Overview

Randomized trial finds that experiential avoidance predicts insomnia severity in veterans with PTSD, suggesting integration of tailored interventions.

Key Points

  • To examine the predictive relationship between experiential avoidance and insomnia symptoms among veterans with PTSD.
  • Analyzed baseline data from 93 veterans enrolled in an ongoing clinical trial (NCT05194930).
  • Used various validated scales including BEAQ, ISI, PSQI, and ESS to assess sleep disturbances.
  • Employed multiple linear regressions to analyze associations controlling for age and sex.
  • Higher BEAQ scores predicted greater insomnia severity (ISI, p = 0.002) and daytime sleepiness (ESS, p = 0.020).
  • Significant correlation found between BEAQ scores and daily disturbances (ICSD, p = 0.031).
  • No associations between BEAQ scores and PSQI sleep efficiency (p = 0.454) or perceived sleep quality (p = 0.266).
