Individuals suffer from insomnia through the presence of extraneous thoughts. Furthermore, there are cognitive and behavioral aspects, which afflict a person when they have insomnia. In this context, there are strategies to address these thoughts. The Thought Control Questionnaire: Insomnia-Revised (TCQI-R) is a self-reporting instrument that aims to evaluate the strategies used by individuals to control their thoughts when suffering from insomnia. This study aimed to translate and adapt the TCQI-R to the Jordanian society. In this study, the questionnaire was applied to a sample of 361 participants aged between 19 and 61 years, of which 210 were women (58%). The principal component analysis determined five components: reappraisal, cognitive distraction, aggressive suppression, worry, and behavioral distraction. Each of the total scores of the questionnaire (α = 0.90) and its five components (Cronbach’s α between 0.75 and 0.83) demonstrated high internal consistency. The results of the triple analysis of variance established that the instrument can distinguish between depressed and non-depressed people, anxious and non-anxious people, and people who suffer from insomnia and those who do not. Additionally, the results revealed significant statistical correlations between each of the total scores of the questionnaire and its five components as well as with the related scales. Finally, multiple regression analysis demonstrated the ability of the TCQI-R to predict depression, anxiety, and insomnia, and the prediction ratio for the overall score were 32.4%, 36.6%, and 42.6%, respectively. This indicates that worry and cognitive distraction were the most powerful strategies in dealing with insomnia. This instrument has the ability to assess and diagnose intrusive thoughts and adjust the strategies used to overcome insomnia.

个人因外在想法的存在而失眠。此外，还有认知和行为方面，当一个人失眠时会影响他们。在这种情况下，有一些策略可以解决这些想法。思想控制问卷：失眠修订版 (TCQI-R) 是一种自我报告工具，旨在评估个体在失眠时控制思想的策略。本研究旨在翻译和改编 TCQI-R 以适应约旦社会。在这项研究中，问卷调查的样本包括 361 名年龄在 19 至 61 岁之间的参与者，其中 210 名是女性（58%）。主成分分析确定了五个成分：重新评估、认知分心、攻击性抑制、担忧和行为分心。问卷的每个总分（α = 0.90）及其五个组成部分（Cronbach's α 介于 0.75 和 0.83 之间）都表现出高度的内部一致性。三重方差分析的结果表明，该工具可以区分抑郁和非抑郁、焦虑和非焦虑、失眠和不失眠的人。此外，结果显示问卷的每个总分与其五个组成部分以及相关量表之间存在显着的统计相关性。最后，多元回归分析证明了TCQI-R对抑郁、焦虑和失眠的预测能力，对总分的预测比分别为32.4%、36.6%和42.6%。这表明担忧和认知分心是应对失眠最有效的策略。该仪器具有评估和诊断侵入性思想并调整用于克服失眠症的策略的能力。
