Abstract

General Background :Depression and sleep disturbances are major global health challenges that often co-occur, each worsening the other and contributing to a high disease burden. Specific Background : While existing studies confirm their bidirectional relationship, limited evidence explores how specific sleep parameters independently influence depression severity. Knowledge Gap : Current research often treats sleep problems as a single construct, overlooking domain-specific contributions such as sleep duration, efficiency, and latency. Aims : This study aimed to assess the prevalence of sleep disturbances and measure their relationship with the severity of depression among psychiatric patients using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II). Results :In a cross-sectional analysis of 250 participants, 84% exhibited poor sleep quality and 92% displayed depressive symptoms, with 40% classified as severe. All PSQI domains showed significant correlations with BDI-II scores (p < 0.001), indicating a progressive relationship between deteriorating sleep and increasing depression severity. Novelty : This study provides comprehensive empirical evidence linking distinct sleep parameters to depression severity, highlighting that sleep quality deterioration parallels depression progression. Implications :These findings underscore the need for integrated interventions targeting both conditions and support routine sleep quality screening as a critical component of depression management and prevention strategies.Highlight : Most participants (84%) showed poor sleep quality with severe depression levels. There is a significant correlation between all sleep domains and depression severity. Improving sleep quality may help reduce depressive symptoms effectively.

Abstract

Background: Population ageing represents one of the most significant demographic shifts of the 21st century, with older adults facing profound social and psychological transitions following retirement. Specific Background: Retirement marks a critical life phase characterized by shifts in income, identity, and social roles, requiring adaptive coping mechanisms to maintain well-being. Knowledge Gap: While global research has explored retirement adjustment, limited studies in Iraq have examined how elderly populations cope with this transition and their awareness of retirement-related issues. Aims: This study aimed to assess coping strategies among retired older adults and evaluate their knowledge regarding retirement. Results: Using a descriptive design and a purposive sample of 100 retired individuals, the findings revealed that 70% lacked awareness of the legal retirement age, and 55.5% actively employed coping strategies, predominantly passive mechanisms such as avoidance or dependence reduction. Novelty: The study offers one of the first localized insights into Iraqi retirees’ psychological and behavioral adjustments to retirement, emphasizing the socio-cultural influences on coping behavior. Implications: The findings underscore the need for public education, psychosocial support programs, and policy initiatives that promote proactive coping and retirement preparedness among older adults to enhance post-retirement quality of life.Highlight : About 70% of seniors are unaware of the legal retirement age. Around 55.5% of elderly retirees use coping strategies for adjustment. Raising awareness through education and media can improve retirement coping.
