Abstract EN
Complaints of poor sleep and symptoms of depression are likely to coexist in the spousally bereaved elderly.
This study was concerned with the correlation between depressive symptoms and various measures of subjectively reported sleep using questionnaire and diary instruments in 38 bereaved seniors (60y+).
Correlations between the sleep measures and days since loss and grief intensity were also calculated.
All sleep disruption measures correlated significantly with depression score, but only sleep duration correlated with grief intensity, and no sleep measure correlated with days since loss.
Therapies which address both sleep and depression are likely to be of benefit to bereaved seniors.
