What Is a Sleep Scale?

The Self-Rating Scale of Sleep (SRSS) was compiled by Professor Li Jianming, executive director of the Chinese Mental Health Association and executive editor of the Chinese Journal of Health Psychology, and worked out a Chinese norm (standard) in a national collaborative group. In the process of modifying the scale, he received guidance and help from Professor Xu Youxin of Beijing Medical University and Professor Liu Xiehe of West China Medical University.

This scale is suitable for screening people with sleep problems in different populations, and can also be used to compare the evaluation of the effects of sleep problems before and after treatment. Before obtaining the national norm, 162 third-year college students were repeatedly evaluated, and the reliability and validity of this scale were statistically processed.Results: Reliability (Cronbach's coefficient) r = 0.6418; Validity r = 0.56252, P values are all <0.0001. Items and evaluation criteria: There are 10 items in SRSS. Each item is scored on 5 scales (1-5). The higher the score, the more serious the sleep problem. The minimum score of this scale is 10 (basically no sleep problems) and the highest score is 50 (most severe).

Guidance: There are 10 questions on this scale. Please read each one carefully to understand the meaning. Then, according to your actual situation in the past month, tick the answer number that best suits your situation ().

Notes for assessment: This scale is filled by the assessment objects themselves. Before self-assessment by the appraiser, be sure to understand the filling method and each meaning of the scale, and then make an independent self-assessment that is not affected by anyone. Each question is scored on a 5-point scale, with higher scores indicating more severe sleep problems. One assessment was completed in 20 minutes.

Precautions:
1. The time range for the assessment is within the past month.
2. At the end of the assessment, the staff should carefully check the results of the self-assessment, and remind the self-assessment not to miss an item and not to tick two items in the same item (repeated evaluation).
3.If it is used to evaluate the efficacy, the self-evaluator should be evaluated once before starting the treatment or study, and then should be evaluated once after the treatment or at the end of the study, in order to analyze the self-evaluator's performance by the change of the SRSS total score Changes in sleep status.

Statistical indicators and results analysis: The main statistical indicators of SRSS are the total score and each item (factor) score. After the self-assessment is completed, the scores of the 10 items are added up to obtain the total score. The total score ranges from 10 to 50 points; the lower the total score, the less sleep problems; the higher the total score, the heavier and more sleep problems. ^[1]
