Abstract BACKGROUND Sleep disorder, brings in many physical, behavioral, and mental problems. Applying continuous care model leads to proper recognition of the patient’s problems and involves the patient in solving health problems. This study aimed to determine the effect of continuous care model on the quality of sleep in menopausal women. METHODS AND MATERIALS A random clinical trial study was carried out with participation of 110 menopausal women visiting Kermanshah-based clinics (the west of Iran) in 2017. The participants were randomly assigned to intervention (n=55) and control (n=55) groups. The control group received the routine cares and in addition to the routine cares the intervention group attended four weekly group consultation sessions (60-90min). The quality of sleep in the two groups was assessed using Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index before, immediately after, and one month after the intervention. Data analyses were done using independent t-test, ANOVA with frequent measures, Friedman’s test, Wilcoxon’s post hoc test, and X2 test in SPSS (24). RESULTS The mean scores of quality of sleep before and after the intervention were significantly different in the intervention group (p=0.001). There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of quality of sleep before (p=0.140) and immediately after the intervention (p=0.168). However, one month after, the difference between the two groups was significant (P<0.001). CONCLUSION Implementation of the continuous care model led to an improvement of quality of sleep in the menopausal women.

TÓM TẮT Giới thiệu: Các rối loạn về giấc ngủ: khó khăn khi đi vào giấc ngủ, duy trì giấc ngủ, chất lượng giấc ngủ kém, dậy sớm và ngủ ban ngày quá nhiều mà bệnh nhân ung thư phải trải qua thường xuyên nhưng thường hay bị bỏ sót và chưa được chú ý đến. Mục tiêu: Đánh giá chất lượng giấc ngủ và tìm hiểu các yếu tố liên quan đến chất lượng giấc ngủ ở bệnh nhân ung thư đang được điều trị tại bệnh viện trường đại học Y dược Huế. Phương pháp nghiên cứu: Phương pháp nghiên cứu cắt ngang trên 104 bệnh nhân ung thư tại Khoa Ung Bướu, bệnh viện trường Đại học Y dược Huế. Sử dụng thang đo PSQI và PHQ-ADS để đánh giá chất lượng giấc ngủ, và tình trạng trầm cảm lo âu ở bệnh nhân ung thư. Phân tích hồi quy đa biến tuyến tính dùng để kiểm định mối tương quan giữa chất lượng giấc ngủ và các yếu tố liên quan. Kết quả: Đối tượng nghiên cứu có độ tuổi trung bình 59,6 ± 11,7. Điểm PSQI trung bình chất lượng giấc ngủ là 10,6 ± 5,2. Phần lớn bệnh nhân có chất lượng giấc ngủ kém (79,8%); trong đó, 50% bệnh nhân gặp trở ngại lớn để đi vào giấc ngủ, có đến 46,2% chỉ ngủ được 5 giờ trong một đêm. Có mối liên quan có ý nghĩa thống kê giữa chất lượng giấc ngủ với giới tính và tình trạng trầm cảm, lo âu (p < 0,05). Kết luận: Bệnh nhân ung thư thường có chất lượng giấc ngủ kém. Điều này cho thấy giấc ngủ của bệnh nhân cần được quan tâm đúng mức và không nên bỏ sót trong quá trình chẩn đoán và điều trị. Từ khóa: Chất lượng giấc ngủ, bệnh nhân ung thư, trầm cảm lo âu. ABSTRACT QUALITY OF SLEEP AND RELATED FACTORS AMONG CANCER PATIENTS IN HUE UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL Introduction: Sleep disorders such as difficulty in falling asleep, maintaining sleep, poor sleep efficiency, early awakening and excessive daytime sleepiness are among the adverse effects that are experienced frequently but they are widely underdiagnosed. Therefore, addressing problems related to sleep among cancer patients could carry out better implications to improve quality of sleep, enhancing treatment outcomes. Aim: To evaluate quality of sleep and to detect associated factors of sleep quality among cancer patients. Methods: The cross-sectional study was conducted among 104 cancer patients treated at the Oncology Department, Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy hospital. Sleep quality (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index), severity of anxiety and depression (Patient Health Questionnaire - Anxiety and Depression Scale) were accessed in the present study. Linear regression analysis was used to investigate the association between sleep quality and its related factors. Results: The mean age of study population was 59.6 ± 11.7. The average PSQI score was 10.6 ± 5.2. 79.8% cancer patients had poor sleep quality (PSQI score > 5). 50% patients had difficulty falling asleep and 46.2% patients reported sleep of < 5 hours per day. There were statistically associations between quality of sleep and gender, depression/anxiety (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The majority of cancer patients had poor sleep quality. This study points out that sleep is of great importance among cancer patients, which should not be neglected during the diagnosis and treatment procedure. Keyword: Quality of sleep, cancer patient, depression, anxiety.

Background: Sleep disturbance is one of the most prevalent health problems in menopausal women. It has a number of severe consequences not only for their physicalbut also psychosocial well - being and results in lower quality of life. This study was conducted with two objectives: Describe the sleep quality and investigate its related factors among menopausal women. Methods: This is a cross - sectional descriptive study, conducted on 362 menopausal women in 13 wards of HaiChau distrist, Da Nang city from February, 2017 to September, 2018. Questionnaires included five parts: Demographics questions, perceived health status question, Zung Self - Rating Anxiety Scale, Zung Self - Rating Depression Scale and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and correlational statistics. Results: The mean PSQI score was 8.7 ± 3.4, only 18.2% of menopausal women had good sleep quality. Sleep quality (PSQI) of menopausal women has a strong positive correlation with age (r = 0.57, p < 0.0001), anxiety (r = 0.51, p < 0.0001), depression (r = 0.51, p < 0.0001), health perception (r = 0.32, p < 0.0001), a low positive correlation with hot flashes (r = 0.17, p < 0.001) and sweating (r = 0.18, p < 0.001). Sleep quality (PSQI) was negatively correlated with educational level (r = -0.65, p < 0.0001). In the multiple regression model, age, education level, health perception and depression predicted the sleep quality of menopausal women. Conclusion: The sleep quality of menopausal women was low. There were some predictors of sleep quality: age, educational level, health perception and depression.
