compared to 38.5% of Madrid patients, and 57.8% of Boston patients

had any ER use in the last year vs. 50% of Madrid patients.

Conclusions

SD is correlated with SUD and comorbid patients are

more likely to use emergency services.

Introduction

Major affective disorders ranging from subthres-

hold affective temperaments to severe affective diseases and

anxiety, are frequently associated with sleep–wake dysregulation.

Interestingly, recent studies suggested an active role of Sensory

Processing Disorders (SPD) in the emergence of sleep disturbances.

Objectives

The objective of this study was to investigate the rela-

tionship between SPD and sleep quality in subjects with major

affective disorders and specific affective temperaments.

Aims

This study aimed to examine the sensory profile (expressed

in hypersensitivity or hyposensitivity) of patients withmajor affec-

tive disorders and its relative contribution to the prediction of sleep

quality while also considering affective temperaments and depres-

sion, known as factors that may impact sleep quality.

Methods

We recruited 176 participants (mean age = 47.3) of

which 56.8% have unipolar depression and 43.2% bipolar disor-

der. Reduced sleep quality was evaluated using the Pittsburgh

Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) whereas affective temperaments were

assessed using the Temperament Evaluation ofMemphis, Pisa, Paris

and San Diego (TEMPS).

Results

Sensory hypersensitivity, assessed using Adoles-

cent/Adult Sensory Profile (AASP), significantly distinguished

between poor and good sleepers. Sleep quality was mainly pre-

dicted by the Beck Depression Inventory-II total score and anxious

temperament. Yet, sensory hypersensitivity contributed to this

prediction mainly in regard to sleep efficiency and related daytime

dysfunctions.

Conclusions

The careful assessment of the unique sensory profile

and its behavioral/functional influence on patients’ quality of life

may help clinicians and health providers in developing targeted

treatment interventions.

Introduction

Circadian rhythms and quality of sleep have been

associated with temperament characteristics in healthy popula-

tions. Since temperaments are personality traits concerning the

behavioral, motivational and emotional responses, adaptive capac-

ity for sleep and circadian rhythm may also be related with

temperament traits.

Aims

To identify the determinants of sleep quality (SQ) and

biological rhythm (BR) in bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and

depression among temperament measures.

Methods

Patients with bipolar disorder (BD,

n

= 49), major

depression (MD,

n

= 35), schizophrenia (SZ,

n

= 30) and a healthy

control group (HC,

n

= 36) were enrolled. Pittsburgh Sleep Qual-

ity Index (PSQI), Biological Rhythms Interview of Assessment in

Neuropsychiatry (BRIAN) and the Temperament and Character

Inventory (TCI) were the measures. One-way ANOVA, Spearman

Correlation Test and Linear Regression analyses were the other

comparisons.

Results

Determinants of sleep quality were self-directedness in

MD [

F

(1,26) = 6.10,

P

= 0.020] and BD [

F

(1,31) = 10.88,

P

= 0.002]

groups. Self-transcendence (

P

= 0.004), self-directedness (

P

= 0.038)

and persistence (

P

= 0.05) were the determinants of sleep

quality in schizophrenia group [

F

(3,21) = 9.71,

P

< 0.001]. Harm-

avoidance was the determinant of sleep quality in the HC group

[

F

(1,28) = 7.97,

P

< 0.001]. Determinants of biological rhythms were

harm-avoidance in the BD group [

F

(1,32) = 9.65,

P

= 0.004] and

self-directedness in the SZ group [

F

(1,23) = 11.09,

P

= 0.003] and

harm-avoidance (

P

< 0.001) and self-transcendence (

P

= 0.039) in

the HC group [

F

(2,27) = 15.81,

P

< 0.001].

Conclusions

Self-Directedness was associated with circadian

rhythm and sleep quality in MD, BD and SZ groups. Extreme tem-

perament features may contribute to emotional and behavioral

dysfunction, which may lead to abnormal sleep patterns in psy-

chiatric disorders.

Introduction

Since 1897, Émile Durkheim noted that suicides

occur more often during the economic changes that disrupt the

social structure of society.
