DARIEN，IL。，2023年10月25日/PRNewswire/-美国睡眠医学会（AASM）发起了“提问”计划，帮助初级保健专业人员与患者谈论睡眠问题。这项工作是AASM全国公共教育运动“睡眠就是好药”的一部分，该运动正在提高人们对健康睡眠的价值和健康益处的认识。。

During audience research that supported the creation of the campaign, the AASM learned that many primary care professionals are hesitant to initiate conversations about sleep with their patients and want resources to help them address their patients' sleep concerns. This insight inspired AASM's new 'Ask One Question' initiative, which encourages primary care professionals to start the conversation by asking one simple question during visits: 'How is your sleep?'.

在支持创建活动的观众研究期间，AASM了解到，许多初级保健专业人员不愿意与患者就睡眠进行对话，并希望有资源帮助他们解决患者的睡眠问题。这种见解激发了AASM新的“提出一个问题”倡议，该倡议鼓励初级保健专业人员在访问期间提出一个简单的问题来开始对话：“你的睡眠怎么样？”。

'Primary care professionals are on the frontlines of our efforts to enhance sleep health to improve lives,' said AASM President Dr. James Rowley. 'We want to equip primary care professionals with the resources they need to feel confident in discussing sleep-related concerns so that they can provide recommendations to improve sleep habits and refer patients to an accredited sleep center when specialized expertise is needed.'.

AASM总裁詹姆斯·罗利博士说：“初级保健专业人员处于我们努力改善睡眠健康以改善生活的前线。”我们希望为初级保健专业人员提供他们讨论睡眠相关问题所需的资源，以便他们能够提供改善睡眠习惯的建议，并在需要专业知识时将患者转介到经过认证的睡眠中心。

Despite the proven health benefits of regular, quality sleep, many Americans are not getting enough of it. In fact, nearly 28% of adults report getting less than the recommended seven or more hours of sleep per day, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. There are many factors that can impact sleep quality and quantity, such as working early in the morning or later at night, caring for a new baby, or experiencing a sleep disorder such as obstructive sleep apnea or chronic insomnia..

尽管有规律的优质睡眠证明对健康有益，但许多美国人还没有得到足够的睡眠。事实上，根据中心的数据，近28%的成年人报告每天睡眠时间少于建议的7小时或更长时间。疾病控制和预防。影响睡眠质量和数量的因素有很多，比如清晨或深夜工作，照顾新生婴儿，或出现阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停或慢性失眠等睡眠障碍。。

The 'Ask One Question' initiative offers resources in English and Spanish to help primary care professionals feel more equipped to talk about sleep with their patients. Resources include a questionnaire with three questions to assess patients' sleep, content to share on social media, and a downloadable poster for waiting and exam rooms.

“问一个问题”倡议提供英文和西班牙文资源，帮助初级保健专业人员感觉更有能力与患者谈论睡眠。资源包括一个问卷，其中包含三个问题，用于评估患者的睡眠，在社交媒体上共享的内容以及可下载的候诊室和检查室海报。
