Abstract
Various studies have shown that insomnia is associated with computer use. The Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS) is an 8-item tool that has been widely used for screening insomnia. No studies have investigated the psychometric validity of AIS in occupational computer users. the current research aimed to test the psychometric properties of the AIS among occupational computer users. Materials and Methods: a sample of four hundred and twenty-four occupational computer users (age: 20-65 years and body mass index: 21.6 ± 3.5 kg/m) completed an AIS and a socio-demographic questionnaire in this cross-sectional study. a confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated that the three-factor model had an adequate fit (the goodness of fit index (0.95), incremental fit index (0.90) and χ/df (2.61)). Evidence was found for configural, scalar and metric invariance of the 3-factor model across gender groups. A moderate level of internal consistency was implied by a Cronbach's alpha of 0.66. the findings of the present research support the validity of AIS for screening insomnia, as demonstrated by the scale's psychometric properties; its internal consistency, internal homogeneity, item discrimination, and factorial validity.
