Sleep is an important part of daily life, and good quality of sleep is an integral part of great health and quality of life. The lack of sleep and unhealthy lifestyle negatively affect the human body. Sleep disorders are an essential risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. It is extremely important to assess the influence of the lifestyle factors on the quality of sleep. Objective of the Research – to establish connection between the sleep quality and lifestyle of patients with ischemic heart disease. Methodology of the Research. A quantitative research has been carried out. The instrument: anonymous questionnaire survey. The collected quantitative data was systematised and graphically represented using the method of descriptive statistics. The survey sample consisted of: 164 patients with ischemic heart disease. The study has been carried out in compliance with the ethical principles. Results of the Research. It has been established that 87.2 % of patients with ischemic heart disease have poor quality of sleep, and episodic sleep disorders have been diagnosed for 49.4 % of patients. It has been observed that the lifestyle habits of patients are not very satisfactory: 20.7 % of patients consume vegetables, 18.3 % – fruit, 61 % add additional salt to the food, 62.2 % have used tobacco in the last 12 months, 74.4 % have consumed alcoholic beverages in the last 12 months, and only 26.2 % of patients engage in extremely intense or intense physical activities. It has been observed that the use of additional salt (p<0.05), the use of tobacco (p<0.05), physical activity (p<0.05), depressed mood and anxiety (p<0.001) have negatively affected the quality of sleep as well as the degree of the severity of the sleep disorder. It has been established that the patients who rated their quality of life (p<0.05) and health condition (p<0.05) better, were the ones who claimed that they have promoted a healthy lifestyle and have not complained about the quality of sleep. Conclusion. Patients with ischemic heart disease have poor quality of sleep as well as not very satisfactory lifestyle habits. Unhealthy lifestyle negatively affects the quality of sleep of patients as well as the severity of the sleep disorder. Patients whose quality of life as well as the health condition was very good or good, have promoted healthy lifestyle more often and had no complaints of the quality of sleep. |
