Brief summary

Surgery causes poor sleep quality for several reasons eg. increasing stress hormonal production, pain, starvation, and environmental procedure namely noise, light, and nursing procedures. Poor sleep quality also brings numerous side effects including delirium, delayed recovery, and affect breastfeeding. We, therefore, aim to elucidate the incidence of poor sleep quality in parturients undergoing cesarean delivery in the early postoperative period and investigate the factors involving poor sleep conditions.

Detailed description

Surgery causes poor sleep quality for several reasons eg. increasing stress hormonal production, pain, starvation, and environmental procedure namely noise, light, and nursing procedures. Postoperative pain after cesarean delivery can be found as high as 70 percent in the first postoperative pain. Also, the side effect of anesthetic may cause poor sleep quality such as itching, nausea, and vomiting. Poor sleep quality brings numerous side effects including delirium, delayed recovery, and affect breastfeeding. The data on obstetric patients sleep quality in the early postoperative period is scarce. We, therefore, aim to elucidate the incidence of poor sleep quality in parturients undergoing cesarean delivery in the early postoperative period and investigate the factors involving poor sleep conditions.
