Abstract

Background: Sleep disorders and hypertension are common conditions in the elderly. These two health conditions are closely related and influence each other. In particular, poor sleep quality in older people with hypertension, if not detected early and treated, can lead to ineffective blood pressure control, increase the risk of other diseases, and lead to increased morbidity and mortality, reduced overall quality of life. Objectives: To describe the quality of sleep in elderly patients with hypertension treated at the National Geriatric Hospital. Subjects: 95 elderly patients with hypertension treated inpatient and outpatient at National Geriatric Hospital in the period from January 2023 to April 2023 who were surveyed about sleep quality. Methods: Cross-sectional study, using PSQI sleep quality questionnaire. Results: Most of the patients surveyed had sleep disorders, accounting for 80%. Of which 68.4% of patients had chronic sleep disorders for 1 year or more. On average, patients went to sleep from 21±1.3 hours. After about 58.7 minutes, the patient could start to fall asleep. Patients usually woke up at 4.2 am. Most of the patients self-reported their sleep status was relatively poor and very poor (73.7%). Conclusion: The proportion of patients with sleep disorder is high. Patients often get poor sleep quality for rather a long time and often have difficulty falling asleep.
