The sleep patterns and their associations with mental health among nursing home residents: a latent profile approach.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Nursing home residents commonly experience poor sleep conditions. However, few studies have explored the potential sleep patterns among nursing home residents. This study aimed to identify the sleep patterns in nursing home residents, compare residents' characteristics across sleep patterns, and examine the relationships between sleep patterns and residents' mental health (i.e., depressive and anxiety symptoms).

Methods

This cross-sectional study was conducted in 27 nursing homes in Jinan, China, from March to June 2018. In total, 353 participants were recruited via convenience sampling, and of which, 326 completed the survey. A latent profile analysis was performed to identify sleep patterns based on the seven dimensions of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Biv
