Effects of Combined Profiles Derived from Sleep Quality and Disorders on Non-suicidal Self-injury (NSSI) Behaviors
Journal Title: Journal of Turkish Sleep Medicine - Year 2020, Vol 7, Issue 3
Abstract
Objective: The current study aims to evaluate the effects of combined profiles derived from sleep quality and disorders on non-suicidal selfinjury (NSSI). Materials and Methods: The statistical population of this cross-sectional study included all the students at Razi University of Kermanshah City (Western Iran) during 2018. Among these students, 1104 participants (63.9% female) of 18-35 years old were selected and responded to the questionnaires of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality index, Insomnia Severity index, Berlin Questionnaire, and Inventory of Statements about Selfinjury. Results: The results of the analysis show that the selected sample constitutes four clusters. There is a significant difference between the clusters with regards to NSSI. That is, these behaviors are more prevalent in the cluster with a higher number of sleep difficulties. On the other hand, the members of the healthy cluster have a more scarce history of such behaviors. The data were analyzed using the k-means cluster analyses and ANOVA. Conclusion: Based on the results of the current study, it can be concluded that variables such as sleep quality, the intensity of insomnia, and sleep apnea play a significant role in the development of NSSI behaviors. In fact, sleep difficulties are a risk factor for NSSI behaviors.
