Medical Outcomes Study Sleep Scale (MOS-SS)

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
STOP, THAT and One Hundred Other Sleep Scales

Abstract

The MOS-SS was created as part of a larger initiative to evaluate health status in a population of more than 10,000 patient participants. Consisting of 12 items, the sleep scale is only a small part of the complete Patient Assessment Questionnaire (PAQ), a 20-page instrument querying a broad range of health-related issues including physical functioning, psychological well-being, health distress, and pain. The sleep scale examines six factors: sleep initiation, maintenance, respiratory problems, quantity, perceived adequacy, and somnolence. The MOS-SS can be administered separately, or it can be used as part of a complete battery of testing to provide a more general picture of health.
