Abstract

The present study examined the psychometric properties of the Daily Sleep Diary (DSD), an instrument developed for monitoring sleep among chronic pain patients. As part of a comprehensive evaluation, 46 chronic pain patients completed the DSD each morning. Items assessed the number of hours slept, length of sleep onset, frequency of awakenings during the night that resulted in trouble falling back to sleep, early morning awakening, quality of sleep, lack of restfulness, and the previous night's sleep compared to usual sleep. Reliability coefficients were significant. The sleep diary items significantly correlated with other retrospective measures of sleep. Duration of pain complaint was related to delayed sleep onset and lower quality of sleep. Pain severity was related to fewer hours slept and delayed sleep onset. The DSD items correlated with measures of both depression and anxiety. The results emphasize the importance of including sleep in both assessment and treatment of chronic pain patients.

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.
