Abstract

Sleep is referred a regular, recurring and easily revocable state of organism which is characterized by relative immobility and signifcant increase in response threshold to environmental stimuli sleep disorders are common among haemodialysis patients. Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of sleep hygiene education on sleep quality in haemodialysis patients. Materials and Methods: This study is a randomized controlled clinical trial. The participants of this study were 60 haemodialysis patients admitted to the Dialysis Center of Shahid Ayatollah Madani Hospital of Khoy, affliated with the Urmia University of Medical Sciences. Sampling was done randomly and the partcipants were randomly divided into intervention group (30 patients) and control group (30 patients). Sleep quality of participants was measured before and after the intervention by Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Training process for sleep hygiene behaviours was presented to the participants face-toface. The data were analysed using SPSS 16. results: A signifcant difference in the mean (standard deviation) score for PSQI (p<0.001) was observed before and after intervention in the intervention group, while in the control group, the difference was not signifcant (p=0.704), In addition, a signifcant difference was observed in the mean (standard deviation) score for PSQI between the two intervention and control groups after the educational intervention (p=0.034). conclusion: Sleep hygiene education, alongside other approaches, is a low-cost, accessible, and practical method which can be implemented within a short period of time
