Sleep, arousal and health‐related quality of life in men and women with coronary artery disease

Abstract

Insomnia because of hyperarousal behaviour can be an important factor in the development of an individual self-care management programme supported by a healthcare team.

Evaluation of an individualised programme to promote self‐care in sleep‐activity in patients with coronary artery disease – a randomised intervention study

“…, Edéll‐Gustafsson ) and tested for internal consistency by Cronbach's α (Johansson et al . ) and was satisfactory. In this study, Cronbach's α for the USI scale was 0·76 at baseline and 0·87 at follow‐up for items coding at similar direction.…”

“…Compared with the general population, poor sleep quality is common in patients with CAD (Johansson et al . ). Total nocturnal sleep duration is an important determinant factor for recovery and waking functionality (Jay et al .…”

“…Recent scientific findings show that low physical exercise and stress interfere with CAD patients' sleep quality and sleep efficiency (SE%) independent of gender, age and co‐morbidity (Johansson et al . ).…”

Differences in health‐related quality of life by sleep duration and subjective oral health in Korean adults with coronary artery disease

“…Previous studies have reported that sleep duration influenced the quality of life of only female patients with CAD and that poor quality of sleep leads to decreased quality of life in both men and women (Johansson et al, ). Another study partially supported the results of our study by indicating that quality of sleep influences quality of life among patients with various heart diseases (Johansson et al, ; Lee, ). Our results are possibly explained by the fact that there are individual differences in adequate sleep duration; for some, a shorter sleep duration would not negatively influence quality of life if it had no impact on individuals' physical and mental lives.…”

Use of Music in the Treatment of Insomnia

“…23 Male and female patients with coronary artery disease frequently report sleep problems. 24 Many patients with lung cancer have reported poor quality of sleep and longer sleep latency. 25 Extensive research has indicated that veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder have increased sleep disturbance or poor sleep quality.…”
