Kognitive und körperliche Erregung in der Phase vor dem Einschlafen

Die deutsche Version der Pre-Sleep Arousal Scale (PSAS)

Published Online:July 05, 2012https://doi.org/10.1026/1616-3443/a000134

Abstract

Zusammenfassung.Theoretischer Hintergrund: Die Pre-Sleep Arousal Scale (PSAS) gilt als Goldstandard zur Erfassung kognitiver und körperlicher Erregung in der Phase vor dem Einschlafen. Fragestellung: Bestimmung der Gütekriterien der deutschen Übersetzung. Methode: Die 16 übersetzten Items wurden 268 überwiegend studentischen Versuchspersonen vorgelegt, um dimensionale Struktur, Reliabilität und Validität des Fragebogens zu überprüfen. Ergebnisse: Die zweidimensionale Struktur der Originalversion konnte repliziert werden, allerdings empfiehlt es sich, Item 16 aus dem Itempool auszuschließen. Die interne Konsistenz ist gut bis sehr gut. Bezüglich der Validität eigneten sich beide Skalen zur Diskriminierung zwischen guten und schlechten Schläfern und waren beide erwartungsgemäß stärker mit Einschlaf- als mit Durchschlafproblemen assoziiert. Schlussfolgerung: Mit der deutschen Übersetzung der PSAS kann kognitive und körperliche Erregung ökonomisch, reliabel und valide erfasst werden.


Cognitive and physical arousal in the pre-sleep phase. The German version of the Sleep-Arousal Scale (PSAS)

Abstract.Background: The Pre-Sleep Arousal Scale (PSAS) is considered the gold standard in assessing cognitive and somatic arousal during the pre-sleep period. Objective and methods: To evaluate the psychometric properties of the German version, all 16 Items were translated, and factorial structure, reliability, and validity were evaluated using a predominantly student sample of 268 participants. Results: Comparable to the original version, the translation yielded a two-factor structure with good to very good internal consistency of both the cognitive and the somatic factor, particularly after following our recommendation to exclude Item 16. Both factor scores successfully discriminated between good and poor sleepers and were more strongly associated with sleep onset than with sleep disturbances through the night. Conclusions: The German PSAS seems to be an economic, reliable and valid questionnaire to assess cognitive and somatic pre-sleep arousal.
