Abstract

Abstract Background This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of sleep disorders and examine its associations with anxiety and depression symptoms among male detoxification patients under compulsory isolation in Yunnan Province, China. Methods Data were collected from a cross-sectional health interview and examination survey of 1,021 drug users among male detoxification patients under compulsory isolation in China. Sleep disorders, anxiety, and depressionsymptoms were evaluated using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Zung’s Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), and the Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS), respectively. Sleep disorders and anxiety and depression symptoms were evaluated using multivariate logistic regression. Results The prevalence of sleep disorders, anxiety, and depression symptoms were 73.0%, 8.9%, and 6.9%, respectively. Ethnic minorities, participants with a lower level of education, and participants with poor health status by self-assessment had a higher prevalence of sleep disorders than their counterparts ( P <0.05). Participants who consumed ephedrine had the highest prevalence of sleep disorders ( P <0.05), while those who consumed heroin had the highest prevalence of anxiety symptoms ( P <0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis uncovered that those with sleep disorders had a greater probability of having anxiety (OR=2.310; 95% CI: 1.116 to 4.783) and depression symptoms (OR=4.683; 95% CI: 1.664 to 13.180). Conclusions Male detoxification patients under compulsory isolation in China experience a high level of sleep disorders, and their sleep disorders are significantly associated with anxiety and depression symptoms. Improving sleep quality may reduce the prevalence of anxiety and depression symptoms in the male detoxification patient population.

Sleep disorders anxiety symptoms depression symptoms male detoxification compulsory isolations China Introduction While the number of drug abusers worldwide has been on an upward trend, increasing from 240 million in 2011 to 296 million in 2021[ 1 ], in China the number of illicit drug users has steadily declined over the past five years, from 2.4 million in 2018 to 896,000 in 2023[ 2 , 3 ]. In 2023, a total of 36,000 people were required to undergo compulsory isolated drug detoxification in China, marking a year-on-year decrease of 14.1% [ 4 ]. Previous studies indicate that the prevalence of sleep disorders is higher among substance abusers [ 5 ]. Sleep disorders are often seen in those with substance use disorders during periods of active use as well as during detoxification and recovery [ 6 ]. Meanwhile, there is a growing recognition that psychostimulant abuse (such as methamphetamine and cocaine use) [ 7 , 8 ] as well as narcotics abuse (such as heroin and marijuana use) [ 8 , 9 ] both have adverse impacts on sleep, manifesting as disorders including insomnia, hypersomnia, Circadian rhythm disturbance, and daytime dysfunction[ 8 , 9 ]. Different types of drug abuse have varying impacts on sleep disorders. However, there is a lack of both comparative analyses of sleep disorders between single and polydrug users, as well as a lack of analyses of different types of single drug users among compulsory drug detoxification populations, including in China. Previous research demonstrates that drug abuse increases the risk of developing psychological disorders, and the risk of anxiety and depression rises with increasing dose and duration of drug use[ 10 ]. Globally, approximately 64 million people live with substance use disorders [ 1 ], and major anxiety disorders and depressive disorders are the most common psychiatric complications among those addicted to drugs [ 1 ]. Biologically, several neurotransmitter systems are critically involved in the regulation of sleep, anxiety, and depression[ 11 , 12 ]. While many drugs induce neurotoxic effects on the nervous system, their mechanisms of action differ significantly, and drug withdrawal symptoms vary depending on the specific pharmacological pathways involved[ 13 ]. Quality sleep is essential for the regulation of negative emotion and mental health. The co-occurrence of sleep disorders with various psychiatric conditions, including anxiety and depression, has been established in previous research[ 14 ]. The relationship is bi-directional: not only is sleep disturbance a phenotypic characteristic of various psychiatric illnesses, but it also may induce and exacerbate psychiatric illnesses[ 14 ]. In China, compulsory drug detoxification treatment is the primary method of drug rehabilitation. Previous Chinese studies indicate that prevalence of sleep disorders and anxiety and depression symptoms were higher among individuals under compulsory drug detoxification isolation (19.0%, 5.0%, and 3.6%, respectively) than in the general population [ 15 , 16 ]. These symptoms were most likely to arise during the period of acute withdrawal. However, during the later periods of rehabilitation, a degree of symptom mitigation was likely to occur[ 4 ]. In addition, drug users who are undergoing compulsory detoxification often experience sleep disorders, anxiety, and depression[ 5 , 7 , 17 ]. These conditions may interact to form a vicious cycle, reducing the effectiveness of rehabilitation and increasing the risk of relapse [ 14 , 18 , 19 ]. However, most studies on compulsory drug detoxification populations have focused solely on analyzing the prevalence of sleep disorders or mental health [ 5 , 7 , 17 ]. The interactions of sleep disorders and anxiety and depression symptoms have not been comprehensively examined among this population in China, and the relationships between sleep disorders and the symptoms of anxiety and depression were unclear. Yunnan Province, adjacent to the “Golden Triangle”, a major drug production region, has one of the highest populations of illicit drug users in China[ 20 ]. Although drug-related cross-border criminal activities are active in Yunnan and the problem of polydrug use remains[ 20 ], in recent years, both drug-related crime and the number of illicit drug users have steadily declined, and cross-border drug infiltration risks have been effectively curbed. The current population of drug users has dropped from 81,000 in 2023 to 70,000 in 2024, and the number of drug users under compulsory drug detoxification also decreased from 2023 to 2024[ 21 ]. However, evidence of possible relationships between sleep disorders and the symptoms of anxiety and depression among detoxification patients under compulsory isolation is lacking in China, especially epidemiological studies with large participant populations. Thus, the present study aimed to analyze the prevalence of sleep disorders and associations with anxiety and depression symptoms among male detoxification patients under compulsory isolation in Yunnan Province, China. Methods Data sources and study population This study was conducted in male compulsory isolation sites in Yunnan Province from 2023 to 2024 using a compulsory isolations-based, cross-sectional health interview survey. A two-stage cluster sampling method was applied to select study participants from eighteen male compulsory isolation sites. First, eighteen male compulsory isolation sites in Yunnan were classified into five categories based on geographical location: central, northern, southern, western, and eastern. One compulsory isolation site was chosen by probability proportional to size (PPS) from each of these five categories, for a total of five compulsory isolation sites. Second, cluster sampling method was used to select eligible male detoxification patients from each of the five compulsory isolation sites to participate in this study. Data collection and measurement All consenting participants were interviewed by trained interviewers in person, face-to-face, using a structured, pre-tested questionnaire to collect demographic information (sex, age, ethnicity, residence, marital status, and education level), self-assessment of health status, and types and duration of drug use. Sleep quality was assessed by Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) [ 22 ]. PSQI consists of 19 items and seven components, including subjective sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep duration, habitual sleep efficiency, sleep disturbances, use of sleep medication, and daytime dysfunction. Each component is scored from 0 to 3 points, and the seven components score then summed to obtain a total score, from 0 to 21; a higher PSQI score indicates poorer sleep quality. Anxiety and depression symptoms were evaluated using the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS)[ 23 , 24 ], respectively. Each scale consists of 20 items rated on a 4-point scale ranging from 1 point ("Not at all or a little of the time") to 4 points ("Most or all of the time"), with positively worded items directly scored and reverse-worded items reverse-scored. The raw total score ranges from 20 to 80 points, and the standard score is obtained by multiplying the raw total score by 1.25. Drug abuse was evaluated by Drug Abuse Screening Test-10 (DAST-10), with a total score ranging from 0 to 10 [ 25 ]. Higher total scores indicate a higher level of drug abuse. All information obtained in the interview was recorded based on the self-report of participants. Definitions Sleep disorders were considered PSQI scores of > 7. Anxiety symptoms were defined as SAS standard score of ≥ 50, while depression symptoms were defined as having an SDS standard score of ≥ 53, all scores specific to the Chinese population[ 26 ]. Polydrug use was defined as the consumption of more than one type of drug, according to the WHO definition [ 27 ]. Drug abuse was classified into two levels: low and moderate to severe. Low refers to DAST-10 score ranges from 0 to 2, while moderate to severe was indicated by a DAST-10 score ranging from 3 to 10. Ethnicity was divided into two groups: Han majority and ethnic minority. China officially recognizes 56 distinct ethnic groups under its national classification system. Ethnic minority refers to distinct ethnic groups that exhibit substantial differences with the Han majority population in language, religion, culture, and settlement patterns. In this study, the ethnic minority group included participants of 13 ethnic minorities: Hui, Hani, Dai, Yi, Bai, Bulang, Zang, Jingbo, Lahu, Naxi, Va, Yao, and Zhuang. Ethics approval The Ethics Committee of Kunming Medical University approved this study prior to the commencement of research (Approval No. KMMU2024MEC241). Informed consent was obtained in writing from all study participants. Statistical analysis Data analyses were conducted using SPSS24.0 software. Categorical variables were described as counts and percentages. A chi-squared test was used to compare categorical variables among different groups. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the associations of sleep disorders with anxiety and depression symptoms, after adjusting for age, ethnicity, level of education, self-assessment of health status, and type and duration of drug use. Associations were expressed as odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). All of the statistical significance determinations were grounded in two-tailed P values of < 0.05. Results In total, 1040 male detoxification patients under compulsory isolation were invited to participate in the survey. Of these, 1021 consented, resulting in an overall response rate of 98.17%. Table 1 shows general characteristics of the study population. In total, 597 (58.5%) of participants were Han majority ethnicity and 424 (41.5%) were ethnic minorities. Of these study participants, 26.5% were polydrug users and 73.5% were single drug users. The proportion of individuals aged 25–44 years, residing in rural areas, with an education level of primary or below, an unemployed status, and marital status of single, divorced, or widowed was 61.9%, 80.6%, 49.2%, 17.6%, and 66.4%, respectively. Heroin was the most prevalent form of single drug consumption (35.0%), followed by ephedrine (26.6%) and methamphetamine (7.3%).

Furthermore, sleep disorders were independently correlated with a higher risk of having anxiety and depression symptoms. In this study, the prevalence of sleep disorders among male detoxification patients under compulsory isolation was significantly higher than in the general Chinese population [ 15 ], among detoxification patients under compulsory isolation centers in Changsha and Beijing [ 5 , 28 ], and among drug users in residential centers for the treatment of drug use in Iran, Jordan, and Vietnam[ 29 – 31 ]. However, it was lower than among drug users undergoing treatment or recovery in the United States, Taiwan, Germany, and Thailand [ 32 – 35 ]. This result possibly can be attributed to disparities in drug control policies, demographic characteristics, types of drug use, and detoxification and rehabilitation methodologies across nations, leading to differential outcomes in sleep quality among the drug use population. Furthermore, the prevalence of sleep disorders varied among single drug use groups, consistent with previous studies[ 5 , 7 ]. This may be related to disparities in neurotransmitter dysregulation and structural and functional impairments caused by different drugs [ 36 ]. The results of the study reveal that ethnic minority male detoxification patients and those with a lower level of education had a higher prevalence of sleep disorders than their counterparts. This may result from the fact that ethnic minorities may face pressures from family conflicts, poorer social adaptability, and intensified job-seeking stress, which may cumulatively exacerbate sleep disorders[ 37 ]. Meanwhile, individuals with lower educational attainment demonstrate diminished health awareness, greater economic pressure, disadvantaged sleep environments, and elevated prevalence of sleep disorders[ 38 ]. Consistent with previous research[ 39 ], poor health status by self-assessment correlated with sleep disorders, potentially mediated by somatic discomfort, anxiety, and depression symptoms, which are associated with a higher prevalence of sleep disorders. In this study, the prevalence of anxiety and depression was slightly higher than in the general population in China[ 16 ], but lower than found in previous research on detoxification patients in five compulsory isolation centers in China[ 40 ], and among drug users undergoing treatment or recovery in the United States, Saudi Arabia, India and Myanmar[ 41 – 44 ]. This possibly relates to the effects of intervention strategies in the study population and the extension of services of compulsory drug rehabilitation centers in recent years. Measures such as providing vocational training, regular family visitation and guidance, and psychological intervention to individuals undergoing compulsory detoxification have substantially enhanced reintegration into society, concurrently contributing to the alleviation of anxiety and depression symptoms[ 4 , 21 , 45 ]. Our study found that heroin users had the highest prevalence of anxiety symptoms. This result is inconsistent with a previous study that found that methamphetamine users had higher anxiety scores than heroin users[ 46 ]. This possibly results from the fact that heroin users tend to be of older age and tend to have a longer duration of drug use, whereas ephedrine and methamphetamine users are predominantly younger with shorter duration of drug use[ 2 , 3 ]. The abuse of heroin, ephedrine, and methamphetamine is linked to drug-induced psychosis[ 46 ], but the differences in their neurobiological mechanisms remain poorly understood. Individuals with drug use disorders have varying degrees of emotional regulation impairments depending on the drug involved, and are more prone to develop anxiety and other negative emotions compared to the general population[ 40 ]. Consistent with previous research, the findings of this study indicated that the prevalence of anxiety and depression increased with age as well as the duration of drug use [ 10 , 47 ]. Chronic drug use may lead to altered cerebral hemodynamics, reduced density of brain dopamine transporter, and neurobiological disturbance, potentially contributing to the neurobiological vulnerability underlying drug induced psychotic disorders[ 48 ]. Poor health status by self-assessment has been demonstrated to have significant associations with symptoms of anxiety [ 49 ]. Those with poor health status by self-assessment may demonstrate a cluster of risk factors, including older age, extended duration of drug use, a suboptimal physical health profile, reduced health-rated quality of life, and compromised psychosocial functioning. These interrelated risk factors may synergistically predispose individuals to heightened vulnerability to anxiety symptoms or aggravate pre-existing symptomatology. Our data also showed that the prevalence of anxiety and depression was higher among individuals with sleep disorders. The association between sleep disorders and mental health symptoms remained significant even after adjusting for other potential confounding factors. Sleep disorders can impair emotional regulation, increasing the risk of anxiety and depression[ 50 ]. Meanwhile, in this study, sleep disorders were more common among individuals undergoing compulsory drug detoxification. As sleep disorders exacerbate the effects of anxiety and depression, future psychological interventions should integrate sleep disorder treatments into mental health services, while concurrently mitigating sleep-related adverse impacts on psychological well-being. The findings are limited in several respects. First, the level of drug abuse was evaluated using DAST-10, which lacks an objective measure of drug use frequency and dosage levels. Second, the assessment of sleep disorders and anxiety and depression symptoms relied exclusively on subjective reports, lacking an objective monitoring and evaluation of sleep patterns and of psychological symptoms. Third, the study was cross-sectional in design, so causal relationships cannot be determined. Finally, this study lacks comparative analysis with non-drug using populations in the local region, which limits the generalizability of the research findings. Conclusion Sleep disorders have strong impacts on anxiety and depression symptoms among male detoxification patients under compulsory isolation in Yunnan Province, China. Our findings highlight that future anxiety and depression interventions should take sleep quality into account.

China","fulltext":[{"header":"Introduction","content":"\u003cp\u003eWhile the number of drug abusers worldwide has been on an upward trend, increasing from 240\u0026nbsp;million in 2011 to 296\u0026nbsp;million in 2021[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR1\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e1\u003c/span\u003e], in China the number of illicit drug users has steadily declined over the past five years, from 2.4\u0026nbsp;million in 2018 to 896,000 in 2023[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR2\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR3\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e3\u003c/span\u003e]. In 2023, a total of 36,000 people were required to undergo compulsory isolated drug detoxification in China, marking a year-on-year decrease of 14.1% [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR4\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e4\u003c/span\u003e].\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrevious studies indicate that the prevalence of sleep disorders is higher among substance abusers [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR5\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e5\u003c/span\u003e]. Sleep disorders are often seen in those with substance use disorders during periods of active use as well as during detoxification and recovery [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR6\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e6\u003c/span\u003e]. Meanwhile, there is a growing recognition that psychostimulant abuse (such as methamphetamine and cocaine use) [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR7\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e7\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR8\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e8\u003c/span\u003e] as well as narcotics abuse (such as heroin and marijuana use) [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR8\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e8\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR9\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e9\u003c/span\u003e] both have adverse impacts on sleep, manifesting as disorders including insomnia, hypersomnia, Circadian rhythm disturbance, and daytime dysfunction[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR8\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e8\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR9\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e9\u003c/span\u003e].\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDifferent types of drug abuse have varying impacts on sleep disorders. However, there is a lack of both comparative analyses of sleep disorders between single and polydrug users, as well as a lack of analyses of different types of single drug users among compulsory drug detoxification populations, including in China.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrevious research demonstrates that drug abuse increases the risk of developing psychological disorders, and the risk of anxiety and depression rises with increasing dose and duration of drug use[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR10\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e10\u003c/span\u003e]. Globally, approximately 64\u0026nbsp;million people live with substance use disorders [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR1\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e1\u003c/span\u003e], and major anxiety disorders and depressive disorders are the most common psychiatric complications among those addicted to drugs [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR1\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e1\u003c/span\u003e]. Biologically, several neurotransmitter systems are critically involved in the regulation of sleep, anxiety, and depression[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR11\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e11\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR12\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e12\u003c/span\u003e]. While many drugs induce neurotoxic effects on the nervous system, their mechanisms of action differ significantly, and drug withdrawal symptoms vary depending on the specific pharmacological pathways involved[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR13\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e13\u003c/span\u003e]. Quality sleep is essential for the regulation of negative emotion and mental health. The co-occurrence of sleep disorders with various psychiatric conditions, including anxiety and depression, has been established in previous research[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR14\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e14\u003c/span\u003e]. The relationship is bi-directional: not only is sleep disturbance a phenotypic characteristic of various psychiatric illnesses, but it also may induce and exacerbate psychiatric illnesses[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR14\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e14\u003c/span\u003e].\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn China, compulsory drug detoxification treatment is the primary method of drug rehabilitation. Previous Chinese studies indicate that prevalence of sleep disorders and anxiety and depression symptoms were higher among individuals under compulsory drug detoxification isolation (19.0%, 5.0%, and 3.6%, respectively) than in the general population [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR15\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e15\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR16\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e16\u003c/span\u003e]. These symptoms were most likely to arise during the period of acute withdrawal. However, during the later periods of rehabilitation, a degree of symptom mitigation was likely to occur[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR4\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e4\u003c/span\u003e]. In addition, drug users who are undergoing compulsory detoxification often experience sleep disorders, anxiety, and depression[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR5\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e5\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR7\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e7\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR17\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e17\u003c/span\u003e]. These conditions may interact to form a vicious cycle, reducing the effectiveness of rehabilitation and increasing the risk of relapse [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR14\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e14\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR18\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e18\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR19\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e19\u003c/span\u003e].\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHowever, most studies on compulsory drug detoxification populations have focused solely on analyzing the prevalence of sleep disorders or mental health [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR5\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e5\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR7\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e7\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR17\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e17\u003c/span\u003e]. The interactions of sleep disorders and anxiety and depression symptoms have not been comprehensively examined among this population in China, and the relationships between sleep disorders and the symptoms of anxiety and depression were unclear.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYunnan Province, adjacent to the “Golden Triangle”, a major drug production region, has one of the highest populations of illicit drug users in China[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR20\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e20\u003c/span\u003e]. Although drug-related cross-border criminal activities are active in Yunnan and the problem of polydrug use remains[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR20\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e20\u003c/span\u003e], in recent years, both drug-related crime and the number of illicit drug users have steadily declined, and cross-border drug infiltration risks have been effectively curbed. The current population of drug users has dropped from 81,000 in 2023 to 70,000 in 2024, and the number of drug users under compulsory drug detoxification also decreased from 2023 to 2024[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR21\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e21\u003c/span\u003e]. However, evidence of possible relationships between sleep disorders and the symptoms of anxiety and depression among detoxification patients under compulsory isolation is lacking in China, especially epidemiological studies with large participant populations. Thus, the present study aimed to analyze the prevalence of sleep disorders and associations with anxiety and depression symptoms among male detoxification patients under compulsory isolation in Yunnan Province, China.\u003c/p\u003e"},{"header":"Methods","content":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eData sources and study population\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis study was conducted in male compulsory isolation sites in Yunnan Province from 2023 to 2024 using a compulsory isolations-based, cross-sectional health interview survey. A two-stage cluster sampling method was applied to select study participants from eighteen male compulsory isolation sites. First, eighteen male compulsory isolation sites in Yunnan were classified into five categories based on geographical location: central, northern, southern, western, and eastern. One compulsory isolation site was chosen by probability proportional to size (PPS) from each of these five categories, for a total of five compulsory isolation sites.

Sleep quality was assessed by Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR22\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e22\u003c/span\u003e]. PSQI consists of 19 items and seven components, including subjective sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep duration, habitual sleep efficiency, sleep disturbances, use of sleep medication, and daytime dysfunction. Each component is scored from 0 to 3 points, and the seven components score then summed to obtain a total score, from 0 to 21; a higher PSQI score indicates poorer sleep quality. Anxiety and depression symptoms were evaluated using the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS)[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR23\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e23\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR24\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e24\u003c/span\u003e], respectively. Each scale consists of 20 items rated on a 4-point scale ranging from 1 point (\"Not at all or a little of the time\") to 4 points (\"Most or all of the time\"), with positively worded items directly scored and reverse-worded items reverse-scored. The raw total score ranges from 20 to 80 points, and the standard score is obtained by multiplying the raw total score by 1.25. Drug abuse was evaluated by Drug Abuse Screening Test-10 (DAST-10), with a total score ranging from 0 to 10 [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR25\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e25\u003c/span\u003e].

Furthermore, sleep disorders were independently correlated with a higher risk of having anxiety and depression symptoms.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this study, the prevalence of sleep disorders among male detoxification patients under compulsory isolation was significantly higher than in the general Chinese population [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR15\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e15\u003c/span\u003e], among detoxification patients under compulsory isolation centers in Changsha and Beijing [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR5\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e5\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR28\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e28\u003c/span\u003e], and among drug users in residential centers for the treatment of drug use in Iran, Jordan, and Vietnam[\u003cspan additionalcitationids=\"CR30\" citationid=\"CR29\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e29\u003c/span\u003e\u0026ndash;\u003cspan citationid=\"CR31\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e31\u003c/span\u003e].

This result possibly can be attributed to disparities in drug control policies, demographic characteristics, types of drug use, and detoxification and rehabilitation methodologies across nations, leading to differential outcomes in sleep quality among the drug use population. Furthermore, the prevalence of sleep disorders varied among single drug use groups, consistent with previous studies[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR5\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e5\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR7\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e7\u003c/span\u003e]. This may be related to disparities in neurotransmitter dysregulation and structural and functional impairments caused by different drugs [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR36\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e36\u003c/span\u003e].\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe results of the study reveal that ethnic minority male detoxification patients and those with a lower level of education had a higher prevalence of sleep disorders than their counterparts. This may result from the fact that ethnic minorities may face pressures from family conflicts, poorer social adaptability, and intensified job-seeking stress, which may cumulatively exacerbate sleep disorders[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR37\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e37\u003c/span\u003e]. Meanwhile, individuals with lower educational attainment demonstrate diminished health awareness, greater economic pressure, disadvantaged sleep environments, and elevated prevalence of sleep disorders[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR38\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e38\u003c/span\u003e]. Consistent with previous research[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR39\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e39\u003c/span\u003e], poor health status by self-assessment correlated with sleep disorders, potentially mediated by somatic discomfort, anxiety, and depression symptoms, which are associated with a higher prevalence of sleep disorders.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this study, the prevalence of anxiety and depression was slightly higher than in the general population in China[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR16\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e16\u003c/span\u003e], but lower than found in previous research on detoxification patients in five compulsory isolation centers in China[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR40\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e40\u003c/span\u003e], and among drug users undergoing treatment or recovery in the United States, Saudi Arabia, India and Myanmar[\u003cspan additionalcitationids=\"CR42 CR43\" citationid=\"CR41\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e41\u003c/span\u003e\u0026ndash;\u003cspan citationid=\"CR44\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e44\u003c/span\u003e]. This possibly relates to the effects of intervention strategies in the study population and the extension of services of compulsory drug rehabilitation centers in recent years. Measures such as providing vocational training, regular family visitation and guidance, and psychological intervention to individuals undergoing compulsory detoxification have substantially enhanced reintegration into society, concurrently contributing to the alleviation of anxiety and depression symptoms[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR4\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e4\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR21\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e21\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR45\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e45\u003c/span\u003e].\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur study found that heroin users had the highest prevalence of anxiety symptoms. This result is inconsistent with a previous study that found that methamphetamine users had higher anxiety scores than heroin users[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR46\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e46\u003c/span\u003e]. This possibly results from the fact that heroin users tend to be of older age and tend to have a longer duration of drug use, whereas ephedrine and methamphetamine users are predominantly younger with shorter duration of drug use[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR2\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR3\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e3\u003c/span\u003e]. The abuse of heroin, ephedrine, and methamphetamine is linked to drug-induced psychosis[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR46\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e46\u003c/span\u003e], but the differences in their neurobiological mechanisms remain poorly understood. Individuals with drug use disorders have varying degrees of emotional regulation impairments depending on the drug involved, and are more prone to develop anxiety and other negative emotions compared to the general population[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR40\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e40\u003c/span\u003e].\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConsistent with previous research, the findings of this study indicated that the prevalence of anxiety and depression increased with age as well as the duration of drug use [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR10\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e10\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR47\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e47\u003c/span\u003e]. Chronic drug use may lead to altered cerebral hemodynamics, reduced density of brain dopamine transporter, and neurobiological disturbance, potentially contributing to the neurobiological vulnerability underlying drug induced psychotic disorders[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR48\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e48\u003c/span\u003e]. Poor health status by self-assessment has been demonstrated to have significant associations with symptoms of anxiety [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR49\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e49\u003c/span\u003e]. Those with poor health status by self-assessment may demonstrate a cluster of risk factors, including older age, extended duration of drug use, a suboptimal physical health profile, reduced health-rated quality of life, and compromised psychosocial functioning. These interrelated risk factors may synergistically predispose individuals to heightened vulnerability to anxiety symptoms or aggravate pre-existing symptomatology.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur data also showed that the prevalence of anxiety and depression was higher among individuals with sleep disorders. The association between sleep disorders and mental health symptoms remained significant even after adjusting for other potential confounding factors. Sleep disorders can impair emotional regulation, increasing the risk of anxiety and depression[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR50\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e50\u003c/span\u003e]. Meanwhile, in this study, sleep disorders were more common among individuals undergoing compulsory drug detoxification. As sleep disorders exacerbate the effects of anxiety and depression, future psychological interventions should integrate sleep disorder treatments into mental health services, while concurrently mitigating sleep-related adverse impacts on psychological well-being.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe findings are limited in several respects. First, the level of drug abuse was evaluated using DAST-10, which lacks an objective measure of drug use frequency and dosage levels. Second, the assessment of sleep disorders and anxiety and depression symptoms relied exclusively on subjective reports, lacking an objective monitoring and evaluation of sleep patterns and of psychological symptoms. Third, the study was cross-sectional in design, so causal relationships cannot be determined. Finally, this study lacks comparative analysis with non-drug using populations in the local region, which limits the generalizability of the research findings.\u003c/p\u003e"},{"header":"Conclusion","content":"\u003cp\u003eSleep disorders have strong impacts on anxiety and depression symptoms among male detoxification patients under compulsory isolation in Yunnan Province, China.
