Abstract

The present online retrospective study aimed at evaluating the perceived sleep quality before the start of the lockdown measures and during the lockdown in a sample of Italian university students ( N = 307). Participants were administered the Italian translation of the Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), and the Personality Inventory for DSM-5 36-item version (PID-5-36) in order to assess the relationships between sleep, dysfunctional personality domains and internalizing symptomatology. Latent difference factor (LDF) model was used to estimate latent change in PSQI scores; all analyses on the relationships between the PSQI and the dysfunctional personality domain measures and internalizing symptoms were carried out using latent factor scores. Our findings showed that selected dysfunctional personality traits were significantly associated with changes in perceived quality of sleep among adult university students during the lockdown in Italy. The relationship between PID-5-36 Negative Affectivity and changes in the perceived quality of sleep was only partially mediated by the severity of self-reported depression. The assessment of perceived depressive symptom severity and Negative Affectivity may prove clinically useful for carrying out preventive interventions on sleep quality.

意大利大学生感知睡眠质量与新冠肺炎隔离措施相关的潜在变化：理解个性和内在症状的作用

本在线回顾性研究旨在评估意大利大学生在封锁措施开始前和封锁期间的感知睡眠质量(N = 307)。研究人员对被试进行了匹兹堡睡眠质量指数(PSQI)、贝克抑郁量表(BDI)、贝克焦虑量表(BAI)和DSM-5 36项人格量表(PID-5-36)的意大利语翻译，以评估睡眠、功能障碍人格域和内化症状之间的关系。使用潜在差异因子(LDF)模型估计PSQI评分的潜在变化;所有关于PSQI与功能障碍人格域测量和内化症状之间关系的分析均采用潜在因素评分进行。我们的研究结果表明，在意大利封锁期间，某些功能失调的人格特征与成年大学生感知睡眠质量的变化显著相关。PID-5-36负性情感与感知睡眠质量变化之间的关系仅部分被自我报告的抑郁严重程度介导。感知抑郁症状严重程度和消极情绪的评估可能被证明在临床上对睡眠质量进行预防性干预是有用的。
