Abstract
Objectives: The proportion of individuals with insomnia is increasing, and many older adults have insomnia. This study aimed to explore the relationships between family functioning and quality of life (QOL) among community-dwelling older adults with insomnia, as well as to explore the mediating role of sleep quality in this relationship.
Methods: The participants were 225 older adults with insomnia from community health service centers in Chongqing, China. The Family Care Index (APGAR) was used to assess family functioning, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was used to assess sleep quality, and the 36-item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) was used to assess QOL.
Results: The results showed that family functioning would be positively associated with QOL (p = .005) and that this relationship would be partially mediated by higher sleep quality (p < .001).
Conclusions: Family functioning has a direct effect on QOL and an indirect effect on QOL through the regulation of sleep quality. Maintaining good family functioning is important for improving sleep quality and QOL in older adults with insomnia.
Clinical implications: Developing family functioning-based assessments and targeted intervention strategies could be beneficial for older adults with insomnia.
目的：失眠症患者的比例正在增加，许多老年人也患有失眠症。本研究旨在探讨社区失眠老年人的家庭功能与生活质量（QOL）之间的关系，以及睡眠质量在这一关系中的中介作用：研究对象为重庆市社区卫生服务中心的225名失眠老年人。方法：研究对象为来自重庆市社区卫生服务中心的225名失眠老年人，采用家庭照顾指数（APGAR）评估家庭功能，匹兹堡睡眠质量指数（PSQI）评估睡眠质量，36项短式健康调查（SF-36）评估生活质量：结果表明，家庭功能与 QOL 呈正相关（p = .005），这种关系部分由较高的睡眠质量中介（p 结论：家庭功能对 QOL 有直接影响：家庭功能对 QOL 有直接影响，并通过调节睡眠质量对 QOL 有间接影响。保持良好的家庭功能对于改善失眠老年人的睡眠质量和 QOL 非常重要：临床意义：制定基于家庭功能的评估和有针对性的干预策略对患有失眠症的老年人有益。
