Sleep quality and related factors in older adults: A cross-sectional study
Journal Title: Journal of Nursing Reports in Clinical Practice - Year 2023, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate sleep quality and related factors in hospitalized older adults. In this cross-sectional study, 390 older adults were admitted to the medical and surgical departments of Musa Ibn Jafar Hospital in Quchan. The data was collected from October to March 2017. Data collection tools were the demographic information questionnaire and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Questionnaire (PSQI). A total of 390 older adults participated in this study. The mean age of participants was 71.73 (SD=8.05) years. Of the participants, 54.6% were male, 73.8% were married, 31.5% had a diploma, and 77.4% lived in the city. Also, 67.4% of the individuals had never been hospitalized before, and 69.0% of them had a history of chronic disease. The mean sleep quality score based on PSQI in the elderly was 7.40 (SD=4.02). Among the participants, 63.8% of them had undesirable sleep quality. The age of elderly people who had undesirable sleep was significantly higher than people with desirable sleep (P=0.03). Also, there was a significant difference between undesirable and desirable sleep quality with education level (P=0.05), marital status (P<0.001), hospitalization frequency (P<0.001), and history of chronic disease (P<0.001). In sum, considering that the results of the research showed that the elderly did not have a good quality of sleep, it is recommended to provide nursing care in the inpatient wards as well as teach it to the elderly and their families to prevent sleep problems and related problems.
