ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
This study aimed to investigate how sleep quality affects quality of life in the elderly of rural communities.METHODS:
877 elderly people aged 60 or over living in C towns participated in the study. They responded to the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, EuroQol-5 dimension, Korean version of the short from of Geriatric Depression Scale, Mini-Mental State Examination for Dementia Screening and the presence of urinary incontinence.RESULTS:
Most scores of the items of the quality of life index, except self-management, showed significant correlations with the total score of the sleep quality test. Statistically significant differences were found between the positives and the negatives of the sleep quality test in the scores of all the detailed items of the quality of life index. Among the detailed items of quality of sleep, subjective quality of sleep showed the highest correlation.CONCLUSION:
The present study found that the subjective indicators such as subjective sleep quality and sleep disturbance affected quality of life in the rural lives of elderly people more than the objective indicators such as sleep durations or sleep latency periods. Based on the results of these studies, we concluded that a methodological approach and a management model to treating insomnia to improve the quality of life of the elderly would need to be developed and applied.
