Abstract:
Objective To explore sleep state of urban and rural elderly stroke patients, and to provide the basis for countermeasures. Methods A total of 6 173 elder patients from July 2012 to May 2013 were selected by using the stratified cluster sampling method. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index ( PSQI) was used for the sleep evaluation. Results The incidence of sleeping disorders was 12. 4% in the urban and 15. 4% in the rural elder patients, which was significantly different (χ2 =11. 154,P<0. 01). In addition, 1 641 patients had sleeping disorders, with an incidence of 26. 6%. Among them, the incidence of sleeping disorders was 34. 9% in the elder patients with stroke, and 25. 2%in the elder patients without stroke, which was significantly different (χ2 =35. 473, P<0. 01). There were significant differences in the sleep quality, sleep latency, terms of sleep time, sleep efficiency, the use of hypnotic drugs, daytime dysfunction, sleep disorders between patients with and without stroke (P <0. 05). Conclusions The incidence of sleeping disorders in elderly people is high, and stroke is one of the influential factors of sleep disorders, so we should pay more attention to it.
