The instruments<br>consisted of five questionnaires; 1) the demographic data form, 2) the Thai version of the<br>Pittsburgh sleep quality index (T-PSQI), 3) the sleep hygiene index, 4) the Thai geriatric<br>depression scale (TGDS) 5) the mini-mental state examination: Thai version (MMSE-Thai<br>2002). The prevalence of good and poor sleep quality were presented by frequency<br>and percentage. The associated factors of sleep quality were analyzed by chi-square<br>test. The predictors of sleep quality were analyzed by logistic regression analysis.<br>Results : Among 254 participants with the mean age of 77.11±7.29 years old, 66.5% of<br>them were female. The prevalence of poor sleep quality was 52.0%. The mean sleep<br>duration and sleep latency were 6.09 hours per night and 28.35 minutes, respectively.<br>The mean sleep efficiency was 84.40 %, and approximately two thirds had high level of<br>good sleep hygiene practices. The associated factors of sleep quality were depression,<br>medical illness, sufficiency of income, and physical exercise. The predictors of poor<br>sleep quality were depression (p < 0.01) and medical illness (p<0.05).<br>Conclusion : The prevalence of poor sleep quality in the elderly at Pracha Niwet<br>village was 52.0%. The associated factors and predictors of the poor sleep quality were<br>depression and medical illness. Evaluation of sleep quality may aid in the screening of<br>depression and physical health problems.</p>}, number={2}, journal={Journal of the Psychiatric Association of Thailand}, author={ชินวรารักษ์ โชติมันต์ and ตั้งวงษ์ไชย สุขเจริญ and ดำรงค์พิวัฒน์ นัฏศรา}, year={2018}, month={Jun.}, pages={199–210} }
