Lee: Factors Influencing Sleep in People with Alcoholism

Abstract

Purpose

This study was conducted to identify factors which predict sleep in people who have alcoholism.

Methods

Data were collected from 171 people with alcoholism who live in Daegu, Kyungpook Province, in Korea. The collected data were analyzed using frequency, percentage, correlation and stepwise multiple regression analysis.

Results

Positive correlations between sleep disturbance and state, trait, and total anger were identified. Anger and insomnia experience before problematic drinking were identified as determinants of sleep disturbance which explained 15.9% of total variance of insomnia.

Conclusion

The findings provide empirical evidence to help nurses prepare effective interventions to improve quality of sleep, in people who have alcoholism.
