ABSTRACT
Background:
Poor sleep quality impedes the progression of chronic illnesses, while chronic illnesses themselves are caused by poor sleep quality. Despite this fact, there is no research that has been conducted in Ethiopia that provides a thorough estimate of the self-reported sleep quality among patients with chronic illnesses. In order to present a complete picture of poor sleep quality among diabetes, hypertension, heart failure, cancer, HIV/AIDS and epilepsy patients, this systematic review and meta-analysis was carried out.Methods:
Systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to estimate the quality of sleep among patients with chronic illness in Ethiopia. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta Analysis standard was followed in the reporting of this systematic review and meta-analysis. An extensive exploration of digital repositories, including PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane, Africa Journal of Online, Google Scholar, and an advanced Google search, was conducted to obtain published studies until December 1st, 2023 detailing poor sleep quality of patients with chronic illness. STATA version 17 commands were used to create the pooled estimate. The I2 test and Egger's test, respectively, were used to identify the presence of heterogeneity and publication bias. To manage heterogeneity, a subgroup analysis and random effect model were used.Results:
A total 21 articles with a total of 7393 participants were included in the final systematic review and meta-analysis. The pooled estimate of poor sleep quality among patients with chronic illness was 52% (95% of CI 48%, 59%; I2 = 97.26%). In subgroup analysis, the highest pooled estimate of poor sleep quality was observed in cancer patients 63% (95% CI (95% CI 45% - 80%). Regarding to data collection period, the highest pooled estimate of poor sleep quality was seen during spring 68% (95% CI 42% - 94%).Conclusions:
Patients with chronic illnesses in Ethiopia had a high pooled estimate of poor sleep quality. Patients with cancer had the highest pooled estimate of poor-quality sleep compared with other patients. Patients with chronic illnesses had trouble sleeping in the spring, according to this systematic review and meta-analysis. Therefore, attention and intervention should be given to enhance the quality of sleep for patients with chronic illnesses.
