Abstract

The regular growth and development of the mind and body both depend on sleep. A good sleep is quite important for a healthy pregnancy. A woman's life goes through a unique and significant transformation during pregnancy. As a continuum of feelings ranging from elation and joy to significant load brought on by physical strain and psychological problems, it has significant physical, physiological, interpersonal alterations, and psychological effects. A quantitative research approach and non-experimental exploratory research design was used including 250 antenatal women as sample visiting antenatal OPD in DMCH, Ludhiana, Punjab. Data were gathered using the convenience sampling method. Socio-demographic profile, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and structured checklist were used to assess sleep quality and its associated factors among antenatal women. Quantitative data was obtained by using interview technique. Data was collated, and descriptive and inferential statistics were used for analysis (SPSS, 19). Among 250 antenatal women, 58.4% had poor sleep quality whereas 41.6% had good sleep quality. Factors like comfortable clothing (99.6%), doing sleep relevant activities on bed (77.6%), frequent urination at night (68%), drinking milk at bed time (63.6%), emotional changes/mood swings (55.2%), irritability and frustration due to physiological changes (53.2%), frequent back pain (46.8%), fear related to mode of delivery (45.6%), sleeping environment (44%) and fatigue (40%) were found to be the most common associated factors affecting the sleep quality of antenatal women. While the least associated factors found were issues related to marital adjustment (4.4%), drinking caffeinated drinks (2.8%) and joint pain (5.6%). According to the findings of the current study, more than half of pregnant women had dispersed sleep quality. Mean maternal weariness was substantially correlated with parity and gestational age.
