Abstract

The risk factors related to quality of sleep in elderly adults, such as life-style events, physical illness, psychological factors, and gender have been well identified by several studies. However, information regarding the relationship between quality of sleep and its related factors among elderly Chinese immigrants is not available in recent sleep literature. The purposes of this study were to explore the quality of sleep and discover the relationships between sleep quality and its related factors among elderly Chinese immigrants people in the Seattle area. Pearson's correlation and descriptive statistics were used to analyze data. Eighty community-dwelling Chinese elderly people, aged from 66 to 93, were recruited from the Chinese Senior Day Care Center, local Chinese churches, elderly Chinese individuals' private homes, and Chinese retirement apartments within the Seattle area. Three questionnaires were utilized to collect data, and personal interviews were used to facilitate the subjects in completing the questionnaires. The findings of this study showed that (1) 55% (n = 44) of the participants were identified as poor sleepers and 45% (n = 36) as good sleepers. (2) depression and the number of current diseases experienced by the subjects were in statistically significant correlation with quality of sleep, with r = .477, p = .00 and r = .221, p = .049 respectively. (3) daytime napping did not affect nighttime sleep in this study' population. The findings of this study can provide information regarding sleep problems among elderly Chinese immigrants to improve the elderly's quality of sleep.

西雅图地区老年华人移民睡眠质量及其相关因素的关系
一些研究已经很好地确定了与老年人睡眠质量相关的风险因素,如生活方式事件、身体疾病、心理因素和性别。然而,关于中国老年移民的睡眠质量及其相关因素之间的关系,在最近的睡眠文献中没有得到相关信息。本研究旨在探讨西雅图地区中国老年移民的睡眠质量,并发现睡眠质量与其相关因素之间的关系。采用Pearson相关和描述性统计对数据进行分析。80名居住在社区的华人老年人,年龄在66岁至93岁之间,他们分别来自西雅图地区的华人老年日托中心、当地华人教堂、华人老年人私人住宅和华人退休公寓。采用三份问卷收集数据,并采用个人访谈的方式方便被试完成问卷。这项研究的结果表明:(1)55% (n = 44)的参与者被确定为睡眠不良,45% (n = 36)的参与者被确定为睡眠良好。(2)被试的抑郁程度、当前患病次数与睡眠质量的相关性分别为r = .477、p = .00和r = .221、p = .049,均有统计学意义。(3)在本研究人群中,白天午睡不影响夜间睡眠。本研究结果可为中国移民老年人的睡眠问题提供信息,以改善老年人的睡眠质量。
