Journal Title: National Journal of Research in Community Medicine - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
Introduction: Sleep disturbance is a complex health problem causing significant negative effect on mental and physical health, leading to stress particularly among women because of their increased socio-familial roles. Sleep related disorders (SRDs) though frequent, are under-reported and their implications are often neglected. The disease burden and risk factors of poor sleep quality among women needs to be verified using a validated form of measurement in urban India.Objectives: To determine the quality of sleep among working and non-working women and to study the factors affecting it.Materials and Methods: A community based cross-sectional study conducted among urban women, both working and non-working aged 18 years and above. Data were collected by house-to-house survey using predesigned and pretested proforma and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index questionnaire (PSQI). Descriptive statistics and Chi-square test were used for analysis. Results: Majority, 38.5% women were in the age-group of 30-39 years, with 33.5% belonging to Class II socio-economic status, 87.5% were married, 36.5% had completed high school education. 60% women were sedentary workers, with 93% working between 4-8 hours. Poor sleep quality was seen in 71% working women as compared to 18% non-working women [p< 0.001, OR=11.15 (95% CI= 6.95 to 17.89)], with majority 97.75% of them having mild sleep disturbance.Conclusions: Prevalence of sleep-related problems was found to be higher among working women than non-working women. Socio-demographic factors like education, marital status, socio-economic status and working pattern had an impact on the sleep quality of both working and non-working women.
