Background and Objective: Pregnant women are susceptible to sleep disorders due to physiological and hormonal changes. Various demographic, socioeconomic and pregnancy-related factors affect the prevalence of disorders. Knowledge on prevalence of insomnia and related factors in Zahedan is lacking. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of insomnia and its related factors in pregnant women.
Materials and Methods: This study was a cross sectional design in Zahedan, Iran during August 2021 and February 2022. Healthy pregnant women referred to urban comprehensive health centers were recruited. Through a researcher-made checklist, demographic, socioeconomic status (SES) and pregnancy-related features were measured. Insomnia was evaluated using Sleep Condition Indicator (SCI) screening tool. Linear regression analysis was used to analyze the data. The significance level of the statistical tests was considered as P <0.05.
Results: A total, 240 pregnant women (26.30± 6.24 years old) were included. The prevalence rate of insomnia was 47%. Falling asleep and waking up during the night for >30 min were 56.3% and 72.0%, respectively. Daytime functioning impairment had a prevalence rate of 57.5%. Multivariable analysis showed that insomnia disorder is more common in women from the middle (β =6.22, P-value=0.002) and second richest economic status (4.26, 0.04), with a weight of more than 75 kg (4.55, 0.04) and in the third trimester of pregnancy (3.39, 0.01).
Conclusion: Insomnia symptoms are prevalent among pregnant women in Zahedan.  Pregnant women from the middle and second richest economic status, those who are overweight, and in the third trimester should be the target of intervention and educational programs to reduce and manage sleep disorders.
