1607 – Impaired subjective sleep quality in irritable bowel syndrome patients with a type D personality - 09/07/13
Résumé |
Introduction |
Type D (distressed) personality is defined as the co-occurrence of negative affect (NA) and social inhibition (SI).
Objectives |
Although many studies have analyzed the association of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and personality traits, the effect of Type D personality on sleep quality of patients with IBS has not been evaluated.
Aims |
We aimed to assess the prevalence of Type D personality in patients with and to investigate whether the presence of a Type D personality would affect subjective sleep quality in patients with IBS.
Methods |
Ninety-seven patients who met the Rome III criteria for IBS with no psychiatric comorbidity were consecutively enrolled, along with 39 healthy controls. Type D Scale, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale were used in the collection of data.
Results |
Of 97 patients evaluated, 45.4% met criteria for Type D personality. Thirty-five patients (36.1%) and 7 healthy volunteers (17.9%) were “poor” sleepers (p< 0.05). IBS patients with a Type D personality were found to score higher on sleep latency, sleep disturbance, and global sleep quality domains of PSQI than patients without a Type D personality. Poor sleeping was more prevalent among patients with a Type D personality than those without (50.0% vs 33.9%; p < 0.01). Linear regression analysis revealed a significant independent association of Type D personality with poor sleeping (r = 0.315; p < 0.01).
Conclusion |
Type D personality was associated with decreased perceived sleep quality in patients with IBS.
