A Study on the Quality of Sleep and Its Related Factors in Some Psychiatric Inpatients

Objectives : This study was performed to identify the relations between daily habits and quality of sleep of the psychiatric inpatients. Methods: W e interviewed 154 the psychiatric inpatients o f open ward in Naju national hospital, Chonnam Naju, from July 17，2008 to July 25 of the same year. Data was collected using disease records and a questionnaire about sociodemographic characteristics, clinical characteristics, habits in hospital, and characteristics in history of hospitalization. And we measured the quality of sleep using the subjective sleep questionnaire modified from Leeds Sleep Evaluation Questionnaire (LSEQ). Results: The scores of quality of sleep of inpatients were 17.53±5.03. Quality of sleep had no statistically significant relationship with various characteristics in the simple analysis. However, as a result of the multiple regression analysis, the sleep quality o f the overweight group was low, and the higher frequency of hospitalization and more pain they had, the worse sleep quality was. However, the sleep quality of those who took hypnotics was higher than that of those who did not. Conclusions: This study suggests that there was no significant difference between daily habits in the hospital and the sleep quality because of limits to the same environment of being in hospital. Based on the results above, in order to enhance the sleep quality of the psychiatric inpatients, we should consider both medication which takes hypnotics and weight control and actively deal with the pain.
