Abstract

Introduction: The present study aimed to examine the psychometric properties of the Brief Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (B-PSQI) in a Turkish adult population.

Methods: The sample included 296 adults: 163 healthcare professionals at Silifke State Hospital (Sample 1) and 133 individuals applying for a health committee report (Sample 2).

Results: Confirmatory factor analyses confirmed the unidimensional structure of the B-PSQI in both samples. The B-PSQI scores were highly correlated with the PSQI scores in both samples, with r values of 0.905 and 0.925. The B-PSQI scores also demonstrated strong correlations with the Insomnia Severity Index scores in Sample 1 (r=0.774) and Sample 2 (r=0.762). Furthermore, B-PSQI scores were positively correlated with depressive and anxiety symptoms. The reliability of the scale was acceptable, with Cronbach's alpha and McDonald's omega values exceeding 0.70. A score of ≥4 on the B-PSQI provided the optimal balance between sensitivity (85.0% and 95.9%) and specificity (89.3% and 85.7%) for detecting individuals with poor sleep quality.

Conclusion: The current findings suggest that the B-PSQI is a valid and reliable instrument for assessing sleep quality among Turkish adults. Further research in diverse populations is warranted to corroborate these findings.

简要匹兹堡睡眠质量指数土耳其语版的效度和信度。

简介：本研究旨在检测土耳其成年人短暂匹兹堡睡眠质量指数（B-PSQI）的心理测量特性。方法：样本包括296名成人：163名Silifke州立医院的卫生保健专业人员（样本1）和133名申请卫生委员会报告的个人（样本2）。结果：验证性因子分析证实了两个样本中B-PSQI的单维结构。两个样本的B-PSQI评分与PSQI评分高度相关，r值分别为0.905和0.925。B-PSQI得分也与样本1 （r=0.774）和样本2 （r=0.762）的失眠严重程度指数得分有很强的相关性。此外，B-PSQI评分与抑郁和焦虑症状呈正相关。量表的信度可接受，Cronbach’s alpha和McDonald’s omega值均超过0.70。B-PSQI≥4分为检测睡眠质量差的个体提供了灵敏度（85.0%和95.9%）和特异性（89.3%和85.7%）之间的最佳平衡。结论：目前的研究结果表明，B-PSQI是评估土耳其成年人睡眠质量的有效和可靠的工具。有必要对不同人群进行进一步研究，以证实这些发现。
