Better sleep quality in chronic haemodialyzed patients is associated with morning-shift dialysis: A cross-sectional observational study

Sleep Quality in Patients Undergoing Long-term Hemodialysis Using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index

“…Many studies relate increase in age to a low quality of sleep in patients under chronic hemodialysis, (1, 2, 4, 9, 10, 15, 22, 23) while other studies do not show such relationship (14,16,17,24). In our study, patients had a lower quality of sleep with increasing age, but only up to the age thresh-…”

“…Most of the studies found no correlation between having diabetes mellitus and quality of sleep in patients under chronic hemodialysis (2,10,11,13,24). On the other hand, we and Einollahi et al (23) observed a lower quality of sleep in patients with diabetes mellitus.…”

Can A Nursing Intervention Improve the Sleep Pattern Disorders in Patients Undergoing Hemodialysis in Morning and Afternoon Shifts?

“…This is particularly important given that more than half of the patients were from rural areas, which means that they may travel back home after the session, reaching homes late in the evening, and not having the opportunity to apply what they have learnt from the intervention guidelines. The finding is in agreement with Wang [30] whose study showed better sleep quality in morning dialysis shift after adjusting for other confounders.…”

Evaluation of subjective sleep quality in hemodialysis patients and its association with hemodialysis timing

“…On the other hand, findings of Memon et al (2015) were indicative of a significant correlation between poor sleep quality and morning dialysis sessions in female and elderly patients, as well as other factors such as weight gain and dialysis duration of more than three years (33). But, in the research by Wang et al (2013), quality of sleep was reported to be higher in patients undergoing hemodialysis in the morning. Furthermore, they concluded that depression, anxiety and consumption of tea were significantly associated with quality of sleep (27).…”

“…Accordingly, some studies have reported poor sleep quality in patients undergoing dialysis during the day, whereas patients with evening dialysis shifts had higher sleep quality (25,26). Also, a number of studies have suggested that patients with morning dialysis shifts tend to have higher sleep quality (27). In this paper, researchers attempted to clarify the aforementioned contradictions through investigating the relationship between timing of dialysis sessions and subjective sleep quality.…”
