摘要
Objective: To understand treatment preferences and help-seeking behaviors among psychiatric patients for their sleep problems, and to examine determinants of problem recognition and help-seeking among patients with sleep difficulties. Method: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among psychiatric outpatients in Singapore (n = 400). Participants completed questionnaires that assessed their sleep quality, daytime fatigue, help-seeking behavior, treatment preferences for sleep problems, and sociodemographic information. Multiple logistic regressions were used to identify correlates of patients who recognized their sleep difficulties and of those who had sought help. Results: Mental health professionals were the most preferred choice (60.8%) for consultation on sleep problems. Among patients with poor sleep quality (n = 275), 28.4% denied having any problems and 38.9% had not sought help. Patients with chronic physical comorbidity were less likely to recognize their sleep problems (OR = 0.432, p-value=0.009), while those with psychiatric comorbidity were twice as likely to perceive the problems (OR=2.094, p-value=0.021) and to seek help (OR = 1.957, p-value = 0.022). Daytime fatigue was associated with higher odds of problem recognition (OR = 1.106, p-value = 0.001) and help-seeking (OR = 1.064, p-value = 0.016). Conclusion: A considerable number of patients did not perceive their poor sleep as an issue and had not sought help for it. General sleep hygiene education is needed for psychiatric patients.
