Sleep disturbance as a mediator of the relationship between perceived stress and demoralization in hemodialysis patients: a structural equation modeling analysis by Yansheng Ye, Jing Zhang, Yane Sun, Jianqing Xu, Qian Xu, Chengrong Song

“…Many studies have tested the relationships between perceived stress, sleep disturbance, and demoralization; however, the mechanism of sleep disturbance has not been fully evaluated.ObjectiveTo verify the relationship between perceived stress and demoralization and explore the mediating effect of sleep disturbance on the relationship between perceived stress and demoralization in hemodialysis patients.Materials and methodsA cross-sectional questionnaire survey using convenience sampling from July to August 2022, 547 hemodialysis patients from ten hospitals filled out the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Demoralization Scale (DS), and general information questionnaire. The data were analyzed using SPSS 26.0, and path analysis and structural equation modeling were used to explore the relationships among perceived stress, sleep disturbance, and demoralization.ResultsPerceived stress was significantly and positively associated with demoralization (P < 0.01) among hemodialysis patients. …”
