Abstract

Background: Patients with schizophrenia frequently experience issues such as poor sleep quality, anxiety, and depression. White sound has been identified as a potential therapeutic strategy to enhance sleep quality and alleviate negative emotions. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of white sound in improving sleep quality, anxiety, and depression among patients with schizophrenia.

Materials and methods: This retrospective analysis included clinical data from 212 patients with schizophrenia divided into two groups based on their treatment approach. Group C (control, without white sound, n = 106) received standard pharmacological treatments, while group W (white sound, n = 106) was exposed to white sound (40-50 dB) for 2 hours nightly at 9:00 pm. All patients were assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD), Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA), and Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) before and after 12 weeks of intervention.

Results: After 12 weeks, group W showed significant improvements in sleep latency, sleep efficiency, and overall PSQI scores compared to group C (P < 0.05). Furthermore, the HAMD and HAMA scores were significantly lower in group W (P < 0.05), indicating reduced levels of anxiety and depression. The negative symptoms score was significantly lower in group W (P < 0.05) after treatment.

Conclusion: White sound shows promise in improving sleep quality, and alleviating anxiety and depression in patients with schizophrenia.

白声对精神分裂症患者睡眠质量、焦虑和抑郁的影响

背景：精神分裂症患者经常会遇到睡眠质量差、焦虑和抑郁等问题：精神分裂症患者经常会遇到睡眠质量差、焦虑和抑郁等问题。白声被认为是提高睡眠质量和缓解负面情绪的一种潜在治疗策略。本研究旨在调查白声在改善精神分裂症患者睡眠质量、焦虑和抑郁方面的效果：这项回顾性分析包括 212 名精神分裂症患者的临床数据，根据治疗方法分为两组。C组（对照组，无白色声音，n=106）接受标准药物治疗，而W组（白色声音，n=106）每晚9:00接触白色声音（40-50 dB）2小时。所有患者在接受干预 12 周前和 12 周后都接受了匹兹堡睡眠质量指数（PSQI）、汉密尔顿抑郁量表（HAMD）、汉密尔顿焦虑量表（HAMA）和阳性与阴性综合征量表（PANSS）的评估：12 周后，与 C 组相比，W 组的睡眠潜伏期、睡眠效率和 PSQI 总分均有显著改善（P < 0.05）。此外，W 组的 HAMD 和 HAMA 分数明显降低（P < 0.05），表明焦虑和抑郁程度降低。治疗后，W 组的负面症状得分明显降低（P < 0.05）：白音有望改善睡眠质量，减轻精神分裂症患者的焦虑和抑郁。

期刊介绍： Noise and Health is the only International Journal devoted to research on all aspects of noise and its effects on human health. An inter-disciplinary journal for all professions concerned with auditory and non-auditory effects of occupational, environmental, and leisure noise. It aims to provide a forum for presentation of novel research material on a broad range of topics associated with noise pollution, its control and its detrimental effects on hearing and health. It will cover issues from basic experimental science through clinical evaluation and management, technical aspects of noise reduction systems and solutions to environmental issues relating to social and public health policy.
