Abstract
Objectives: Sleep disorder is a growing public health concern that requires attentive assessment and treatment. However, the length of assessment tools for sleep disorders, including insomnia, hinders their use in both research and clinical settings. Brief assessment measures expedite assessment time, reducing respondent burden, and save resources, especially in resource-limited settings.
Methods: This study investigated the validity and reliability of a short three-item insomnia scale, the Insomnia Severity Index-3 (ISI-3) and established two cutoff scores in a sample of 238 healthcare providers in Oman (45.8% physicians and 54.2% nurses).
Results: The ISI-3 demonstrated good convergent and divergent validity. The receiver operator characteristic recommended two cutoff scores of > 4 (a sensitivity of 0.87.3 and a specificity of 0.96.4) and > 6 (a sensitivity of 0.96.9 and a specificity of 0.97.1).
Conclusions: The ISI-3 is a good assessment index of insomnia, especially when the utilization of the full insomnia index is unfeasible.
期刊介绍:
Behavioral Sleep Medicine addresses behavioral dimensions of normal and abnormal sleep mechanisms and the prevention, assessment, and treatment of sleep disorders and associated behavioral and emotional problems. Standards for interventions acceptable to this journal are guided by established principles of behavior change. Intending to serve as the intellectual home for the application of behavioral/cognitive science to the study of normal and disordered sleep, the journal paints a broad stroke across the behavioral sleep medicine landscape. Its content includes scholarly investigation of such areas as normal sleep experience, insomnia, the relation of daytime functioning to sleep, parasomnias, circadian rhythm disorders, treatment adherence, pediatrics, and geriatrics. Multidisciplinary approaches are particularly welcome. The journal’ domain encompasses human basic, applied, and clinical outcome research. Behavioral Sleep Medicine also embraces methodological diversity, spanning innovative case studies, quasi-experimentation, randomized trials, epidemiology, and critical reviews.
