title: [Study on quality of sleep and mental health in patients with hyperthyroidism].
abstract: Sleep quality and psychical health were investigated with Pittsburgh Sleeping Quality Index (PSQI) and SCL-90 in 128 patients with hyperthyroidism. The results showed that: 1. The PSQI scores of the patients with ages over 35 years old were higher than that less than 35 years old (P < 0.05). 2. Sleep problems occurred in 87.55% of the patients. Sleep quality of 9.38% of patients were worse. The sleep quality of the female patients were better than the male (P < 0.05). 3. Apart from interpersonal sensitivity, paranoid ideation and psychoticism, scores of the rest were higher than the general people (P < 0.05). 10.2% of the patients with hyperthyroidism had psychical problems. 4. Apart from sleep time and using sleep pill, there was a high correlation between the scores of SCL-90 and PSQI (P < 0.05-P < 0.001). The results showed that sleep problems of the patients with hyperthyroidism affected their psychical health. Lower sleep quality was a main dangerous factor which affected psychical health of the patients with hyperthyroidism.
