Sleep Disorders in Pregnancy, Influencing Factors and Quality of Life
2021
Aim In our study, the frequency of sleep disturbances in pregnancy, the
reasons underlying the low quality of sleep, clinical factors, and the effects
on quality of life were investigated. Methods The study was planned as a prospective study and included 189
pregnant women. Clinical features, laboratory results, socio-demographic status,
obstetric and medical anamnesis were evaluated. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality
Index, Epworth Sleepiness Scale, the Berlin Questionnaire, Beck Depression
Inventory, SF-36 quality-of-life questionnaire, and restless leg syndrome (RLS)
diagnosis criteria were used for data collection. Results We investigated sleep disorders in 110 pregnant women
(58.2%). A history of premenstrual syndrome and patients with
hyperemesis gravidarum, obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, Vitamin B12
deficiency, and higher TSH levels in the laboratory were found to be associated
with sleep disorders. Sleep disorders and daytime sleepiness were associated
with depression, physical and social functioning, pain, and disturbance in
general health perception. The number of pregnant women who had two or more RLS
complaints was 84 (44%). Conclusion The results of our study show that sleep disorders in pregnancy
can be managed with easily applicable methods according to the risk factors and
related problems.
