Linking stressful experiences to health disparities among sexual and gender minority individuals: The sleep deficiency pathway
——《健康心理学》2025年第44卷第3期 ——
【摘要】有充分证据表明，性少数群体和性别少数群体比异性恋者更容易遭遇家庭关系问题甚至身体暴力等压力体验。这些压力体验与睡眠不足以及睡眠不足对身心健康的因果关系也得到了充分证实。性少数群体和性别少数群体遭受多种健康差异也已得到证实。目前尚不清楚这些变量之间如何联系在一起。本文探讨了所谓的“睡眠不足途径”，即由少数群体压力引起和/或加剧的睡眠不足，可能反过来导致性少数群体和性别少数群体遭受重大健康差异。如果睡眠不足是从不良体验到健康差异的重要途径，那么使用有效的睡眠不足治疗方法可以改善睡眠数量和/或质量，从而改善性少数群体和性别少数群体的健康状况。

[Abstract] It is well documented that sexual and gender minority people encounter stressful experiences such as family relationship problems and even physical violence more often than do heterosexual people. The causal roles of such stressful experiences in sleep deficiency and of sleep deficiency in mental and physical health are also well documented. That sexual and gender minority individuals suffer multiple health disparities has also been established. What is not yet well understood is how these variables might be linked. This article explores what is called the “sleep deficiency pathway”—that is, that sleep deficiencies which can be caused by and/or exacerbated by minority stress may in turn contribute to significant health disparities experienced by sexual and gender minority people. If sleep deficiency is an important pathway from adverse experiences to health disparities, the use of effective treatments for sleep deficiencies could improve sleep quantity and/or quality, and in this way, enable better health among sexual and gender minority individuals.
