“…A 57-item forced-choice adjective check list (ACL) was used to assess mood. In a previous study of these mood scales (13) and in others using similar instruments (14,15,16), the self-report procedure for assessing mood by means of ACLs has been shown to be reliable and valid.…”

Ten regular 12-8 a.m. 8-hour sleepers performed a 5-min experimenter-paced calculation task, a 30-min vigilance task and completed an adjective check list to rate their mood following a 12-8 a.m. habitual sleep condition and 8 p.m.-4 a.m., 10 p.m.-6 a.m., 2-10 a.m., and 4 a.m-12 p.m. conditions of shifted sleep. After the shifted sleep conditions compared to the 12-8 a.m. condition performance on the vigilance and calculation tasks was significantly impaired, and negative affect was significantly greater as measured by three scales of the adjective check list. Sleep length did not differ between the various conditions and the decrements in performance and mood were unrelated to any specific changes in the electrophysiological patterns of sleep.

Determinants of compliance with antiretroviral therapy in patients with human immunodeficiency virus: Prospective assessment with implications for enhancing compliance

et al. 1996

Non-compliance with therapy is a significant problem, particularly when the disease process is chronic and therapeutic regimens are employed for prolonged periods. We assessed the prevalence and variables associated with compliance with antiretroviral therapy in patients with human immunodeficiency virus infection, by means of a longitudinal observational study of 46 patients aged 23 to 68 years, with human immunodeficiency virus infection, followed at the Pittsburgh VA Medical Center. Data on demographics, medical status, physical functioning (Karnofsky performance scores), CD4 lymphocyte count, depression (Beck depression inventory), coping (inventory of coping with illness scale scores), and psychological and emotional stress (profile of mood states scale scores), were prospectively assessed on all patients at baseline and every 6 months. Compliance was assessed at 6 and 12 months: patients taking > or = 80% of antiretroviral therapy were considered compliant. Overall, 63% of patients were compliant with antiretroviral therapy. Age, education, employment, religious support, and perceived quality of life did not correlate with compliance. By univariate analysis, lack of prior intravenous drug use was significantly associated with compliance (p = 0.01). Compliant patients had significantly better adaptive coping (p = 0.03), and less depression (p = 0.04). By multivariate analysis, black race was significantly associated with non-compliance independent of intravenous drug use and educational status. History of prior opportunistic infection (which presumably heightens the perceived severity of illness) (p = 0.02), and lesser psychological disturbance scores (p = 0.02) were associated with compliance. Compliance was observed despite the greater number of prescription medications taken by compliant patients (p = 0.04). At 12 months, Karnofsky scores were better in compliant patients (p = 0.02), although mortality was not different. Besides identifying predictors of compliance, our data suggest that symptoms of depression and psychological stress be sought in patients with non-adherence.

“…Berry and Webb (1983) examined correlations between sleep and affect using two nights of sleep recordings (18 variables) and one night of affect data [five mood scales from the Lorr Mood test (Lorr et al. , 1967) collected on the second night] from middle aged adults (aged 50–60).…”

SUMMARYThe main objective of the present study was to examine daily associations (intraindividual variability or IIV) between sleep and affect in older adults. Greater understanding of these associations is important, because both sleep and affect represent modifiable behaviors that can have a major influence on older adults' health and well-being. We collected sleep diaries, actigraphy, and affect data concurrently for 14 days in 103 community-dwelling older adults. Multilevel modeling was used to assess the sleep-affect relationship at both the group (betweenpersons) and individual (within-person or IIV) levels. We hypothesized that nights characterized by better sleep would be associated with days characterized by higher positive affect and lower negative affect, and that the inverse would be true for poor sleep. Daily associations were found between affect and subjective sleep, only and were in the hypothesized direction. Specifically, nights with greater reported awake time or lower sleep quality ratings were associated with days characterized by less positive affect and more negative affect. Gender was not a significant main effect in the present study, despite previous research suggesting gender differences in the sleepaffect relationship. The fact that self-ratings of sleep emerged as the best predictors of affect may suggest that perceived sleep is a particularly important predictor. Finally, our results suggest exploration of affect as a potential intervention target in late-life insomnia is warranted.
