Abstract

Purposes: 1) To describe sleep hygiene practices and 2) to identify its associated factors of cesarean postpartum women during hospitalization in Hanoi city's hospitals. Subjects and methods: a cross-sectional using a pre-designed questionnaire on 100 hospitalized cesarean postpartum women at VinMec Times City International General Hospital and Hanoi Central Obstetrics Hospital. Results: The sleep hygiene practices score (mean ± standard deviation) is 24.63 ± 9.22 (78-point scale). The domain "Sleep scheduling and timing" has the highest score of 9.67 ± 3.54, while the domain “Eating/drinking habits before sleep” has the lowest score of 1.86 ± 2.02. There was no statistically significant difference between demographics and sleep hygiene practices (p > 0.05). Conclusion: Our research found good sleep hygiene practices among post-cesarean section mothers in Hanoi during hospitalization. “Sleep scheduling and timing” was the weakest practice. Demographics’ differences did not affect sleep hygiene practices. These results highlight the necessity for education and support programs to improve sleep hygiene practices and overall health in post-cesarean section women.
