The result showed the PSQI score in study group was 6,54 ± 4,35, with scores fluctuated from 0 to 17, and the figure in placebo group was 5,57±2,42. Those number indicated no stastically significant difference between two groups. Multivariate regression analysis revealed several factors influenced sleep quality, including anxiety, depression, marital status and treatment adherence. Research methodology: a discriptive cross-sectional study. Conclusion: the PSQI score in study group was 6,54 ± 4,35, factors influenced sleep quality including stress, anxiety, marital status and treatment adherence.
