智能調整床對成年人睡眠品質之影響

Abstract

睡眠對於成年人的身心健康扮演了極重要的角色，睡眠長度與睡眠品質是良好睡眠的重要關鍵。而睡眠品質的影響因素包含心理、環境及行為因素，相較於心理及行為因素，環境因素如床鋪、枕頭、溫度等是比較能控制之因素，本研究將聚焦於智能調整床對於成年人睡眠品質之影響。據此，本研究目的為一、探討研究對象之個人背景變項與智能調整床滿意度之現況。二、探討研究對象使用智能調整床後對於自覺睡眠品質之影響。三、探討研究對象個人背景變項與智能調整床滿意度之差異。本研究為橫斷性研究設計，以便利取樣方式，藉由涵蓋個人背景資訊、自覺睡眠品質及智能調整床滿意度之結構式問卷為研究工具，透過網路問卷針對曾購買及使用過智能調整床的18歲以上成年人進行調查，共回收245份有效問卷。研究結果如下：一、研究對象的平均年齡為46.6歲，以40-59歲的年齡層居多 (58.0%)，女性約占六成，居住地區以南部及北部地區居多。研究對象對於智能調整床滿意度最高的前三項特性依序為床墊涼感設計、智能調整床實用性，及符合人體工學設計。二、68.8%的研究對象表示使用智能調整床後入睡困難的問題有改善、60%表示其睡眠持續時間有改善；而睡眠困擾部分，也都有超過5成的消費者表示其無法在30分鐘內入睡、半夜或凌晨醒來的情形有改善。三、研究對象之「居住地區」及「規律運動習慣」對智能調整床滿意度呈顯著差異，其中，有規律運動習慣者之智能調整床滿意度顯著高於無規律運動者。綜上所述，本研究之發現將有助於業者掌握消費者對於智能調整床的滿意度情形，及更進一步瞭解智能調整床對成年人睡眠品質之影響，做為未來智能調整床銷售之重要研究實證基礎。Sleep constitutes an essential factor for physical and mental health in adults, with both sleep duration and sleep quality serving as key determinants of good-quality sleep. Factors influencing sleep quality include psychological, environmental, and behavioral components. Compared with psychological and behavioral factors, environmental factors such as bedding, pillows, and ambient temperature are relatively modifiable. This study focuses on the impact of smart-adjustable beds on adults' sleep quality. The aims of this study were: (1) to describe the current status of participants' demographic characteristics and satisfaction with smart-adjustable beds; (2) to evaluate changes in subjective sleep quality after using a smart-adjustable beds; and (3) to investigate the differences between participants' demographic characteristics and their satisfaction with smart-adjustable beds. This cross-sectional study employed convenience sampling via an online questionnaire targeting adults aged 18 years and older who had purchased a smart-adjustable bed. The structured questionnaire included measures of personal background, self-reported sleep quality, and satisfaction with smart-adjustable beds. A total of 245 valid responses were collected. The main findings were as follows: (1) The mean age of participants was 46.6 years; 58.0% were aged 40–59 years, approximately 60% were women, and most resided in southern and northern Taiwan. The three most satisfying features of smart-adjustable beds were cooling mattress materials, practical functionality, and ergonomic design. (2) A total of 68.8% of participants reported reduced difficulty initiating sleep after using a smart-adjustable bed, 60.0% reported improved sleep duration, and more than half reported improvement in specific sleep disturbances, including difficulty initiating sleep within 30 minutes and nocturnal awakenings. (3) Significant differences in satisfaction with smart-adjustable beds were observed by residential area and regular exercise habits, with those engaging in regular exercise reporting higher satisfaction. In conclusion, the findings of this study provide valuable implications for industry stakeholders into consumer satisfaction and its determinants following the use of smart-adjustable beds, as well as the potential benefits of such beds in enhancing sleep quality among adults. These results provide an evidence base for future sales strategies.
