A Preliminary Study On The Relationship Between Sleep Quality And Executive Function Impairment In Adolescents With Depression

Objective:Explore the correlation between sleep quality and executive function of adolescent depression,so as to provide basis for clinical intervention.Methods:Adolescent Sleep-Awakening scale(Adolescent Sleep-Wake Scale,ASWS),Beck self-rating Depression scale(Beck Depression Inventory,BDI),Hamilton Depression scale((Hamilton Depression Scale,HAMD),and the Chinese version of stroop Color words Test(Stroop color-word Association Test,SCWT)were used to test 40 adolescent patients with depression in the Psychological Medicine Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University and 40 normal adolescents from the Middle School affiliated to Xinjiang Medical University.The sleep quality and executive function level of adolescent depression and the correlation between them were analyzed.The survey results were analyzed by SPSS20.0 statistical software.Results:1.There were significant differences in ASWS and the scores of going to bed,falling asleep,sleep maintenance and falling asleep again between the case group and the control group.The ASWS and the scores of going to bed,falling asleep,sleep maintenance and falling asleep again in the case group were lower than those in the control group.2.There was a significant correlation between BDI and ASWS and its indices of going to bed,falling asleep,sleep maintenance and falling asleep again,and there was a negative correlation.For HAMD scale,there was a negative correlation between HAMD and ASWS and the indices of going to bed,falling asleep,sleep maintenance and falling asleep again.3.There were significant differences in the time usage of A card,time usage of B card,C card right number,C card error number,time usage of C card and time usageof D card in the Stroop color word test between the case group and the control group.The time usage of A card,time usage of B card,C card error number,time usage of C card and time usage of D card in the case group were higher than those in the control group,while the correct number of C cards in the case group was lower than that in the control group.4.There was a negative correlation between the sleep score of the case group and the time usage of A card,and the time usage of D card.Conclusion:Depression adolescents have decreased sleep quality,impaired executive function,and accompanied by the decline in sleep quality of adolescents with depression,the more prominent the depressive symptoms,the more obvious the executive function damage.Paying attention to the sleep quality and executive function of adolescent depression is of great significance to its diagnosis and prognosis.
