The Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) is a self-report questionnaire that was developed by Daniel Buysse (M.D.), Timothy Monk (Ph.D.), Charles Reynolds (M.D.), Susan Berman, and David Kupfer (M.D.) to provide a valid and reliable measure of sleep quality. [1] The creators of the PSQI intended for the measure to be able to discriminate "good" and "bad" sleepers in a way that is easy for clinicians and researchers to use, and to provide a brief assessment of potential sleep disturbances that may affect sleep quality. [1] This 10 items assessment measures sleep quality over the past month and potential sleep disturbances such as having a partner in the room or loud snoring. [1] The PSQI is a multiple choice test that takes about 10-15 minutes to administer, and can be used in clinical, research, and every day settings. Its strong psychometric properties has allowed researchers and clinicians to accurate gauge the quality of sleep in their patients.

Steps for evaluating reliability and validity

[edit | edit source]
Click here for instructions
  1. Evaluate the instrument by referring to the rubrics for evaluating reliability and validity (both external Wikiversity pages). For easy reference, open these pages in separate tabs.
    1. Reliability rubric
    2. Validity rubric
  2. Refer to the relevant instrument rubric table. This is the table that you will be editing. Do not confuse this with the external pages on reliability and validity.
    1. Instrument rubric table: Reliability
    2. Instrument rubric table: Validity
  3. Depending on whether instrument was adequate, good, excellent, or too good:
    1. Insert your rating.
    2. Add the evidence from journal articles that support your evaluation.
    3. Provide citations.
  4. Refer to the heading for the instrument rubric table ("Rubric for evaluating norms and reliability for the XXX ... indicates new construct or category")
    1. Make sure that you change the name of the instrument accordingly.
  5. Using the Edit Source function, remove collapse top and collapse bottom curly wurlys to show content.

[edit | edit source]

Note: Not all of the different types of reliability apply to the way that questionnaires are typically used. Internal consistency (whether all of the items measure the same construct) is not usually reported in studies of questionnaires; nor is inter-rater reliability (which would measure how similar peoples' responses were if the interviews were repeated again, or different raters listened to the same interview). Therefore, make adjustments as needed.

Reliability

[edit | edit source]

Not all of the different types of reliability apply to the way that questionnaires are typically used. Internal consistency (whether all of the items measure the same construct) is not usually reported in studies of questionnaires; nor is inter-rater reliability (which would measure how similar peoples' responses were if the interviews were repeated again, or different raters listened to the same interview). Therefore, make adjustments as needed.

Reliability refers to whether the scores are reproducible. Unless otherwise specified, the reliability scores and values come from studies done with a United States population sample. Here is the rubric for evaluating the reliability of scores on a measure for the purpose of evidence based assessment.

Evaluation for norms and reliability for the XXX (table from Youngstrom et al., extending Hunsley & Mash, 2008; *indicates new construct or category)
Criterion Rating (adequate, good, excellent, too good*) Explanation with references
Norms Good The original publication included a group of "good" sleepers, and two groups of "not good" sleepers who suffered from either major depression or some other sleep/wake complaints. [1]
Internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha, split half, etc.) Good In the original study, the reported alpha was 0.83, and a meta-analysis reported alphas between 0.70 and 0.83. [1][2]
Interrater reliability Not applicable Designed originally as a self-report scale
Test-retest reliability (stability Good r = .73 over 15 weeks. Evaluated in initial studies,[3] with data also show high stability in clinical trials[citation needed]
Repeatability Not published No published studies formally checking repeatability

Validity

[edit | edit source]

Validity describes the evidence that an assessment tool measures what it was supposed to measure. There are many different ways of checking validity. For screening measures, diagnostic accuracy and w:discriminative validity are probably the most useful ways of looking at validity. Unless otherwise specified, the validity scores and values come from studies done with a United States population sample. Here is a rubric for describing validity of test scores in the context of evidence-based assessment.

Evaluation of validity and utility for the XXX (table from Youngstrom et al., unpublished, extended from Hunsley & Mash, 2008; *indicates new construct or category)
Criterion Rating (adequate, good, excellent, too good*) Explanation with references
Content validity Excellent Covers both DSM diagnostic symptoms and a range of associated features[3]
Contruct validity (e.g., predictive, concurrent, convergent, and discriminant validity) Excellent Shows Convergent validity with other symptom scales, longitudinal prediction of development of mood disorders,[4][5][6] criterion validity via metabolic markers[3][7] and associations with family history of mood disorder.[8] Factor structure complicated;[3][9] the inclusion of “biphasic” or “mixed” mood items creates a lot of cross-loading
Discriminative validity Excellent Multiple studies show that GBI scores discriminate cases with unipolar and bipolar mood disorders from other clinical disorders[3][10][11] effect sizes are among the largest of existing scales[12]
Validity generalization Good Used both as self-report and caregiver report; used in college student[9][13] as well as outpatient[10][14][15] and inpatient clinical samples; translated into multiple languages with good reliability
Treatment sensitivity Good Multiple studies show sensitivity to treatment effects comparable to using interviews by trained raters, including placebo-controlled, masked assignment trials[16][17] Short forms appear to retain sensitivity to treatment effects while substantially reducing burden[17][18]
Clinical utility Good Free (public domain), strong psychometrics, extensive research base. Biggest concerns are length and reading level. Short forms have less research, but are appealing based on reduced burden and promising data

Scoring instructions and syntax

[edit | edit source]

We have syntax in three major languages: R, SPSS, and SAS. All variable names are the same across all three, and all match the CSV shell that we provide as well as the Qualtrics export.

Scoring and interpretation

[edit | edit source]

Consisting of 19 items, the PSQI measures several different aspects of sleep, offering seven component scores and one composite score. The component scores consist of subjective sleep quality, sleep latency (i.e., how long it takes to fall asleep), sleep duration, habitual sleep efficiency (i.e., the percentage of time in bed that one is asleep), sleep disturbances, use of sleeping medication, and daytime dysfunction.

Each item is weighted on a 0–3 interval scale. The global PSQI score is then calculated by totaling the seven component scores, providing an overall score ranging from 0 to 21, where lower scores denote a healthier sleep quality.

Traditionally, the items from the PSQI have been summed to create a total score to measure overall sleep quality. Statistical analyses also support looking at three factors, which include sleep efficiency (using sleep duration and sleep efficiency variables), perceived sleep quality (using subjective sleep quality, sleep latency, and sleep medication variables), and daily disturbances (using sleep disturbances and daytime dysfunctions variables).[19]

Component 1 - subjective sleep quality: 9

Component 2 - sleep latency: 2, 5a 

   For item 2, the scoring is: (0) less than or equal to 15 mins; (1) 16-30 mins; (2) 31-60 mins; (3) larger than 60 mins.

Component 3 - sleep duration: 4 

   For item 4, the scoring is: (0) larger than 7 hrs; (1) 6-7 hrs; (2) 5-6 hrs; (3) less than 5 hrs.

Component 4 - sleep efficiency: 1, 3, 4 

   Sleep efficiency = (# hours slept/# hours in bed) X 100%
   # hours slept—question 4
   # hours in bed—calculated from responses to questions 1 and 3
   (0) larger than 85%; (1) 75-84%; (2) 65-74%; (3) less than 65%.

Component 5 - sleep disturbance: 5b-5j

Component 6 - use of sleep medication: 6

Component 7 - daytime dysfunction: 7, 8

Global PSQI score: sum of 7 component scores

CSV shell for sharing

[edit | edit source]
Click here for CSV shell
  • <Paste link to CSV shell here>

Here is a shell data file that you could use in your own research. The variable names in the shell corresponds with the scoring code in the code for all three statistical programs.

Note that our CSV includes several demographic variables, which follow current conventions in most developmental and clinical psychology journals. You may want to modify them, depending on where you are working. Also pay attention to the possibility of "deductive identification" -- if we ask personal information in enough detail, then it may be possible to figure out the identity of a participant based on a combination of variables.

When different research projects and groups use the same variable names and syntax, it makes it easier to share the data and work together on integrative data analyses or "mega" analyses (which are different and better than meta-analysis in that they are combining the raw data, versus working with summary descriptive statistics).
