Abstract
Background and Purpose
Few studies have examined how self-efficacy is related to sleep behaviors in young adults. The purpose of this study was to develop and test an instrument specifically designed to measure self-efficacy for sleep hygiene in young adults.
Methods
The Self-Efficacy for Sleep Hygiene Inventory (SESHI) was developed in three phases using principal components analysis. The 30-item scale was pilot tested with a sample of 305 young adults. A second study with a sample of 96 young adults confirmed reliability.
Results
A 24-item three-factor solution: time management, disruptive influences, and sleep influences. Cronbach's alphas were 0.83 (total SESHI), 0.87 (time management), 0.69 (disruptive influences), and 0.73 (sleep influences).
Conclusions
Initial psychometric testing indicated the SESHI may be a reliable measure of self-efficacy for sleep hygiene in this population.
