Effects of Emotional Stability on Insomnia through Anxiety in Patients with Cataracts

Abstract

This study investigated the effect of emotional stability (ES) on insomnia through anxiety in preoperative patients with cataracts. Fifty-four subjects completed a self-questionnaire that included the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), the International Personality Item Pool (IPIP) for ES, and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale (HADS). Pathway analysis was performed to analyze the mediating effects of ES, the anxiety subscale scores of the HADS, and the ISI scores. The low-ES group exhibited an insomnia severity that was significantly higher than that of the high-ES group (p=0.048). According to the pathway analysis, the significant indirect effect of ES on the ISI scores was mediated by the scores on the anxiety subscale of the HADS. Cataract patients with low ES waiting to undergo surgery have a high risk of experiencing insomnia due to anxiety. Before surgery, it is essential to identify patients’ personality characteristics and provide appropriate intervention.

Effect of Patient Centered Care on Anxiety and Quality of Sleep among Patients with Cataract Surgery

“…Sociodemographic characteristics of the studied sample: Regarding to age, the present study showed that, the age of the studied groups were ranged between (49-65 years old) and the mean age of the study group was 57.30±5.11 and control group was 58.16±4.97. This finding was consistent with the study done (Ahn, et al, 2019) who stated that the mean age of studied groups was 62.6±10.7 years. Also this finding was in line with (Chawla & Benbadis, 2022) who reported that the age of most of the studied sample was ranged between ranged between 23-65 years old.…”

The Influence of Reducing Clinical Practicum Anxiety on Nursing Professional Employment in Nursing Students with Low Emotional Stability

“…In this study, we found that low emotional stability was the influencing factor on the BAI score and was consistent with Akram et al [ 15 ], Ahn et al [ 16 ], and Ahmed et al [ 17 ].…”

“…Anxiety was a mediator of emotional stability. Ahn et al [ 16 ] studied the relationship and said that low emotional stability would affect sleep and was mediated by anxiety. Ahmed et al [ 17 ] outlined that anxiety was not significantly related to gender and age, but was negatively and significantly correlated to emotional stability.…”

Anxiety and depression mediate the relationship between insomnia symptoms and the personality traits of conscientiousness and emotional stability

“…With that in mind, research has evidenced the relationship between particular personality traits (i.e. Perfectionism, emotional stability) and insomnia symptoms to be mediated by anxiety and depression (Ahn et al., 2019; Akram et al., 2017; Batterham et al., 2012; Jansson-Fröjmark and Linton, 2007).…”
