ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the relationship between sleep disorder and management strategies in the elderly patients with primary hypertension.Methods The sleep status of 122 elderly patients with primary hypertension was evaluated by Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI) and Coping Style Questionnaire(CSQ).Results The mean score of PSQI was 8.34±3.81,and 63.93% (78/122) of the participants experienced sleep disorder.The most commonly used management strategy wag "problem-solving" (0.74±0.18) and "rationalization" (0.56±0.19).The management strategies were different by gender and age.The lowest score was found in the "ask-for-help" group(t=2.326,P=0.022),which was negatively related with sleep disorders (r=-0.208,P=0.022).Conclusions Intervention of management strategy in elderly patients with primary hypertension may help to improve their sleep quality.
