P111 Validity and Reliability of Sleep Questionnaires in Adults: A Systematic Review

Abstract Introduction Sleep plays an important role in maintaining overall health and well-being. It has been well-established that poor sleep is linked to several negative health consequences. Therefore, the use of appropriate sleep measures in national surveillance systems is essential to understand the impact that poor sleep has on population health. The aim of this systematic review is to evaluate the validity and reliability of self-reported sleep questionnaires. Method Electronic database searches were performed on PubMed, EMBASE, and PsycINFO, focusing on studies of adults aged 18 and above that validated sleep questionnaires against objective sleep measurements or compared them with other subjective sleep instruments. Search terms were grouped into three categories: sleep health, assessment instrument type, and psychometric properties. Progress to Date A total of 5,071 abstracts across the three electronic databases were retrieved from the general search and screening is currently being undertaken. Relevant studies meeting the inclusion criteria will be analysed, and data will be extracted using a predefined form, which includes study characteristics, sleep measures, validated objective and/or subjective instruments, and psychometric properties. Intended Outcome and Impact The systematic review is expected to provide a summary of the psychometric properties of sleep questionnaires that have potential use in population health surveys as part of routine health monitoring. The findings will contribute to the identification of any gaps in the current sleep questionnaires to help enable more comprehensive monitoring and understanding of population sleep habits and associated health outcomes.
