Sleep
is a vital component of patient recovery; however, it is often disrupted in
hospital settings due to environmental and clinical factors. This study aimed
to assess sleep quality and identify factors affecting sleep among hospitalized
patients in medical-surgical units. A cross-sectional descriptive study was
conducted among 550 patients using a structured questionnaire and the
Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) to evaluate sleep quality. Data were
analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, including chi-square
test and logistic regression analysis.
The
results revealed that 63.6% of patients experienced poor sleep quality.
Environmental factors such as noise (68.9%), nursing interruptions (62.5%), and
lighting disturbances (56.7%) were the most reported contributors to sleep
disruption. Significant associations were found between these factors and sleep
quality (p < 0.05). Logistic regression analysis identified noise,
interruptions, and comorbidities as significant predictors of poor sleep.
