Social support and isolation in narcolepsy and idiopathic hypersomnia: An international survey
Objective
To evaluate factors associated with feeling supported in adjusting to life when diagnosed with narcolepsy or idiopathic hypersomnia.
Methods
An online survey was disseminated by nonprofit organization Project Sleep via email and social networks. Intended recipients were adults (≥18 years old) diagnosed with narcolepsy or idiopathic hypersomnia. Multivariable regression was used to assess predictors of feeling supported in adjusting to life with these conditions.
Results
The survey was completed by 1308 individuals (narcolepsy type 1, 48.4 %; narcolepsy type 2, 28.7 %; idiopathic hypersomnia, 22.9 %). Overall, 68.7 % of respondents were ≤40 years of age; 87.7 % were female; and 88.8 % were White. Respondents lived in 38 different countries (65.5 % in the United States). At time of diagnosis, most (91.1 %) did not know anyone with the same diagnosis. At time of the survey, 486 respondents (37.2 %) still did not know anyone with their diagnosis. Only 32.3 % of respondents felt supported in adjusting to life with narcolepsy or idiopathic hypersomnia. Knowing someone with the same diagnosis at the time of the survey was a significant predictor of perceived support. Younger age (18–30 years) and being married were also associated with greater perceived support, whereas a diagnosis of narcolepsy type 2 or idiopathic hypersomnia (versus narcolepsy type 1) and living outside the US were associated with less perceived support.
Conclusions
People with narcolepsy or idiopathic hypersomnia often do not know others living with the same condition, even though this is associated with feeling supported. Clinicians should assess for social support and assist with resource identification.
期刊介绍:
Sleep Medicine aims to be a journal no one involved in clinical sleep medicine can do without.
A journal primarily focussing on the human aspects of sleep, integrating the various disciplines that are involved in sleep medicine: neurology, clinical neurophysiology, internal medicine (particularly pulmonology and cardiology), psychology, psychiatry, sleep technology, pediatrics, neurosurgery, otorhinolaryngology, and dentistry.
The journal publishes the following types of articles: Reviews (also intended as a way to bridge the gap between basic sleep research and clinical relevance); Original Research Articles; Full-length articles; Brief communications; Controversies; Case reports; Letters to the Editor; Journal search and commentaries; Book reviews; Meeting announcements; Listing of relevant organisations plus web sites.
