Sleep quality among different classes of heart failure patients in Jordan: A STROBE compliant cross-sectional study

Abstract

Many researchers emphasize the importance of studying sleep quality among patients with heart failure (HF). Because of the importance of this topic, many studies have been conducted to address the different aspects of sleep-in various populations of patients with HF. The purposes of our study were: to assess the types of disturbances in sleep within the different classes of HF, and to assess whether there were differences in the levels of sleep quality and types of disturbances in sleep within the different classes in non-hospitalized Jordan patients with HF. Data were gathered from 2 cardiac clinics and 2 medical clinics at 3 Jordan hospitals. A minimum sample of 200 people was recruited to participate in this study based on these criteria and factors. The prevalence of low sleep quality and types of disturbances in sleep were increased with the increase in New York Heart Association class. Nearly 3 quarters of the study sample had poor sleep quality 73.5% (n = 147). Using a score of 5 as a cut point, 147 patients with HF in our study sample had poor sleep quality. The most common types in all classes were waking up for urination, waking in the middle of the night or early morning, waking up due to coughing and snoring, and difficulty falling asleep within 30 minutes. However, waking up due to feeling cold or hot were rarely reported in all classes of patients with HF. Poor sleep quality negatively affects the quality of life in patients with HF by decreasing physical cognitive and psychosocial performance in those patients. This is the first study in literature study sleep quality in the different New York Heart Association functional classes.

Sleep quality and sleep patterns among recovered individuals during post-COVID-19 among Jordanian: A cross-sectional national study

“…[ 5 , 6 ] Sleep is a critical biological function for preserving one’s health and well-being by regulating the body’s internal balance. Sleep quality improves physical and mental health, [ 7 – 9 ] whereas sleep issues have a detrimental impact on the body’s circadian rhythm, which affects the body’s immune response. [ 5 , 7 , 10 ]…”

[11,12] There is a link between sleep disturbances and infectious illness hazards, the occurrence and advancement of numerous diseases, including depression and other psychiatric disorders.…”

Dimensions of sleep characteristics and predictors of sleep quality among heart failure patients: A STROBE compliant cross-sectional study in Jordan

“…Identifying the prevalence of poor sleep quality among each NYHA class of patient with HF, help the nurses to easily assess the level of sleep quality for those patients and to offer more comprehensive care plan according to their NYHA class. [ 25 ] Also, when health care providers are understanding the relationship between the severity of the clinical manifestations and the types of disturbances in sleep in each class of HF, they can enhance sleep quality by the effective managing for these manifestations.…”
