Abstract

Objective

Sleep quality plays a crucial role in overall well-being, and many caregivers of cancer patients report being dissatisfied with their sleep. The aim of this study was to assess sleep quality and its determinants among caregivers of patients with cancer at oncologic centers of Northwest Ethiopia.

Methods

An institution-based, multicenter cross-sectional study was conducted among 412 family caregivers of patients with cancer at oncologic centers in Northwest Ethiopia from August to October 2023. Study participants were enrolled using systematic random sampling. Data entry and analysis were done using EpiDdata version 4.6.0 and Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 26, respectively. A multivariable logistic regression model was used to identify determinants of sleep quality. Variables with a p-value <0.05 at a 95 % Confidence Interval (CI) were defined as statistically significant.

Results

Out of a total of 422 approached participants, 412 eligible caregivers were included in the study. Poor sleep quality was reported among 68.9 % of caregivers. The presence of chronic illness [Adjusted Odds Ratio (AOR) = 2.19, 95 % CI: 1.18, 4.03, P: 0.012], depression [AOR = 3.40, 95 % CI: 2.04, 5.68, P: <0.001], anxiety [AOR = 2.27, 95 % CI: 1.29, 3.99, P: 0.004], and poor social support [AOR = 2.06, 95 % CI: 1.04, 4.06, P: 0.036] were significantly associated with poor sleep quality.

Conclusion

In this study, two-thirds of caregivers were found to have poor sleep quality. Participants with chronic illness, depression, anxiety, and poor social support need prompt screening and follow-up in order to improve sleep quality.

埃塞俄比亚西北部肿瘤中心癌症患者家庭护理人员的睡眠质量及其决定因素：一项多中心横断面研究

目的：睡眠质量在整体健康中起着至关重要的作用，许多癌症患者的护理人员报告说他们对自己的睡眠不满意。本研究的目的是评估埃塞俄比亚西北部肿瘤中心癌症患者护理人员的睡眠质量及其决定因素。方法：2023年8月至10月，在埃塞俄比亚西北部肿瘤中心对412名癌症患者的家庭护理人员进行了一项以机构为基础的多中心横断面研究。研究参与者采用系统随机抽样方法登记。数据录入和分析分别使用EpiDdata 4.6.0版本和SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) 26版本。使用多变量逻辑回归模型来确定睡眠质量的决定因素。具有p值的变量结果：在总共422名接近的参与者中，412名符合条件的护理人员被纳入研究。68.9%的护理人员睡眠质量较差。存在慢性疾病[调整优势比(AOR) = 2.19, 95% CI: 1.18, 4.03, P: 0.012]，抑郁[AOR = 3.40, 95% CI: 2.04, 5.68, P:]，结论：本研究中，三分之二的护理人员睡眠质量较差。患有慢性疾病、抑郁、焦虑和缺乏社会支持的参与者需要及时筛查和随访，以改善睡眠质量。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Psychosomatic Research is a multidisciplinary research journal covering all aspects of the relationships between psychology and medicine. The scope is broad and ranges from basic human biological and psychological research to evaluations of treatment and services. Papers will normally be concerned with illness or patients rather than studies of healthy populations. Studies concerning special populations, such as the elderly and children and adolescents, are welcome. In addition to peer-reviewed original papers, the journal publishes editorials, reviews, and other papers related to the journal''s aims.
