The overall reliability estimate for the SQS was 86.00 %, while the restoration after sleep subscale reliability was 93.00 %. The exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis showed that the original 6-factor model of the SQS is a more plausible model for this sample of community-based adults: comparative fit index &gt;0.92, Tucker-Lewis index &gt; 0.91, root mean square error of approximation ≤ 0.05.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><div>Our findings revealed that the SQS is promising for population-based assessment of SQ and may also assist in identifying sleep-related disorders and monitoring the efficacy of sleep treatment among indigenous Africans.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17369,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the National Medical Association","volume":"116 5","pages":"Pages 553-565"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142515783","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
