Sleep can be defined as a state of reduced attention from where the person can be woken up by any kind of stimuli. Sleep difficulties are a major group of disorders affecting one third of the adult population. The present study was taken up to assess the sleep quality and prevalence of sleep disorders among the adult population in the urban slum area of H Siddaiah Road Urban Primary Health Center (UPHC), which is in the Urban Field Practice Area, BMCRI.
Stratified random sampling was used to select 821 adults in the population of 18-60 years of age. Ethical clearance was obtained from the Institutional Ethical Committee. A pretested semi-structured questionnaire was used to interview the adults after obtaining their consent. The data was entered in Microsoft Office Excel and analysed using SPSS ver20.0.
The study population was 52.81% females and 77.5% in the age group of 18-30 years. Most of the study population were Hindus (78.90%), and only 3.8% of the study population were illiterate. Most of them were employed (86.12%).Substance use was present in 82.9% of the study participants and overcrowding was present in 51.3% of the subjects. Female gender, being unemployed, living with relatives, overcrowding, and substance use such as alcohol and smokeless tobacco were the factors associated with poor sleep quality as measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Among the study participants having poor sleep quality, most of participants needed further clinical assessment for insomnia (86%) followed by assessment for sleep apnoea (50.5%).
200 (24.36%) study participants were determined to have poor sleep quality. Gender, marital status and overcrowding were the factors associated with poor sleep quality. A significant number of study participants need further assessment on insomnia, sleep apnoea and psychiatric disorders.
睡眠可被定义为一种注意力降低的状态，在此状态下个体可被任何类型的刺激唤醒。睡眠困难是影响三分之一成年人口的一大类疾病。本研究旨在评估位于城市现场实践区BMCRI的H西达亚路城市初级卫生中心（UPHC）城市贫民窟地区成年人口的睡眠质量和睡眠障碍患病率。
采用分层随机抽样从18至60岁的人群中选取821名成年人。获得了机构伦理委员会的伦理批准。在获得成年人同意后，使用经过预测试的半结构化问卷对他们进行访谈。数据录入Microsoft Office Excel并使用SPSS 20.0版进行分析。
研究人群中女性占52.81%，18至30岁年龄组占77.5%。大多数研究人群是印度教徒（78.90%），只有3.8%的研究人群是文盲。他们中的大多数人有工作（86.12%）。82.9%的研究参与者存在物质使用情况，51.3%的受试者存在居住拥挤情况。使用匹兹堡睡眠质量指数测量，女性、失业、与亲属同住、居住拥挤以及酒精和无烟烟草等物质使用是与睡眠质量差相关的因素。在睡眠质量差的研究参与者中，大多数参与者需要进一步进行失眠临床评估（86%），其次是睡眠呼吸暂停评估（50.5%）。
200名（24.36%）研究参与者被确定睡眠质量差。性别、婚姻状况和居住拥挤是与睡眠质量差相关的因素。相当数量的研究参与者需要进一步评估失眠、睡眠呼吸暂停和精神疾病。
