Abstract
The purpose of this study were discussed with relationship between sleep quality of family caregivers and sleep disturbance of dementia, and explore the predictor in this relationship by using a cross-sectional correlation method. By random sampling, the sample population were selected from Xinyi, Daan, Zhongzheng, Datong and Songshan district healthy center in Taipei city and neurological outpatient department of Taiwan University Hospital. A total of 88 dyad dementia and their family caregivers were enrolled, excepted for living rotatory and in hiring relationship.Data was analysised by descriptive statistic , independent t test, one way ANOVA, Pearson’s product moment correlation and multiple regression.
The fowlling were main finding of the result:
1.There were 95% family caregivers whose sleep quality was poor. The average of CPQSI global score was 9.92+3.32, roughly corresponding to a rating of poor sleep quality.
2.In the last 2 weeks, there were 74% patiens with dementia which occurred at least one symptom of sleep disturbance. SID global score was 1.93+1.55. Most common sleep disturbance of patiens with dementia were sleeping excessively during the day, getting up at night and wandering ,pacing or getting inappropriate activities at night.
3.Mean caregiver distress of each of the seven component items were0.61+0.78, which corresponded with rating of minimally to mildly.
4.The sleep quality of family caregivers was significantly correlated with sleep disturbance of their dementia family and caregiver distress.The result showed family caregivers had poor sleep quality that associated with higher level sleep disturbance of dementia and family caregivers had more distress.
5.It was a finding that depression and education of family caregivers could explain 35% variation of sleep quality of family caregivers by hierarchical regression. And for control variables of caregiver property, sleep disturbance of patiens with dementia could explain 4% variation of sleep quality of family caregivers by hierarchical regression.
Based on the result of study , our suggestion were strategies that improved sleep quality of family caregivers and sleep disturbance of dementia, and gave the recommendation for research in the future.
