本探索性研究比较了照顾者和非照顾者睡眠障碍女性的客观睡眠模式和睡眠相关因素，并比较了照顾者和被照顾者的睡眠模式。9名照顾成年痴呆症患者的女性和34名不照顾患者的女性作为比较样本，提供了三晚的在家多导睡眠描记仪（PSG）和睡眠质量、身体和情绪健康自我报告问卷。在照护者多导睡眠监测的同一天晚上，用活动记录仪监测被照护者的睡眠。照顾者和非照顾者的睡眠模式在大多数psg测量参数中相似。照顾者感受到更多的睡眠障碍，但与非照顾者相比，PSG显示的差异很小。照顾者报告了更多的抑郁症状，抑郁与较长的睡眠潜伏期密切相关。照顾者的睡眠时间与被照顾者的睡眠时间高度相关。结果表明，在这个样本中，照顾者的睡眠与非照顾者的女性没有显著差异，尽管在认知上存在差异。虽然样本很小，但这项探索性研究支持使用多个晚上的家庭PSG来评估照顾者的睡眠，并提供更多关于女性痴呆症照顾者及其亲属睡眠模式的数据。
This exploratory study compared objective sleep patterns and sleep-related factors between caregiving and non-caregiving women with sleep impairments, and compared the sleep patterns of the caregivers with their care recipients. Nine women caring for adults with dementia and a comparison sample of 34 non-caregiving women provided three nights of in-home polysomnography (PSG) and self-report questionnaires of sleep quality and physical and emotional well-being. Care recipients' sleep was monitored with actigraphy on the same nights of the caregivers' PSG. Caregivers and non-caregivers' sleep patterns were similar across most PSG-measured parameters. Caregivers perceived more sleep disturbances, but PSG showed minimal differences compared to non-caregivers. Caregivers reported more depressive symptoms, and depression was strongly correlated with longer sleep latency. Caregiver's sleep quantity was highly correlated with the sleep quantity of their care recipient. The results suggest that, in this sample, caregivers' sleep was not significantly different from the non-caregiving women, despite differences in perceptions. Although the sample is small, this exploratory study supports the use of multiple nights of in-home PSG to assess caregiver sleep and provides more data on sleep patterns of female dementia caregivers and their relatives.
