Abstract

Glavni cilj ovog istraživanja bio je utvrditi kvalitetu spavanja osoba starije životne dobi. Također, htjeli smo provjeriti razlikuje li se kvaliteta spavanja starijih s obzirom na sociodemografske čimbenike spola i bračnog stanja te utvrditi potencijalnu prediktorsku ulogu psihosocijalnih varijabli zadovoljstva životom, socijalne participacije i samoprocjenjenog zdravlja u kvaliteti spavanja osoba starije životne dobi. Istraživanje je provedeno na uzorku od 162 sudionika starije životne dobi koji žive u svom domu. Za procjenu kvalitete spavanja korišten je hrvatski prijevod Pittsburgh indeksa kvalitete spavanja, zadovoljstvo životom ispitano je ljestvicom koja procjenjuje globalno zadovoljstvo u 8 različitih aspekata života, socijalna participacija je ispitana ljestvicom učestalosti sudjelovanja u različitim socijalnim aktivnostima, a samoprocjena zdravlja ispitana je ljestvicom samoprocjene zdravlja. Rezultati istraživanja djelomično potvrđuju naše hipoteze. Rezultati su pokazali da starije osobe prosječno imaju lošu kvalitetu spavanja. Nadalje, nije nađena statistički značajna razlika kvalitete spavanja između žena i muškaraca, kao ni između samaca i osoba u braku. Provedbom multiple linearne regresijske analize dobiveno je da sve mjerene psihosocijalne varijable predviđaju 17,6% varijable kvalitete spavanja. Od promatranih psihosocijalnih varijabli, samoprocjenjeno zdravlje se pokazalo kao jedini statistički značajan prediktor, tako da su sudionici koji su svoje zdravlje procijenili lošijim, iskazali i lošiju kvalitetu spavanja.

Abstract (english)

The aim of this study was to determine the sleep quality in older adults. Furthermore, we wanted to examine whether sleep quality in elderly differs regarding sociodemographic factors of sex and marital status, as well as determine a potential predictive role of psychosocial variables such as self-rated health, life satisfaction, social participation on sleep quality in the elderly. The study was conducted on a sample of 162 older participants who live in their homes. The Croatian translation of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index was used for the assessment of sleep quality, self-rated health was measured using a self-rating health scale, life satisfaction was measured using a scale for global satisfaction in 8 different life aspects, social participation was tested with a scale measuring the participation frequency within different social activities. The results partially confirm our hypotheses. It was found that on average older adults have poor sleep quality. Further on, no statistically significant difference was found in sleep quality between females and males, nor between singles and married participants. Multiple linear regression analysis indicated that all of the measured psychosocial variables predict 17,6% of the variable quality of sleep. Self-rated health was determined to be the only statistically significant predictor among the measured psychosocial variables, so that participants who rated their health poorer also showed poorer sleep quality.
