Abstract:
Objective To explore the sleep problem and its related factors,and to provide evidence for improving sleep quality of patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Methods Pittsburgh sleeping quality index (PSQI),self-rating depression scale (SDS),self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and a self-designed questionnaire were applied to survey 318 patients with AS.Data were analyzed by the SPSS 17.0 software.The relationship between the various relevant factors were revealed by t-test,x2 test,Wilcoxon rank-sum test and Pearson correlation analysis.Results The mean total score of PSQI was 6.6±3.6, and 35.4％ of AS outpatients showed poor sleep quality.The difference of PSQI scores and detection rate of poor sleep quality between male and female were not statistically significant.There were significant difference of early morning stiffness(Z=-3.077,P=0.002),BASFI(Z=-4.766,P=0.000),BASDAI(Z=-6.880,P=0.000),nocturnal pain VAS(VAS)(Z=-6.502,P=0.000),total back pain VAS(Z=-6.675,P=0.000),ESR(Z=-2.370,P=0.018),CRP(Z=-2.063,P=0.039) between the poor sleep and the good sleep patients (P＜0.05).The PSQI score was positively correlated with age (r=0.165,P=0.003) but not gender and disease duration (r=0.078,P=0.165; r=0.094,P=0.097).PSQI score difference were also observed between patients with negative mood and patients without negative mood (t=-7.613,P=0.000; t=-7.287,P=0.000).Conclusion High incidence of sleep disorder exists among AS outpatients,and it is closely related with age,anxiety,depression and activity of AS.Attention should be paid to AS patients with sleep problems.
