An increase of one point on the anxiety scale (measured by BAI) raised the odds of poor sleep by 14%. The anxiety-poor sleep relationship was stronger in SOI-exposed caregivers (r=0.699) than in non-exposed ones (r=0.607). When age was controlled, the relationship strengthened among SOI-exposed individuals (r=0.722) but remained unchanged for non-exposed ones (r=0.608).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study shows that each point increase on the anxiety scale is associated with a 14% increase in the odds of poor sleep among family caregivers of psychiatric patients. The relationship between anxiety level and poor sleep quality was further elevated among individuals exposed to SOI. Providing family caregivers of psychiatric patients, especially those exposed to SOI, with coping strategies and sleep hygiene training can improve their anxiety and sleep quality and assist in
