Abstract

A cross-sectional study aimed at describing sleeping quality of patients with hypertension in Nam Phong commune, Nam Dinh city, in 2019. The study utilized Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) to screen sleeping qualify of participants, which was translated into Vietnamese and measured internal consistency before officially data collecting. All patients with hypertension in the research place were selected to take part in the survey, and face-to-face interviews were deployed. The result shows that 49.3% of respondents need from 15 to 30 minutes to start sleeping. The participants who slept from 5 to 6 hours per night accounted for 31.8% and less than 5 hours per night took 37.2%. Those with low and very low habitual sleep efficiency hold 20.3% and 39.9% respectively. There were 52% of participants sought help from sleeping pills to sleep better at night. 53.4% reported that they experienced little difficulties in daytime activities due to sleep deficiency. 53.4% of respondents self-evaluated that they had a fairly poor sleeping quality and 3,4% reported that they thought their sleep quality was very poor. The sleeping quality according to PSQI total score reveals that 95.9% of patients with hypertension suffered from poor sleeping quality and just only 4.9% of them were categorized as good sleeping quality. From the findings, we concluded that poor sleeping quality is a common phenomenon among hypertension patients in Nam Phong commune, Nam Dinh city. Therefore, we recommend that it is necessary to conduct intervention programs aiming at improving the sleeping quality of hypertension patients in Nam Phong commune, Nam Dinh city.
