Poor sleep quality and associated factors among pregnant women on antenatal care follow up at Nekemte Referral Hospital and Wollega University Hospital, Nekemte, Ethiopia, 2019: a cross-sectional study
Abstract
Sleep disturbances are common in women, especially during pregnancy. This can result in emotional and psychological consequences for pregnant women, and it could lead to some serious complications for both mothers and their babies. However, it is not well recognized and has not been studied in developing countries, including Ethiopia. Objective To assess the quality of sleep and associated factors among pregnant women on antenatal care follow-up at Nekemte Referral Hospital and Wollega University Hospital, Nekemte, Ethiopia 2019. Methods An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted from May to June 2019 at Nekemte Referral Hospital and Wollega University Hospital. A systematic random sampling technique was used to get 408 samples. Sleep quality was assessed using structured questionnaires of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index tool. Then, the collected data was coded and entered into Epi-Data 3.1 version and analyzed using SPSS version 20. A logistic regression analysis was computed to determine the association between independent variables and sleep quality. Statistically significant was considered at P-value < 0.05. Results With 96.4% response rate, the magnitude of poor sleep quality was found to be 59.1% [95% CI: (54.2, 64)]. Poor sleep quality was high among participants with unplanned pregnancy [AOR = 4.25,95%CI:(1.47,12.23)],poor sleep hygiene[AOR = 2.93,95%CI:(1.41,6.09)],depressed women[AOR = 5.73,95%CI:(2.49,13.21)], anxiety disorder[AOR =…
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a cross-sectional, done in people. Its evidence level is 4 of 5 (Low · observational). Observational designs can show an association but not prove cause.
