Abstract
- Prevalence rates for both depression and insomnia the first year after stroke are around 30%, significantly impacting the prospects of recovery, rehabilitation, and quality of life. Furthermore, the risk of insomnia and depression becoming chronic is high in the subacute phase post-stroke. This cross-sectional observational study investigated whether insomnia and depression are related in the subacute phase post-stroke, using validated instruments. Sixty-six outpatient stroke survivors participated. Depression was measured using the depression subscale of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS-D) and insomnia severity with the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI). A multiple linear regression analysis was used to examine the association between the dependent variable post-stroke depression and the independent variables insomnia and pre-stroke depression treatment. Results showed that insomnia (<italic>β</italic> = 0.48, <italic>t </italic>= 4.40, <italic>p </italic>< 0.001) and pre-stroke depression treatment (<italic>β</italic> = 0.24, <italic>t </italic>= 2.28, <italic>p </italic>= 0.026) were both significant predictors of depression. Participants with more insomnia complaints and participants with pre-stroke depression treatment had more depression symptoms post-stroke. Therefore, it is important to be alert in the subacute phase post-stroke of both, insomnia and depression complaints. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
