Journal Title: Journal of Turkish Sleep Medicine - Year 2020, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
Objective: This aim of study was to investigate the quality of sleep and life in postpartum period women. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out on 632 women (n=316 postpartum period, n=316 healthy control) who applied to university hospital gynecology and obstetrics outpatient clinic and a private hospital gynecology and obstetrics outpatient clinic between October 2017 and December 2018. Data of the study were collected with questionnaire forms prepared by examining the literature, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality index (PSQI), and European Quality of Life-5 dimensions (EQ-5D). Results: It was found that the PSQI total score of the postpartum period women (10.1±3.5) was significantly higher than the control group women (5.7±3.0) (p<0.001). The risk of poor sleep quality in the postpartum group women increased 5.48-fold compared to the control group (p<0.001). It was determined that the mean EQ-5D Index score of the postpartum period women was higher (9.4±2.0) than the control group women mean scores (6.8±2.0) (p<0.001). The EQ-5D VAS score of the postpartum period group women (38.9±21.2) was found to be lower than the control group women (75.6±16.9) (p<0.001). A positive correlation was found between the PSQI (r=0.85; p<0.001) and EQ-5D scales’ (r=0.31; p<0.001) total mean scores of postpartum and control group women. Conclusion: The sleep quality of postpartum period women is worse than women who are not in postpartum period and the risk of poor sleep quality also increases. The general quality of life and perceived health of women in postpartum period are also worse. As the general quality of life worsens in both postpartum women and healthy women, the quality of sleep also deteriorated.
