Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: The purpose of this study was to determine whether social support from extended family and church members moderate the association between chronic stress exposure and sleep quality in a nationally representative sample of African American adults.
UNASSIGNED: Data from African American respondents aged 18 and older were drawn from the National Survey of American Life-Reinterview. The analytic sample for this study included 1,372 African American adults who attended religious services at least a few times a year, as the church-based relationship measures were only assessed for these individuals. Self-reported sleep quality was assessed by sleep satisfaction, trouble falling asleep, and restless sleep. Chronic stress exposure was measured by a nine-item index. OLS and logistic regression were used to estimate the relationship between chronic stress exposure, extended family and church relationships, and sleep quality.
UNASSIGNED: The data indicated that chronic stress exposure was associated with decreased sleep satisfaction, increased likelihood of trouble falling asleep and restless sleep. Receiving emotional support from family and more frequent contact with church members were associated with decreased restless sleep. Emotional family support moderated the associations between chronic stress exposure and trouble falling asleep and restless sleep. The positive associations between chronic stress exposure and these two sleep quality measures were attenuated among respondents who received high levels of emotional support from their family.
UNASSIGNED: Together, these findings underscore the detriment of chronic stress exposure to African Americans\' sleep quality and suggest that extended family members are effective stress coping resources and play an important role in this population\'s sleep quality.

摘要：
■这项研究的目的是确定是否来自大家庭和教会成员的社会支持在具有全国代表性的非裔美国成年人样本中调节慢性压力暴露与睡眠质量之间的关联。
■来自18岁及以上的非裔美国人受访者的数据来自美国生活全国调查-重新访谈。这项研究的分析样本包括1372名非洲裔美国成年人，他们每年至少参加几次宗教仪式。因为基于教会的关系措施只对这些人进行评估。自我报告的睡眠质量通过睡眠满意度来评估，麻烦入睡，和不安的睡眠。通过九项指数测量慢性压力暴露。OLS和逻辑回归被用来估计慢性应激暴露之间的关系，大家庭和教会的关系，和睡眠质量。
■数据表明，长期压力暴露与睡眠满意度下降有关，增加了入睡困难和睡眠不安的可能性。获得家人的情感支持以及与教会成员更频繁的接触与不安睡眠减少有关。情绪家庭支持缓和了慢性压力暴露与入睡困难和不安睡眠之间的关联。在接受家人高水平情感支持的受访者中，慢性压力暴露与这两种睡眠质量指标之间的正相关关系减弱。
■一起，这些发现强调了慢性压力暴露对非裔美国人睡眠质量的损害，并表明大家庭成员是有效的压力应对资源，在该人群的睡眠质量中起着重要作用。
