Streszczenie:

Według najnowszych badań na zaburzenia snu cierpi ponad połowa osób w populacji geriatrycznej. Obniżona jakość snu wpływa negatywnie na biopsychspołeczne funkcjonowanie jednostki. Celem badań było określenie wielości problemu występowania zaburzeń jakości snu u osób starszych. Badania do pracy zostały przeprowadzano za pomocą anonimowej ankiety, która składała się z dwóch kwestionariuszy: Kwestionariusza Jakości Snu Pittsburgh (PSQI) oraz ankiety własnej konstrukcji. W badaniach wzięło udział 100 osób a ankieta była skierowana do osób po 50 roku życia.. Badania pokazały, że ponad jedna piąta badanych ocenia swój sen na raczej zły oraz wykazano istotne korelacje miedzy wydłużeniem czasu potrzebnego do zaśnięcia a budzeniem się  w nocy lub nad ranem czy brakiem energii.

Słowa kluczowe:

sen, osoby starsze, geriatria
