Abstract

To test the factorial structure of the Italian version of the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) using a confirmatory approach and to assess its psychometric properties. ISI questionnaire was completed by 272 patients (average age 41.28, range 18-73) with insomnia diagnosis performed by a sleep medicine physician and retrospectively enrolled in the study. All patients underwent Cognitive Behavioral Treatment for Insomnia (CBT-I) and completed sleep diaries before starting the treatment. Data from sleep diaries were analyzed for assessing concurrent validity of the ISI. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) for ordinal Likert-type items was applied to compare four competing models proposed in the literature. 244 patients, out of the 272, completed the ISI at the end of CBT-I. A comparison of ISI score before and after treatment was performed. The CFA analysis confirmed the presence of three main factors conceptualized as severity and impact of the disease along with sleep satisfaction. Significant correlations of the first three items of the questionnaire, investigating three different subtypes of insomnia, and the subjective measures from the sleep diaries were found, thus supporting the concurrent validity of the test. Sleep efficiency (SE) had a significant inverse correlation with the severity and satisfaction factors and with ISI's total score. After CBT-I treatment, a significant reduction of ISI's scores was observed, thus confirming the effectiveness of the CBT-I treatment. The internal reliability coefficient was 0.75. The ISI questionnaire maintains good psychometric properties in the Italian version, thus confirming that this instrument is reliable for detecting insomnia severity and identifying patients' symptoms.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
