目的:为比较有失眠症状的服刑人员和无失眠症状的服刑人员对日常生活活动、压力因素和影响其睡眠质量的原因的描述,随机选取有失眠症状的服刑人员102名和无失眠症状的服刑人员61名。前者报告在狱中写信、写日记或写书,以及从事绘画和听音乐等“艺术相关”活动的比例明显高于后者。与抱怨失眠的囚犯相比,非失眠囚犯在监狱中进行体育运动、看电视、讨论和会见其他囚犯的比例要高得多。PSQI和GHQ得分在失眠症患者和非失眠症患者之间存在显著差异。失眠的囚犯比非失眠的囚犯更经常抱怨睡眠障碍,首先是室友,但也有警卫。监狱活动和压力事件是与变量“失眠与无失眠”相关的重要因素,担心医疗问题(比值比:12.9)。分居或离婚(优势比:8.8),在过去一周内经历过压力事件(优势比:8.7)。“艺术”活动(优势比:8.6)和GHQ得分> 10(优势比:7.7)在测试的协变量中具有最高的优势比。没有体育在监狱和声音活动也预测失眠单独或conditioned.Conclusion:我们的研究提供了关于如何减轻失眠在监狱中的论点:改变监禁条件是公共卫生效益。增加在监狱中进行体育运动的机会,以及适当的医疗问题和心理支持,以减少与环境相关的压力,应定期向失眠囚犯提供,(C)2009爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
Objective: To compare how prisoners complaining of insomnia and prisoners without sleep problems describe their daily activities, stress factors and the perceived reasons for their sleep quality in prison.Method: 102 randomly chosen remanded prisoners complaining of insomnia and 61 randomly chosen prisoners who did not complain of insomnia.Results: Prisoners complaining of insomnia and those reporting good sleep differed significantly in their lifestyle in prison. A significantly higher percentage of the former than of the latter reported writing letters, diaries or a book in prison, as well as doing "arts-related" activities such as painting and listening to music. A significantly higher percentage of non insomniac prisoners than of prisoners complaining of insomnia practiced sports in prison, watched television, and spent their day discussing and meeting other detainees. PSQI and GHQ scores were significantly different between insomniac and non insomniac prisoners. Insomniac prisoners complained significantly more often than non-insomniac prisoners about sleep disturbances, in the first place by roommates, but also by guards. Activities in prison and stressful events were significant factors associated with the variable "insomnia versus no insomnia" Worries about medical problems (odds ratio: 12.9). being separated or divorced (odds ratio: 8.8), having experienced stressful events during the past week (odds ratio: 8.7). "art" activity (odds ratio: 8.6), and having a GHQ score> 10 (odds ratio: 7.7) had the highest odds ratios among the tested covariates. No sports in prison and sonic activities were also predictors of insomnia when entered separately or conditionally.Conclusion: Our study provides arguments on how to alleviate insomnia in prison: changing conditions of imprisonment is Of public health benefit. Increased opportunities to practice sports in prison as well as adequate care for medical problems and psychological support to reduce context related Stress Should be routinely offered to insomniac prisoners, (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd.
