Abstract
Abstract Purpose: Sleep disturbance is one of the most common issues in patients suffering from cancer. For healthy functioning, sleep is the basic need of every individual. Sleep has a ripple effect on human body systems. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the quality of sleep of patients admitted in oncology wards at the Aga Khan University Hospital and the factors contributing to sleep disruption. Method: The study was a prospective observational study conducted in the Department of Oncology, Aga Khan University over the period of two months from March 2019 to May 2019. The participants were selected using a non-probability convenient sampling, considering the constraints of time. A pre validated questionnaire was administered to 50 patients and 30 nursing staff of the same unit. Results: For the study 50 participants were included in which 64% were male and 36% were female patients .The length of stay of that patient was 3 to 14 days in oncology unit. The result reveals that 82% sleep was disturbed due to the external factors while in 18% it was due to the internal factors. Conclusion: Sleep deprivation should be a major cause for concern for healthcare providers. The nurse taking care of cancer patients needs to be extra vigilant to sleep disturbances. Quality of life can be negatively influenced due to lack of sleep when suffering from cancer.
