The mediating effect of loneliness on the relationship between alexithymia and sleep quality in patients with atrial fibrillation
-
摘要:
目的 探讨述情障碍对心房颤动患者睡眠质量的影响,以及孤独感在其间的中介作用,以期为心房颤动患者的睡眠管理提供参考。 方法 采用便利抽样法,选取2024年1—9月在南京医科大学第一附属医院就诊的300例心房颤动患者作为研究对象。使用一般资料调查表、多伦多述情障碍量表(TAS-20)、6条目孤独感量表(ULS-6)和匹兹堡睡眠质量量表(PSQI)进行问卷调查。运用PROCESS宏程序,Bootstrap方法进行中介效应分析。 结果 心房颤动患者睡眠质量较差[7.00(5.00, 11.00)分]、处于述情障碍临界状态[55.00(48.00, 61.00)分]和轻度孤独感水平[13.00(12.00, 15.00)分],年龄较大、文化程度较低患者睡眠质量较差。中介效应分析显示,总效应值为0.076,述情障碍对睡眠质量有直接负面影响(effect=0.051),孤独感部分介导述情障碍对睡眠质量的影响(effect=0.025),以上结果均有统计学意义(P<0.05)。 结论 述情障碍直接影响心房颤动患者的睡眠质量,孤独感在述情障碍与睡眠质量之间起到部分中介作用,提示在针对心房颤动患者述情障碍临床干预的同时还应考虑如何减轻患者孤独感,促进睡眠质量的提升。 Abstract:Objective To explore the impact of alexithymia on the sleep quality of patients with atrial fibrillation and the mediating role of loneliness in it, with the hope of providing a reference for the sleep management of patients with atrial fibrillation. Methods This study employed a convenience sampling method, selecting 300 patients with atrial fibrillation who visited the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from January to September 2024. A general information questionnaire, the Toronto alexithymia scale-20 (TAS-20), the 6-item loneliness scale (ULS-6), and the Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) were used for assessment. The PROCESS macro program and the Bootstrap method were utilized for mediating effect analysis. Results The study found that patients with atrial fibrillation had poor sleep quality [7.00 (5.00, 11.00) points], were at the borderline level of alexithymia [55.00 (48.00, 61.00) points], and had a mild level of loneliness [13.00 (12.00, 15.00) points]. Patients who were older or of a lower education level had poorer sleep quality. Mediation effect analysis showed that the total effect size was 0.076, with alexithymia having a direct negative impact on sleep quality (effect=0.051), and loneliness partially mediating the impact of alexithymia on sleep quality (effect=0.025). All results were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion Alexithymia is a direct risk factor for sleep quality in patients with atrial fibrillation, and loneliness plays a partial mediating role between alexithymia and sleep quality. Therefore, clinical interventions for patients with atrial fibrillation and alexithymia should consider reducing loneliness to effectively improve sleep quality. -
