Abstract：Objective:To explore the independent and combined effects of personality traits on sleep quality in male and female infertile patients,and the moderating effect of mindfulness on the relationship.Methods:Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index,Five-Factor Inventory and Short Inventory of Mindfulness Capability were used to investigate 360 male and 380 female infertility patients.Results:Only neuroticism was correlated with sleep quality in infertile patients(P<0.01).The combination of personality traits,whether high neuroticism or low extraversion or low conscientiousness was associated with poor sleep quality in male infertility patients(P<0.05).While the combination of high neuroticism was associated with poor sleep quality in female patients(P<0.05).Mindfulness moderated the relationship between neuroticism and sleep quality only in female infertility patients(P<0.01).Conclusion:It suggests that neuroticism and its combination of personality traits are associated with sleep quality in infertile patients,and mindfulness moderates the relationship between neuroticism and sleep quality in women.
