Factors Affecting Sleep Quality and Prenatal Distress Among Rural and Urban Women During Early Pregnancy.

Background Early pregnancy is characterized by the initiation of physiological and psychological changes, which places pregnant women at risk of psychological distress and poor sleep, which is known to cause adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of prenatal distress and sleep quality during early pregnancy and identify factors associated with prenatal distress among pregnant women from urban and rural settings. Methods The study was conducted with 325 pregnant women (175 rural, 150 urban) as a baseline assessment of theMAI (Mother and Infant) cohort, a longitudinal observational study in Pune, India. Data on sociodemography, anthropometry, clinical history, prenatal distress, and sleep quality were collected between August 2020 and March 2023. Mann Whitney U test and regression were used to assess correlates of sleep quality and prenatal distress. Results Over one-third (37.5%) (n=122) of women experienced prenatal distress. Women from rural areas reported a higher prevalence (40%) (n=70) of distress, and poorer sleep quality than urban women (51.4% (n=90) vs 38.7% (n=58)). High prenatal distress was moderately associated with poor sleep quality (ρ = 0.308, p = 0.001). After controlling for sociodemographic and clinical factors, high prenatal distress (B=2.63, 95% CI: 1.47-4.69) predicted poor sleep quality. Rural residence (OR: 6.37, 2.46-16.51), underweight BMI status (OR: 2.21, 0.97-5.05), presence of episodes of vomiting (OR: 1.70, 0.93-3.13), and poor sleep quality (OR: 0.74, 0.40-1.38) significantly (p<0.05) contributed to prenatal distress. Conclusion Prenatal distress and poor sleep quality are significant concerns for pregnant mothers globally and require early screening and management strategies to avoid adverse maternal and fetal outcomes.

Factors Affecting Sleep Quality among University Medical and Nursing Students: A Study in Two Countries in the Mediterranean Region.

Poor sleep quality, a global public health concern, poses a significant burden on individuals, particularly health care university students facing intense academic stress. A three-center cross-sectional study was conducted at the Higher Institute of Nursing and Health Sciences in Tetouan (Morocco), Faculty of Medicine in Tangier (Morocco) and Faculty of Nursing in Valencia (Spain). We collected various data using a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Pittsburgh sleep quality questionnaire, the international physical activity questionnaire (IPAQ) and the smartphone addiction questionnaire short-version (SAS-SV). A total of 1210 students were included in our study (mean age 20.4 years, 67.2% female, nursing students (66.2%) and medical students (33.8%), 76.1% students from Morocco and 33.9% from Spain). Analysis revealed a higher prevalence of poor sleep quality among Moroccans students compared to Spanish ones (p < 0.001), that nursing students showed less favorable sleep quality than medical students (p < 0.011) and that living with a chronic disease was linked to less favorable sleep quality (p < 0.001). Lastly, intense or weak physical activity and smartphone addiction were correlated with poor sleep quality (p < 0.001). In the multivariate analysis, an association persisted between poor sleep quality and factors such as the country of study (Odds ratio (OR): 6.25 [95% Confidence Interval (CI): 4.34-9.09]), involvement in nursing studies (OR: 3.50 [95% CI: 2.36-5.27]), and the presence of chronic diseases (OR: 2.70 [95% CI: 1.72-4.16]), (p < 0.01 each). Our findings highlight the multifaceted factors affecting sleep quality in young university students. The implications underscore the imperative of interventions tailored to this demographic group.

Determination of Factors Affecting Sleep Quality in Postoperative Patients and Improvement of Correctible Causes

Patients who had postoperative major abdominal surgery and major cardiovascular surgery were included in our study. A total of 103 patients were included in the study. Patients were evaluated with the Pitssburg sleep quality index questionnaire between five and seven days postoperatively. All questionnaires and scales were administered by the same researcher without specifying the participant's name in order to maintain consistency. After explaining the scope and purpose of the study, written consent of all participants was obtained. Pittsburg sleep quality index is a 19-item self-report scale that evaluates sleep quality and disorder. It consists of 24 questions, 19 questions are self-report questions, 5 questions are questions to be answered by the spouse or roommate. The 18 scored questions of the scale consist of 7 components. Subjective Sleep Quality, Sleep Latency, Sleep Duration, Habitual Sleep Efficiency, Sleep Disorder, Sleeping Drug Use, and Daytime Dysfunction. Each component is evaluated over 0-3 points. The total score of the 7 components gives the scale total score. The total score ranges from 0 to 21. A total score greater than 5 indicates "poor sleep quality". In our study, we aimed to investigate whether anesthetic agents, concomitant diseases, type of surgery, and some biochemical parameters affect sleep quality in postoperative patients. The diseases we investigated included hypertension, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, asthma, heart failure, cerebrovascular diseases, thyroid function disorders, diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney diseases, and chronic kidney failure. We also evaluated the sociocultural levels of the patients as an important part of the study. Educational status of our patients, literacy rates and occupations were also important to us. In our study, we showed that anesthetic agents [hypnotic and opioid] had no effect on sleep quality, and sleep quality was worse in cardiovascular surgery cases, although it was not statistically significant. We showed that a long operation time (5 hours and more) impairs postoperative sleep quality, thyroid diseases affect sleep quality badly, and sleep disorders are more common especially in patients with COPD. We think that sleep has a very important place in accelerating the recovery process of postoperative patients and that sleep disorders should be questioned better and that postoperative patients with sleep disorders should definitely seek psychological and medical help.

Factors Affecting Sleep Quality of College Students during the Coronavirus Disease 2019 Pandemic: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Background and Objectives: The purpose of this study was to identify the correlation between college students' fear of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), intolerance of uncertainty, and sleep quality during the COVID-19 pandemic, and to identify factors affecting sleep quality. Materials and Methods: Data were collected through an online survey of 310 college students from three universities located in three regions in Korea. Results: The average sleep quality score of college students was 4.76 ± 2.86 points, the average fear of COVID-19 was 14.01 ± 5.05 points, and the average intolerance of uncertainty was 31.50 ± 7.92 points. Fear of COVID-19 and intolerance of uncertainty were positively correlated (r = 0.302, p < 0.001). Sleep quality was positively correlated with fear of COVID-19 (r = 0.246, p < 0.001). Sleep quality was positively correlated with intolerance of uncertainty (r = 0.212, p < 0.001). Health status was the most powerful factor that affected sleep quality (β = 0.377, p < 0.001). The next most powerful factors that affected sleep quality were fear of COVID-19 (β = 0.164, p = 0.003) and intolerance of uncertainty (β = 0.122, p = 0.027), respectively. Conclusions: These results are expected to be used as basic data for the development of health intervention programs to protect and improve the psychological well-being of college students by improving their sleep quality.

Factors Affecting Sleep Quality in High School Students and its Relationship with Nomophobia

Objective: A good sleep quality is essential for biopsychosocial health. Studies show that most high school students have poor sleep quality, and recently, nomophobia has also become common in high school students. This study aims to determine the factors affecting sleep quality and its relationship with nomophobia among high school students. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in 428 high school students. Pittsburgh sleep quality index and nomophobia scale were used for data collection. Factors affecting sleep quality were evaluated with both univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses. Results: The sleep quality in 65.7% of students was poor. Poor sleep quality was found to be increased by 1.70 (1.04-2.81) times in females;6.82 (2.65-17.55) times in those having flu or other upper respiratory tract infections;3.17 (1.50-6.68) times in those with gastrointestinal disorders;4.40 (1.48-13.10) times in those overweight;and 2.99 (1.36- 6.57) times in those with severe nomophobia (p<0.05). Conclusion: Poor sleep quality in high school students is dramatic. Providing counselling on sleep hygiene, especially for risk groups and their families, will improve sleep quality among high school students.

Analysis of Impact Factors Affecting Sleep Quality among Community-Dwelling Elderly Individuals in The Chinese Community in Shanghai

Context: Insomnia is prevalent among elderly individuals and has become a public health problem receiving increasing concern. Low sleep quality is related to a number of negative health outcomes. Objective: This research aims to investigate the sleep status of community-dwelling elderly individuals (aged 60 years or older) in Shanghai, China, to explore the impact factors affecting sleep quality. Methods: One street in Shanghai city was randomly selected, and 50% of the elderly residents were randomly selected as participants for a total number of 9,616 people. Investigations were conducted by indoor surveys through home doctors and paper questionnaires. For statistical analysis, univariate and multivariate regression analysis and the Spearman correlation model were performed using SAS 9.4 to analyze the effects of the impact factors on the sleep quality of elderly individuals. Results: Sleep quality is greatly affected by physical pain in both the elderly individual and the individual’s spouse. Healthy elderly people tend to have better sleep quality, and the more chronic diseases an elderly individual suffers, the worse their sleep quality is. In addition, the physical pain of a cohabiting spouse is one of the most significant impact factors influencing sleep quality. Conclusion: We suggest that community-dwelling elderly people maintain moderate outdoor activities and a healthy mental state, which will improve their sleep quality.

There were 26 breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy at Djojonegoro Regional Hospital in Temanggung, Central Java. The characteristics of the respondent are recorded, including the demographic characteristics, respondents’ sleep quality, and the physiological status data of the respondent. The researchers use the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) to measure sleep quality. Data were analyzed using Kendall’s Tau and Spearman’s rank correlation test and the Pearson Product-Moment Correlation test. RESULTS: The result showed that breast cancer patients’ sleep quality is classified as poor with PSQI score of 10.96 ± 3.13. The average age of the respondent was 50.08 ± 7.31 years. The major characteristic of the respondent were 80.77% had married, 42.30% had elementary education, 61.54% did not work, and 61.54% had Rp 0, - income. Based on breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, the respondents lived in rice field environment (42.30%), diagnosed with breast cancer &lt;1 year (69.23%), had &lt;1 year chemotherapy (96.15%), had under mastectomy on the left breast (80.76%), and underwent chemotherapy as much as 7.23 ± 4.80 times. Based on sleep quality, the respondents lived with nuclear family (61.54%), had no comorbidities (76.92%), did not consume other drugs (100%), did not consume sleeping pills (80.76%), and used lights during sleep (65.38%). There is a correlation between sleep quality and age and with whom the respondent lives in the same house. CONCLUSION: It was concluded that breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy had poor sleep quality, and the factors related to sleep quality were age and with whom the respondent lived in the same house.

Factors Affecting Sleep Quality Among the University Students in Bangladesh: A Cross-Sectional Structured Interview Study

The main objective of the present study was to investigate the association of risk factors on sleep quality of Bangladeshi university students. A total of 332 students participated in a cross-sectional structured interview study. Utilizing the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, the overall prevalence of poor sleep quality among the students was 66.6%, and the prevalence was higher among the female students (81.4%). Females had a 4.1 times higher risk of having poor sleep quality (AOR = 4.12, 95% CI 2.15–7.86, p < .001). Students who usually slept less than 7 h at night had 8.4 times higher risk of being a poor sleeper (AOR = 8.41, 95% CI 4.42–16.01, p < .001) compared to those who slept 7 h or more at night. Duration of bedtime social media use was highly associated with poor sleep quality. Those who used social media 1 h or more before bedtime were 4.3 times more likely to have poor sleep quality compared to those who did not use social media at all before bedtime (AOR = 4.33, 95% CI 1.38–13.51, p = .012). Prevalence of poor sleep quality was found very high among the Bangladeshi university students. Being female, having less sleep a night, and spending more than an hour using social media before sleep were independent predictors of poor sleep quality.

Factors Affecting Sleep Quality of Clinical Nurses Working in a Hospital

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify factors affecting sleep quality in nurses working in a tertiary hospital in Korea. Methods: The sample of two hundred and sixty three nurses was drawn from one tertiary care hospital in Korea. Using a descriptive study design, clinical nurses completed the standardized questionnaires, including sleep quality, depressive symptoms, and resilience. Descriptive statistics were computed to describe the sample and study variables. Logistic regression analyses were used to identify factors affecting sleep quality which was classified into two categories. Results: A total of 263 registered nurses participated in this study. Most of the participants were female (n=252, 95.8%) and single (n=148, 75.9%), with a mean age of 30.09±7.51 years. The average score of sleep quality was 8.57±3.24. Using a cut-off point of 5.0, 84.0% (n=221) were poor sleepers. After controlling for demographic and job-related variables, the depressive symptoms and resilience were associated with poor sleep quality among clinical nurses (Odds Ratio [OR]=4.56, 95% Confidence Interval [CI]=1.02~20.49; OR=0.97, 95% CI=0.94~0.99, respectively). This model explained 19.5% of the variance in sleep quality. Conclusion: The two factors reported to impact the quality of sleep were increased depressive symptoms and lower resilience levels. In order to improve nurses’ sleep quality, researchers and nursing administrators need to develop and provide some strategies for decreasing depressive symptoms and enhancing their resilience.

Factors Affecting Sleep Quality among Adolescent Athletes

Objectives: This study used a cross-sectional experimental design to examine the association between sleep quality and sports performance among adolescent recreation team-sports athletes in Hong Kong. By investigating the factors that affect sleep quality, it intended to arouse awareness of coaches and athletes the importance of sleeping so that they can improve training and competition performance. Methods: Hundred and twelve male and female participants with age range from 12 to 17 were involved in this study. A One-way ANCOVA model was designed to analyze the relationships among sleep quality and five factors (consume of caffeine or alcohol, extreme mood, sleeping environment, anxiety due to academic, and anxiety due to sports) and multiple regression analysis was adopted to predict the sleep quality through the coefficient of those variables. Results: Consumption of drinks or food that contained caffeine or alcohol, experiencing extreme mood such as shock or being too excited before sleep and having a bright and noisy sleeping environment affected the sleep quality. Most student athletes were struggling between academic results and sports in Hong Kong. The results had shown that nervousness due to academic was another factor that affected sleep quality. It has also found that not only academic results could affect sleep quality of student-athletes, but also nervousness due to sports could also be another thrilling factor. There were significance effects among factors in “drinking/eating drinks/food which contains caffeine or alcohol”, “poor sleeping environment”, “sleeping duration”, and “self-rated sleep quality”. Conclusion: The preliminary findings provide evidence that majority of secondary student-athletes are suffering from inadequate sleep due to dreadful sleeping qualities, which caused adverse conditions both physically and psychologically, and brought worst impacts to training and competitions performance. It is recommended that sleep hygiene could be promoted to coaches and athletes to enrich their knowledge of having better sleeping patterns. Much needed evidence regarding relationships of different aspects such as brain wave, sleeping patterns, injuries, diet, and the possible effects on sleep quality.

Factors Affecting Sleep Quality in Women with Cancer Undergoing Radiotherapy

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the severity of subjective sleep quality and factors related to sleep disturbances in breast and gynecologic cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy. Methods: Ninety four women (68 breast cancer and 26 gynecologic cancer) undergoing radiotherapy were recruited and asked to complete the Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Piper Fatigue Scale, and Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale. The data were analyzed using χ2-test, t-test, ANOVA and logistic regression. Results: The average global PSQI score was 8.34± 4.41 and 70.2% of the patients reported poor sleep quality (PSQI> 5). There were significant differences between the poor sleepers and the good sleepers in concurrent chemo-radiotherapy (p= .022), number of radiation treatments (p=.013), total amount of radiation dosage (p=.048), sleeping pills (p=.030), fatigue (p< .001), anxiety (p<.001), and depression (p=.024). Logistic regression showed that significant predictors for poor sleep quality were fatigue and concurrent chemo-radiotherapy. Conclusion: These findings suggest that sleep disturbance was a significant health problem in patients with breast and gynecologic cancer who were receiving radiotherapy. Also that fatigue and concurrent chemo-radiotherapy were highly associated with sleep disturbance. However, limited evidence was found for the role of radiotherapy in the sleep disturbance of these patients.
