Abstract
Context: General screening methods for athletes are limited. This study aims to analyze the reliability and validity of the Japanese version of the athlete sleep screening questionnaire. Methods: In total, 111 female collegiate athletes completed the initial test and retest. The independent variables included the kind of sports of the participants and their athletic level, grade (freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior), and age. The reliability of the questionnaire was assessed using Cronbach's alpha and intraclass correlation coefficients. Athletes competing in team sports and individual sports were compared to evaluate for differences. Results: A total of 38.7% of athletes had moderate to severe sleep difficulty score. Their Cronbach's alpha for test and retest were .34 and .44, respectively. The intraclass correlation coefficient indicated sufficient internal consistency and test-retest validity. The mean sleep difficulty scores were 7.0 (2.3) and 6.5 (2.1) for test and retest, but no significant difference was observed between the individual and team sport athletes. Results of multivariable regression analysis revealed that having sleep and performance issues during travel was related to sleep difficulty scores (Coef 1.44, P < .01). Conclusions: Athletes of all levels have sleep disorders. The Japanese version of athlete sleep screening questionnaire has been validated with sufficient test-retest validity but has poor internal consistency. Thus, although Japanese version of the athlete sleep screening questionnaire is an appropriate questionnaire for assessing sleep disorders in athletes whose primary language is Japanese, future research is needed to optimize the questionnaire accounting for cultural variation.
