Kim and Kim: The Path Model based on Senescent Sleep Model for Sleep in Community-dwelling Older Adults

Abstract

Purpose

This study was conducted to test the model for sleep in community-dwelling older adults. The hypothetical model basedonasenescent sleepmodel was constructedusingthemultipleinfluencingfactorsof sleep and associated adverse outcomes of changes in sleep in the older adults.

Methods

Data were collected from 203community-dwellingolderadultslivinginKorea, andanalyzedusingIBM SPSS21.0andAMOS21.0.

Results

Increased ageandmultiplecomorbidities wereassociatedwithdecreasedphysical activities. Decreasedphysical activities were associatedwithsmaller social networks, and smaller social networks were associatedwithhigher level of loneliness. Multiple comorbidities, decreased physical activities, larger social networks, and higher level of loneliness were associated with maladaptive sleep hygiene. Decreased physical activities, higher level loneliness, andshorter actual sleepdurationwere associated with worse sleepquality. Smaller social networks and shorter actual sleepdurationwereassociatedwithlower cognitivefunctions. Smallersocial networks, higher loneliness, andworse sleepqualitywere associatedwithmoreseveredepressivesymptoms.

Conclusion

These findings suggest that the sleepimprovement interventions not onlywithphysical perspectives but psychosocial ones for older adults may improve depressive symptoms as well as sleep quality.
