Abstract

  Background and objective : Postpartum is a critical and stressful period accompanying by fatigue, mood changes and sleep disorders. The purpose of this study was to describe sleep during the second and sixth week of postpartum in the women with cesarean and those with vaginal delivery.

  Material and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 96 women in the second and sixth week of postpartum period (48 after cesarean and 48 after vaginal delivery).­ The instruments were demographic data sheet and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Scale .

  Results: The Results show that the subjects are correlated with each other on the basis of both parents’ and neonates’ demographic characteristics.­­Variables such as subjective sleep quality, sleep latency, actual sleep time , sleep efficiency , sleep disturbance , and daily disfunctioning indicator are significantly different in two groups.­ ­The mean of Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index for vaginal delivery is higher than that ­ of cesarean, which can be a good reason for better sleep quality of the women with vaginal delivery.

  Conclusion: Mothers with Cesarean have lower sleep quality than those with ­normal delivery therefore, they should be educated to select normal delivery and intervened for improving sleep quality in postpartum period.

Abstract

Background and Objective: Patients under hemodialysis are faced with many stressors and psychological problems such as sleep disorder and anxiety. These problems could be a threat to their health and be significant clinically.  Thus, we aimed to determine the relationship between anxiety and sleep quality in hemodialysis patients.

Material and Methods: This descriptive-analytic study was conducted on 74 hemodialysis patients in Hefdahe Shahrivar hospital of Borazjan city, 2014. The data was collected by Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), and analyzed by t-test, ANOVA and correlation Coefficient using SPSS.

Results: Most of the patients (89.2%) had the average anxiety and 63.3% of them had low sleeping quality. The average of patients’ anxiety and sleeping quality were 49±6.5 and 11.7±2/4, respectively. The correlation coefficient between anxiety and sleeping quality was 0.515 (p=0.001), pointing out an acceptable correlation. Along with the increase of anxiety, the dimension of the subjective sleep quality, delay in falling asleep, the sleep disturbances were affected and ended up low sleeping quality. There was no significant correlation between the anxiety and sleeping quality and daily dysfunction.

Conclusion: Given the acceptable correlation between anxiety and sleep quality, there is a direct relation between anxiety and sleep quality of the patients.

Abstract

Background: Poor quality of sleep and daily activity in elderly people are associated with many physical and psychological problems that increase disability and need to use health services. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between daily activities and quality of sleep in the elderly people.

Methods: This Study was a correlational-descriptivestudy on390 elderly people in Zanjan in 2013. The sampling was done using a cluster and multistage method. Data were collected via face-to-face interview, using Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and a questionnaire on "activities of daily living(ADL)" and "instrumental activities of daily living (IADL)". Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistic including number, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and inferential statistical tests including Spearman's rank correlation coefficient, independent t-test and one-way analysis of variance.

Results: The mean score of ADLand IADL was 11.58±0.81 (score range 0-14) and 11.23±2.93 (score range 0-18), respectively. In addition, 85.7%of the subjects in the study had poor sleep quality and only 14.3% had good sleep quality. The results also indicated no significant relationship between the daily activities and quality of sleep in the elderly, while instrumental activities had a weak positive and significant correlation with their sleep quality (P≥ 0.05).

Conclusion: Although the elderlyin this study have poor sleep quality, they are independent inperforming ADL and IADL. Furthermore, there is a weak and direct correlation between sleep quality and instrumental activities of the old people. Improvement of activity in the elderly can improve their quality of sleep.

Volume 19, Issue 1 (1-2022)
Abstract

Background: Since happiness affects the various aspects of human life and is considered as one of the most important psychological needs, achieving it and it effects on the health of the body and soul has always occupied the mind of human beings. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of Forde's happiness program on sleep quality in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS).
Methods: This randomized clinical trial study was performed in the MS Society of Shahrekord in 2018. 70 eligible patients with MS were recruited through convenience sampling method and randomly allocated into intervention and control groups equally. The Fordyce Happiness Training Program was conducted in eight sessions in the intervention group. The sleep quality was measured by Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), before intervention, immediately and three months after the implementation of Fordyce Happiness Program. The data analysis was analyzed using Chi-square, and independent t-test and Fishers exact test for demographic data distribution in intervention and control group, and repeated measures ANOVA for sleep quality in SPSS-16.
Results: The findings indicated that total scores of sleep quality of the two intervention (4.61±.052) and control (6.62±.054) groups were not significantly different before the intervention (P=0.05). However, the mean sleep quality scores of intervention and control groups showed a significant difference before, immediately after the intervention with a significant decrease in sleep quality scores over time (F=23.291, P˂0.001).
Conclusion: The results of this study demonstrated that the implementation of Fordyce Happiness Training Program in MS patients is a suitable method for improving sleep quality, and if this program continues, they will get better results.

Abstract
Background: Sleep disorder is common in women with mastectomy. Previous studies have shown that relaxation technique improves sleep quality. However, the effects of these interventions on the sleep quality of breast cancer patients who underwent mastectomy surgery is still unclear. This study aimed to determine the effect of the Benson relaxation technique (BRT) on sleep quality in women with breast cancer after mastectomy.
Methods: This randomized clinical trial study was performed on 72 eligible patients who were referred to the screening and chemotherapy center of Shahid Modares Hospital of Kashmar City from April to July 2021. The patients were selected through convenient sampling and randomly allocated to intervention (n = 36) and control (n = 36) groups. In the intervention group, in addition to the routine treatments, BRT was performed once in the morning and once in the evening for 2 months, each time for 20 minutes. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was used to evaluate the score of sleep quality at the beginning of the study and 2 months later. Data were analyzed using the paired t test and independent t test at 95% CI.
Results: The mean score of sleep quality before the intervention in the intervention and control groups was 9.25 ± 2.50 and 8.47 ± 2.13, respectively. After the intervention, the mean score of sleep quality in the intervention and control groups was 6.63 ± 1.92 and 8.41 ± 2.15, respectively, and the difference was significant between the 2 groups (P = 0.001)
Conclusion: The Benson relaxation technique improves sleep quality in women with breast cancer after mastectomy. Therefore, it can be considered an adjunct therapy to improve the sleep quality in these people.
