Correlation Analysis of Mental Health Status and Sleep Quality in Helicobacter pylori Positive Patients

Abstract

Objective: To analyze the correlation between mental health and sleep quality in Helicobacter pylori Positive Patients (Hp-positive patients). Methods: Patients with 13C exhalation test stomach discomfort were taken as the subjects of study. The gastrointestinal symptoms table, Kessler10 scale and Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) scale questionnaires were used. Single factor and multi-factor linear regression analysis was performed using SPSS 22.0. Results: Univariate analysis showed that Kessler10 scale was related to 11 factors, including sex, drinking, preference for spicy food, current Hp situation, abdominal pain, abdominal distension, acid regurgitation, heartburn, belching, severity of gastrointestinal tract, and frequency of gastrointestinal attacks. The difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that Hp (P = 0.00) and gastrointestinal attack frequency (P = 0.002) were the influencing factors (P < 0.05). In addition, univariate analysis showed that PSQI scale was related to 10 factors, namely gender, preference for spicy food, current Hp situation, abdominal pain, abdominal distension, acid regurgitation, diarrhea, belching, severity of gastrointestinal tract and frequency of gastrointestinal attack, with statistically significant difference (P < 0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that gender (P = 0.009), current Hp situation (P = 0.020) and gastrointestinal attack frequency (P = 0.043) were the influencing factors (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Helicobacter pylori infection affects the mental health and sleep quality of patients.
