Abstract

Sleep quality of family caregivers is a dynamic process and changes over time. However, little is known about the information on the factors that predict longitudinal sleep patterns of caregivers. By using growth mixture modeling (GMM), we identified two distinct trajectories and its influencing factors.

Latent heterogeneity in short-term trajectories of sleep disturbance in family caregivers

Melbourne, Australia

Sleep quality of family caregivers is a dynamic process and changes over time. However, little is known about the information on the factors that predict longitudinal sleep patterns of caregivers. By using growth mixture modeling (GMM), we identified two distinct trajectories and its influencing factors.
