Description
Summary:Purpose The sleep disturbance in cancer patients is more prevalent, and it significantly affects these patients’ recovery after the operation. However, the clinical characteristics regarding sleep quality are scarce. This study aimed to evaluate the quality of preoperative sleep quality and its risk factors in different cancer patients requiring elective surgery. Patients and methods Cancer patients who were scheduled for elective surgery were selected. The demographic data, basic preoperative diseases, and factors related to the preoperative hospital environment were also recorded. Self-made questionnaires (such as gender, age, and personal history), and the Anxiety Self-Assessment Scale were used to assess the patient's underlying condition. The modified Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was used to evaluate the preoperative sleep status. Results A total of 297 patients completed the investigation. The incidence of preoperative sleep disturbance in cancer patients was 47.8%. Multiple logistic regression showed that patients with PSQI ≥ 7 were associated with females (odds ratios [95% confidence intervals]): 1.815 [1.031–3.193], p  = 0.039), and the ward space was confined (3.127 [1.016–9.625], p  = 0.047), which increased the possibility of sleep disturbance in cancer patients. Meanwhile, increased anxiety levels (1.323 [1.261–1.439], p
