Assessment for Rehabilitation of COVID-19
Published in Wenguang Xia, Xiaolin Huang, Rehabilitation from COVID-19, 2021
Assessment of sleep disorders: The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSDI) is used to assess the sleep quality of patients with organic or inorganic sleep disorders in the past month. It is one of the most widely used sleep quality assessment scales. The Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS) is a self-rating scale of insomnia severity based on the 10th revision of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD-10) insomnia diagnostic criteria.

The Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS) was developed as a brief, easy-to-administer, self-assessment questionnaire to determine insomnia severity according to the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Edition. It consists of eight items, and participants responded to a 4-point Likert scale regarding their insomnia in the last month. The scoring range for the AIS is 0–24 points, with higher scores indicating severe insomnia. The internal consistency and test–retest reliability of the AIS have been previously confirmed [12]. We employed 10 points as a cut-off value for the AIS, instead of 6 points for the English version [13], as a recent study revealed that insomnia could be classified as no insomnia (0–5 points), mild insomnia (6–9 points), moderate insomnia (10–15 points) and severe insomnia (16–24 points) using the Japanese version of the AIS (74% sensitivity and 83% specificity for moderate insomnia) [14].

Studies were included if they met the following criteria: (a) subjects aged ≥ 60 years; (b) cross-sectional or cohort survey (only the baseline data were extracted) conducted in China; (c) reported prevalence of sleep disturbance (i.e., persistent or occasional insomnia) as measured by PSQI (Buysse et al., 1989; Liu et al., 1996), systematic diagnostic instruments (such as the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems-9th Revision (ICD-9), ICD-10, DSM-IV, and Chinese classification of mental disorders, Version 3 [CCMD-3)], or questionnaires (such as the Athens insomnia scale [AIS]), or standardized questions; or sleep quality as measured by PSQI with the mean and standard deviation [SD]; (d) sample size ≥ 100, which was calculated based on the finding in a multicenter survey (Chen, Yue, & Li, 2006) on sleep disturbance (49.9%) using power analysis (Cohen, 1988); (e) accessible full texts in Chinese or English. Studies focused on special populations (e.g., retired people, army, empty nesters, people with major medical conditions) or those living in special settings (e.g., nursing homes or hospitals) were excluded. Studies using convenience sampling and those without details on sampling method were also excluded.

Insomnia was evaluated by the Polish adaptation of the Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS; Soldatos, Dikeos, & Paparrigopoulos, 2000; Polish adaptation, Fornal-Pawłowska, Wołyńczyk-Gmaj, & Szelenberger, 2011), a brief self-assessment questionnaire for determining the symptoms of insomnia based on the ICD-10 criteria (World Health Organization, 1993). The AIS consists of eight questions: questions 1–5 evaluate the quality of sleep at night, and questions 6–8 refer to vitality during the day. The score for each item ranges 0–3; 0 represents no problem; 1, a minor problem; 2, a marked problem; and 3, a very serious problem. The total score for the scale ranges 0–24. Higher values indicate unsatisfactory quality of sleep, thereby denoting insomnia. The value of Cronbach’s alpha for the Polish version was 0.90.
