ABSTRACT

El apoyo social es un importante factor protector de la salud de los adultos mayores (AM). Asimismo, un buen dormir es fundamental para su bienestar y funcionalidad, siendo las alteraciones del sueño un importante problema de salud pública en este grupo etario. El objetivo del estudio fue determinar la relación entre apoyo social percibido, insomnio y somnolencia diurna en AM residentes en Chillán, Chile. Se realizó un estudio cuantitativo, no experimental, correlacional, de corte transversal. Se aplicó la versión chilena de la Escala de Apoyo Social Percibido (MOS), el Índice de severidad del insomnio (ISI), y la Escala de somnolencia diurna de Epworth a AM pertenecientes a agrupaciones comunitarias. Se entrevistaron a 202 AM de ambos sexos, de edad 72,3±6,2 años. Se presentaron correlaciones positivas entre escolaridad y severidad del insomnio (p<0,05) y entre severidad del insomnio y somnolencia (p<0,001), además, se encontraron correlaciones negativas entre severidad del insomnio y apoyo social percibido, tanto en forma global como por dimensiones (p<0,05). La dimensión "Interacción social positiva" se correlacionó también de forma negativa con la somnolencia diurna. Los AM participantes del estudio que presentaron un alto nivel de apoyo social presentaron una menor prevalencia y severidad del insomnio


Social support is an important protective factor for the health of elderly (E).Likewise, good sleep is fundamental for their well-being and functionality, being sleep disorder an important public health problem in this age group. The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between perceived social support, insomnia and daytime sleepiness in elderly residents of Chillán, Chile. A quantitative, non-experimental, correlational, cross-sectional study was carried out. The Chilean version of the Perceived Social Support Scale (MOS), the Index of severity of insomnia (ISI) and the Daytime Sleepiness Scale of Epworth was applied to elderly belonging to community groups. Two hundred two elderly of both sexes were interviewed, age 72.3 ± 6.2 years. There were positive correlations between schooling and severity of insomnia (p <0.05) and between severity of insomnia and somnolence (p< 0.001). In addition, there were negative correlations between severity of insomnia and perceived social support, both globally and by dimensions (p <0.05). The dimension "Positive social interaction" also correlates negatively with daytime sleepiness. The elderly participants of the study who presented a high level of social support had a lower prevalence and severity of insomnia
