Tóm tắt
Background: Sleep is a vital biological necessity for maintaining health throughout a woman's life stages. The significance of adequate rest remains constant and critical throughout every single stage of a woman's development and maturation, from the earliest moments of infancy and childhood right through the complexity of adulthood and into old age. Objectives: To describe the sleep quality of women aged 18-49 and identify some factors related to the sleep quality among women in this age group in Phong Dien District, Can Tho City. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 405 women aged 18–49 in Phong Dien District, Can Tho City, from December 2024 to February 2025. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) in Vietnamese version which was translated and validated by To Minh Ngoc to assess sleep quality among women. Results: The majority of participants demonstrated good sleep quality with 88.89%. In addition, 11.11% of women had poor sleep quality, with an average score of 2.95 ± 2.29. Chronic health conditions were identified as a factor significantly associated with the sleep quality of women aged 18–49 (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Based on the study's findings, which indicated that 11.11% of women aged 18–49 suffered from poor sleep quality, and importantly, that this issue was significantly exacerbated in women with chronic health conditions, a clear need for targeted intervention is apparent. Therefore, developing robust health education and counseling programs is necessary to effectively support all women in reducing their risk of sleep disorders. These tailored initiatives must especially focus on and prioritize providing specialized resources and behavioral strategies for women who are managing existing chronic health conditions, as they represent a particularly vulnerable group requiring dedicated support to improve overall sleep health and quality of life.
