    Abstract:
    INTRODUCTION: Poor sleep quality during pregnancy leads to adverse neonatal outcomes such as low birth weight, intrauterine growth retardation, preterm birth, and operative birth. Though it has many consequences, a limited study was conducted on the prevalence and associated factors of poor sleep quality among pregnant women in Ethiopia. OBJECTIVE: This study is aimed to determine poor sleep quality and associated factors among pregnant women attending antenatal care units at the selected referral hospitals. METHODS: Institution-based cross-sectional study was used from April 20 to June 10, 2021. A The data were collected through systematic random sampling. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was used to assess the outcome variable based on interview. RESULTS: Out of 423, almost 414 participated in the study with a response rate of 97.9%. The prevalence of poor sleep quality was 54.6% (95% CI: 49.7%, 59%). Based on the trimester; about 44.8%, 36.8%, and 64.2% were observed poor sleep quality in the first, second, and third trimesters, respectively. Third trimester [AOR (Adjusted Odd Ratio) = 4.33; 95% CI (Confidence Interval) (1.43, 13.7)], primigravida [AOR = 4.03; 95% CI (2.59, 7.97)], para ≥2 [AOR = 1.95: 95% CI (1.09, 3.48)], depression [AOR = 4.59: 95% CI (2.31, 9.15)], and perceived stress [AOR = 1.15: 95% CI (1.1, 1.22)] were factors significantly associated. CONCLUSION: One in every two pregnant women has poor sleep quality. Depression, perceived stress, gestational age, gravida, and parity were identified as associated factors with poor sleep quality. Therefore, healthcare providers should work on screening and counseling for sleep problems during prenatal checkups.
