The association between stress distress and sleep quality was investigated in different short term prospective studies in adults and in the elderly. Personal characteristics, number of stressful life events, perceived stress, negative affect (depression, anxiety and vital exhaustion) and measures of quality of sleep were evaluated through self-reports at time 1, then, at time 2, after at least three month, measures of stressful events, negative affect and quality of sleep were obtained. Different structural equation models have been tested and compared. As an example, in the elderly, when negative affect is assessed as a variable mediating the effect of perceived stress on quality of sleep, the model fits adequately the data (CFI¼.95; NNFI¼.94; RMSEA¼.06; CI¼.04-.08) with important contributions in the explained variability

Abstract
The association between stress distress and sleep quality was investigated in different short term prospective studies in adults and in the elderly. Personal characteristics, number of stressful life events, perceived stress, negative affect (depression, anxiety and vital exhaustion) and measures of quality of sleep were evaluated through self-reports at time 1, then, at time 2, after at least three month, measures of stressful events, negative affect and quality of sleep were obtained. Different structural equation models have been tested and compared. As an example, in the elderly, when negative affect is assessed as a variable mediating the effect of perceived stress on quality of sleep, the model fits adequately the data (CFI¼.95; NNFI¼.94; RMSEA¼.06; CI¼.04-.08) with important contributions in the explained variabilityI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
