| dc.description.abstract | Background. Over the last few decades, the rising rates of infertility parallel the increasing prevalence of sleep disturbance. Aim. The aim of this study was to determine the severity of sleep disturbance in infertile women. Methods. This was a descriptive study with a cross sectional design. Samples were infertile women in Halim Fertility Center Clinic Medan who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data was collected using PROMIS Sleep Disturbance Scale and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index questionnaire. A consecutive sampling technique was implemented to select the samples. Results. Out of the 50 respondents, most had slight sleep disturbance (86%) and good sleep quality (54%). Based on demographic characteristics, the most severe sleep disturbance mostly happened in respondents with age ≥35 years (5,9%), overweight BMI (10%), >5-≤8 years of infertility (10%), primary infertility (3,1%), and ovulatory disorders (4,2%). Poor sleep quality mostly happened in respondents with age ≥35 years (58,8%), normal BMI (52,9%), >5-≤8 years of infertility (70%), secondary infertility (50%), and cervical factor disorders (100%). Based on the result of the analysis, there is no correlation between sleep disturbance and sleep quality levels with samples’ demographic characteristics. Conclusion. Most infertile women have slight sleep disturbance and good sleep quality. Respondents with age ≥35 years, overweight BMI, >5-≤8 years of infertility duration, primary infertility, and ovulatory disorders has the most severe sleep disturbance. Respondents with age ≥35 years, normal BMI, >5-≤8 years of infertility duration, secondary infertility, and cervical factor disorders has bad sleep quality. No correlation between sleep disturbance and sleep quality levels with samples’ demographic characteristics was found. | en_US |
