Relationship between Attributional Style, Resilience and Sleep Quality among Military Personnel Stationed in a Certain Plateau Area

Abstract

Objective: To investigate the current status of sleep quality and its relationship with attributional style and resilience among military personnel stationed in a certain plateau area. Methods: A questionnaire survey was conducted among military personnel stationed at a specific location in a certain plateau area using a self-designed general information questionnaire, the Attributional Style Questionnaire, the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Results: Participants scored 36.19±12.71 for negative event attributional style, 76.45±17.83 for resilience, and 2.85±2.28 for sleep quality. Attributional style scores were positively correlated with sleep quality scores (r=0.132, P<0.01), whereas resilience scores were negatively correlated with sleep quality scores (r=-0.313, P<0.01). Age, educational level, marital status, duration of stay in the certain plateau area, altitude of station, attributional style, and resilience were all identified as influencing factors for sleep quality. Conclusion: The sleep quality of military personnel stationed in the certain plateau area appears to be relatively good. The study suggests that maladaptive attributional styles and lower levels of resilience may be contributing factors to poorer sleep quality. Future mental health management interventions could target attributional styles and resilience to improve the sleep quality and overall psychological well-being of military personnel in the certain plateau area.
