Abstract

Objectives: A growing body of work documents a link between indices of social connectedness and sleep health. Sleep is implicated in the chronic health conditions which disproportionately affect American Indian adults, however the relationship between social connectedness and sleep health is largely understudied in this population. The current project investigates relationships between multiple indices of social connectedness and sleep health in a sample of American Indian adults.

Methods: In a sample of 275 American Indian adults residing in the Blackfeet Nation in Montana, we investigated links between social networks, loneliness, existential isolation (i.e., feeling alone in one's experiences) and sleep health. We used one linear regression model controlling for demographics and symptoms of anxiety and depression to investigate the relationship between measures of social connectedness and sleep health.

Results: Existential isolation was the only statistically significant predictors of sleep health, with higher existential isolation relating to worse sleep health.

Conclusion: Existential isolation may be a particularly important measure of social connectedness in American Indian adults. More research is needed to understand precursors of existential isolation and the mechanisms contributing to the relationship between existential isolation and sleep health in Blackfeet American Indian adults.

Blackfeet 美洲印第安成年人的社会联系和睡眠。

目的：越来越多的研究记录了社会联系指数与睡眠健康之间的联系。睡眠与美国印第安成年人的慢性健康状况密切相关，而这些慢性健康状况对美国印第安成年人的影响尤为严重。本项目以美国印第安成年人为样本，调查了社会联系性的多个指数与睡眠健康之间的关系：方法：我们以居住在蒙大拿州布莱克菲特部落的 275 名美国印第安成年人为样本，调查了社交网络、孤独感、存在孤独感（即在经历中感到孤独）与睡眠健康之间的关系。我们使用一个线性回归模型来研究社会联系与睡眠健康之间的关系，该模型对人口统计学、焦虑和抑郁症状进行了控制：结果：存在孤独感是唯一在统计学上对睡眠健康有显著影响的预测因素，存在孤独感越高，睡眠健康状况越差：结论：对于美国印第安成年人来说，存在孤独感可能是衡量社会联系的一个特别重要的指标。需要进行更多的研究，以了解黑脚美洲印第安成年人存在孤独感的前兆以及导致存在孤独感与睡眠健康之间关系的机制。
