Background: Various studies show that sleep quality, life skills, and cortisol are associated with depressive symptoms, separately. However, the relationships between sleep quality, life skills, cortisol, and depressive symptoms remain unclear. Thus, this study aims to examine the mediating or moderating roles of life skills and cortisol in the relationship between sleep quality and depressive symptoms.
Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study was performed among 212 adolescents with childhood household dysfunction (CHD) from August to October 2020 in China. We used the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, the Secondary School Student Life Skills Rating Scale, and the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale to measure sleep quality, life skills, and depressive symptoms, respectively. Additionally, 65 participants provided blood samples to assess their blood cortisol levels. Analyses included correlations, regressions, and structural equation models. Bootstrapping was performed to examine the mediation effect. Multiple regression analysis was performed to examine the moderation effect.
Results: The results showed that sleep quality and life skills were significantly associated with depressive symptoms ( < 0.01). Life skills mediated the relationship between sleep quality and depressive symptoms. Cortisol moderated the relationship between sleep quality and depressive symptoms.
Conclusion: Our findings support potential mediating and moderating roles of life skills and cortisol in the relationship between sleep quality and depressive symptoms, which suggests improving sleep quality, life skills are of great significance in the prevention and intervention of depression in adolescents with CHD, and disseminating knowledge about the high risk of developing increased depressive symptoms among adolescents with CHD with higher cortisol levels is indicated.

Background: Over the past twenty years, the post-cancer rehabilitation has been developed, usually in a hospital setting. Although this allows better care organization and improved security, it is perceived as stressful and restrictive by the "cancer survivor". Therefore, the transfer of benefits to everyday life is more difficult, or even uncertain.

The present study examined the effects of a culturally adapted intervention, ¡Iniciando! la Adultez, on sleep and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in Latino young adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and their Spanish-speaking parents. The intervention targeted the transition to adulthood, a period associated with increased challenges in sleep and HRQoL, particularly for underserved Latino populations. Participants included 26 young adults and 38 parents who completed assessments at baseline and post-treatment.

Introduction: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by repetitive episodes of complete or partial upper airway collapse during sleep. Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a sleep-related movement disorder characterized by an uncomfortable urge to move the legs, especially during inactivity and evenings. Both OSA and RLS are common with significant overlap: RLS is present in up to 36% of those with OSA.

Objective: This study examined the relationship between diffusion tensor imaging indicators and brain network characteristics in patients with cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) with (CSVD + S) and without (CSVD-S) sleep disturbance. We explored the feasibility of using these imaging biomarkers to investigate the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying sleep disturbance in patients with CSVD.
Methods: A total of 146 patients with CSVD and 84 healthy controls were included.
