Abstract

Objective: (1) To determine sleep quality and (2) to identify some factors associated with sleep quality among women with cancer. Method: A cross-sectional study design was conducted on 214 women with cancer being treated at some hospitals allocated in Hanoi City. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was used to assess sleep quality among women with cancer. Results: The average sleep quality score of women with cancer was 8.25 ± 2.39. The majority of women had poor sleep quality (86.45%). The factors of education, employment and stage of disease were associated with sleep quality in women with cancer, p < 0.05. Conclusion: Our findings indicate that women with cancer experienced  poor sleep quality.  It is therefore necessary to develop programs to improve sleep quality and early care and treatment of sleep disorders for women with cancer. Especially, the group of women with secondary education, manual labor and early stages need to be focused to help them reduce the risk of sleep disorders and mental health problems after cancer treatment.
