This study investigated the sleep quality and its psychological correlates among hospitalized antepartum women. A cross-sectional correlation study design and convenience sampling were conducted in the gynecological ward of a medical center in northern Taiwan. A total of 101 hospitalized antepartum women were recruited. A self-administered structured questionnaire including demographic profiles, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), Antepartum Hospital Stressors Inventory (AHSI), and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was used for the study. Bivariate and multiple linear regressions were used to analyze the data. A majority of the participants had poor sleep quality (82.8%), based on the global PSQI score. Sleep quality correlated with age, marital and employment status, parity, method of conception, multiple gestation, history of pregnant complications, anxiety symptom and hospital stressors which explained 21% of the variance in sleep quality. This study found a high prevalence of poor sleep quality in hospitalized antepartum women. Anxiety symptom was a significant predictor of sleep quality. Healthcare providers should be encouraged to assess sleep and emotional status in antepartum women during hospitalization and provide them appropriate interventions to improve sleep and reduce anxiety symptoms and hospital stressors.
本研究调查了住院产前妇女的睡眠质量及其心理相关性。采用横断面相关性研究设计和便利抽样法，在台湾北部一家医学中心的妇科病房进行。共招募了 101 名住院产前妇女。使用自我管理的结构化问卷，包括人口统计学特征、状态-特质焦虑量表（STAI）、产前医院应激源量表（AHSI）和匹兹堡睡眠质量指数（PSQI）。使用双变量和多元线性回归分析数据。根据全球 PSQI 评分，大多数参与者的睡眠质量较差（82.8%）。睡眠质量与年龄、婚姻和就业状况、产次、受孕方式、多胎妊娠、妊娠并发症史、焦虑症状和医院应激源相关，这些因素解释了睡眠质量变化的 21%。本研究发现住院产前妇女中睡眠质量差的发生率很高。焦虑症状是睡眠质量的一个重要预测因素。医疗保健提供者应鼓励在住院期间评估产前妇女的睡眠和情绪状况，并为其提供适当的干预措施，以改善睡眠质量，减轻焦虑症状和医院应激源。
