[Analysis of sleep quality of a prison police].

Abstract

Objective: To investigate the sleep quality of prison policemen and explore its influencing factors, so as to provide reference for improving the sleep quality of prison policemen. Methods: In August 2013, 177 policemen in a prison were selected by cluster sampling. The sleep quality of 177 prison policemen was investigated by Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index Scale and General Situation Questionnaire, and the influencing factors were analyzed. Results: The PSQI scores of 177 prison policemen were (7.47+3.80). There were significant differences between the PSQI scores of prison policemen and the normal adult norm (P<0.05). According to the standard of poor sleep quality, 84 prison policemen (47.46%) had poor sleep quality, and the prison policemen scored higher on daytime dysfunction, subjective sleep quality, sleeping time and sleeping time components. Single factor t test and single factor variance analysis showed that there were significant differences in sleep quality among prison policemen in gender, age, educational level and job classification (P <0.05). The results of multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that gender, age and job classification entered the regression equation with PSQI total score as dependent variable (β=0.167, 0.270, 0.222) . Conclusion: The sleep quality of prison policemen is worse than that of normal adults, and is affected by gender, age, job classification and other factors, which should be paid attention to by prison administrators.
