Abstract

Sleep disturbance is one of the most frequent and persistent complaints about pregnant women. More than 72% of pregnant women reported frequent experience awakening during the night. Poorer sleep quality is more common in late pregnancy. According to conducted research, the poor quality of sleep in pregnancy is directly related to depressive symptoms. Risk of depression increased with the changes in sleep pattern. Depression is the fourth most serious health problem in the world. This study aims to know the relationship between sleep quality and depression during the third trimester of pregnant women. The design used is a cross-sectional study with an observational, analytical approach. The subject group performed on 95 pregnant women with accidental sampling. The research instrument was a PSQI (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index) and a BDI (Beck's Depression Inventory) questionnaire. The analysis used univariate, bivariate and multivariate. Factors associated with sleep quality and depression were analyzed with the chi-square test. The result showed that there was a significant relationship between the quality of sleep and depression in the third trimester of pregnant women (p=0,000). This study reveals that sleep problems are prospective risk factors for increases in depressive symptoms in the third trimester of pregnancy, and it can cause depression. Screening for sleep quality disorders during pregnancy should be part of routine prenatal check-ups to prevent depression in pregnant women.
