Abstract:
Objective:To explore the correlation between post-traumatic growth (PTG) and sleep quality among parents of children with epilepsy.
Methods:In this cross-sectional study, 191 parents of children with epilepsy were selected from Shangdong Province Third Hospital by convenience sampling method, the questionnaire included socio-demographic questionnaire, the Post-Traumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI).
Results:The score of PTGI and PSQI of parents of children with epilepsy were (28.63±10.85) and (5.97±3.72), respectively. The score of PTGI and PSQI in parents' health status with health, general, worse was (29.44±10.66), (25.28±11.26), (19.00±7.81) and (5.57±3.51), (7.23±3.53), (15.00±1.73), the difference was significant (F=3.07, 12.69, P<0.05 or 0.01). The score of PSQI in parents with or without major negative events was (8.50±4.16), (5.67±3.57), the difference was significant (t=-3.12, P<0.01). There was a negative correlation between PTGI and PSQI among parents of children with epilepsy (r=-0.159, P<0.05). Hierarchical regression analysis showed that there was a significant positive correlation between the dimension of PTG appreciation life and the sleep quality of parents (B=0.455, P<0.01).
Conclusions:Parents with epilepsy have normal sleep quality, but at the same time have a certain level of PTG, and the level of PTG appreciated by parents is related to their sleep quality. Therefore, by promoting parents with epilepsy to actively appreciate life, it helps to alleviate their sleep problems.
