IntroductionThe aim of the study was to propose the Clinical Inventory of Sleep Quality (CISQ), and compared it with the Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI).MethodsWe studied 400 subjects with the CISQ. Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was calculated to measure the reliability, and to determine the concurrent validity, a Canonical correlation analysis was performed. At next, we used an exploratory and confirmatory Factorial analysis with Varimax rotation for validity construct calculation.ResultsCronbach alpha coefficient of the scale was significantly strong (α=0.81). Canonic correlation was=0.93, suggesting that data proved that the CISQ and PSQI are measuring identical subject. Confirmatory Factorial analysis model grouped items of the scale in four factors: 1. Daytime symptoms, 2. Nocturnal symptoms, 3. Sleep disordered breathing symptoms, and 4. Sleep-related movement disorders symptoms. We proposed five categories to score CISQ in a range of 0–52 points, as follows: Good quality of sleep, Mild bad sleep quality, Moderate bad sleep quality, Severe bad sleep quality, and Profound bad sleep quality.ConclusionCISQ is a promising tool to measure sleep quality and deserve more research to confirm its utility.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
