Objective:To explore the relationship between sleep quality and depression among fertile women, and provide a scientific reference for protecting the mental health of fertile women.Methods:The study included 12 518 fertile women who were 15 to 49 years old from the Second Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University and Maternal and Child Health Hospital of Qujing in Yunnan Province from January 2019 to November 2019. Sleep quality was collected by using self-reported questionnaires, and depression was evaluated by using the Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale. We used logistic regression to analyze the relationship between sleep quality and depression after controlling for other factors.Results:Among 12 518 fertile women, 3197 had poor sleep quality which accounted for 25.54% (95% CI=24.77%-26.30%). The detection rate of depression was 55.59% (6959/12 518; 95% CI=54.72%-56.46%). The detection rate of depression of the poor sleep quality group [75.40% (2410/3197)] was significantly higher than that of the good sleep quality group [48.80% (4549/9321), P<0.001]. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that after controlling for basic demographic characteristics, health status, lifestyle habits and other factors, depression was still associated with poor sleep quality (a OR=3.28, 95% CI=2.99-3.60; P<0.001). Conclusion:The problem of depression and sleep quality on fertile women cannot be ignored, and sleep quality was associated with depression significantly which suggested that it was necessary to keep good life style, improve sleep quality and promote mental health.
