FACTORS RELATED TO SLEEP IN PATIENTS WITH DIZZINESS AT THAI NGUYEN CENTRAL HOSPITAL
Overview
Abstract:
Objective: Analyze some
factors affecting sleep quality in patients with dizziness at Thai Nguyen
Central Hospital. Subjects: 85
patients with dizziness treated at Thai Nguyen Central Hospital, time: from
April 2024 to February 2025. Method: Descriptive
study. Results: The average age of
patients in the study was 63.75±14.9. The male/female ratio was 31/54. The
proportion of patients with stable income was 43%. 18% of patients were
financially dependent on their families. The proportion of patients living
alone was quite high (38.8%). The average duration of dizziness of patients was
5.62±5.47 years with an average DHI score of 41.48±13.19. Vestibular dizziness
was the most common form of dizziness (65.9%). The most common trigger factor
causing dizziness in these patients was when changing position (85.9%), with
episodic dizziness accounting for a large proportion (92.9%). Regarding sleep
quality: the average PSQI score was 13.35. The average sleep latency was
79.17±64.14 minutes. The mean sleep duration in these patients was 4.77 hours
per night. The proportion of patients with poor and relatively poor sleep efficiency
(sleep efficiency <75%) was 72.9%. Mean sleep duration was lower in patients
with lightheadedness, dizziness that
increased with exertion (p<0.05). Patients who were employed and had a
stable income had a lower rate of poor and relatively poor sleep efficiency
(sleep efficiency <75%) than patients with unstable or dependent income
(p<0.05). Decreased sleep efficiency was more common in patients with
dizziness that increased with changing position or without aggravating factors.
Patients with sleep disorder (PSQI>5) had a higher mean DHI score than
patients without it. Conclusion: The
study results showed that there was an association between sleep disturbance
and the severity of dizziness, lightheadedness;
dizziness without aggravating factors or dizziness that increased with changing
position.
