Evaluation of sleep quality in adolescents with hypertension

Abstract

Aims: This study aimed to evaluate sleep quality in adolescents diagnosed with hypertension and to compare the results with those of normotensive healthy adolescents of the same age group. Methods: Designed as an observational case-control study, this research included 160 adolescents between the ages of 13-18, with 80 patients and 80 healthy controls, between February and August 2023. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews using a clinical and sociodemographic data form, and sleep quality was assessed with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), which has been validated in Turkish. A significance level of p≤0.05 was accepted in the evaluation of data and tests. Results: Among the 160 participants, 35% (n=56) were female and 65% (n=104) were male. The mean PSQI total score was 6.225 (±1.090) in the case group and 4.287 (±1.264) in the control group. The mean daily sleep duration was 7.42 (±0.595) hours in the case group and 7.61 (±0.539) hours in the control group. Similarly, 72.5% (n=58) of the case group and 15% (n=12) of the control group had a PSQI total score above 5 (poor sleep quality). Sleep quality was lower in the case group. Good sleep quality (PSQI≤5) was observed in 27.5% (n=22) of the hypertensive adolescents, while 85% (n=68) of the controls had good sleep quality. Conclusion: It has been observed that adolescents diagnosed with hypertension have higher overall PSQI and component scores, thus hypertension is associated with poor sleep quality.
