant. The structural model accounted for approximately 43% of the variance in sleep quality. The present findings may be useful in the development of successful sleep interventions for caregivers.
