Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between sleep quality and quality of life (QOL), or overall level of well-being, in caregivers of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) on the daily level.

Method: This study utilizes mobile ecological momentary assessment (mEMA) to capture daily experiences of caregivers of children with ASD over a period of 14 days. Utilizing mEMA, this study examines relations between sleep quality and QOL and the role of mood and physical health as mediators on the daily level, specifically for caregivers of children with ASD (n = 51). The data were analyzed using multilevel modeling by MLMed macro.

Results: The results suggest that there is a significant positive relation between sleep quality and QOL across individuals. Surprisingly, there was a negative relation between sleep quality and QOL within individuals. The positive relationship between sleep quality and QOL across participants was explained through positive mood across individuals. Furthermore, this relationship also occurred through better physical health across and within individuals.

Conclusion: For caregivers of children with ASD, daily positive mood and better physical health explain the relationship between daily sleep quality and QOL. Understanding daily experiences of caregivers of children with ASD may inform interventions and practices aimed at improving sleep and its associated outcomes to ultimately improve caregiver well-being.

一日之计在于晨？调查自闭症儿童照顾者的睡眠质量与生活质量之间的关系。

研究目的本研究旨在调查自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）儿童照顾者的日常睡眠质量与生活质量（QOL）或整体幸福感之间的关系：本研究利用移动生态瞬间评估（mEMA）捕捉自闭症谱系障碍儿童照顾者在 14 天内的日常体验。本研究利用移动生态瞬间评估（mEMA）研究睡眠质量与 QOL 之间的关系，以及情绪和身体健康在日常层面上的中介作用，特别是针对 ASD 儿童的照顾者（n = 51）。数据通过 MLMed 宏进行多层次建模分析：结果表明，不同个体的睡眠质量和 QOL 之间存在显著的正相关关系。令人惊讶的是，在个体内部，睡眠质量与 QOL 之间存在负相关。不同参与者的睡眠质量和 QOL 之间的正相关关系是通过不同个体的积极情绪来解释的。此外，这种关系也是通过改善个体间和个体内的身体健康而产生的：结论：对于 ASD 儿童的照顾者来说，日常的积极情绪和更好的身体健康可以解释日常睡眠质量与 QOL 之间的关系。了解自闭症儿童护理者的日常经历可为旨在改善睡眠及其相关结果的干预措施和实践提供信息，从而最终改善护理者的福祉。
