Résumé

Insomnia is the most common sleep disorder among patients on hemodialysis and has a strong relation with fatigue, depression, low immune system, increased risk of cardiovascular problems, and low quality of life. The aim of this study was to explore the factors associated with insomnia in patients undergoing hemodialysis.  Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 100 patients on hemodialysis (75 males and 25 females) from a hemodialysis center in Greece were included. Insomnia was assessed via the "Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS)" and a questionnaire about demographic and clinical characteristics. The Kruskal-Wallis, Mann-Whitney tests, and Spearman's rho criterion were used to evaluate the association between insomnia score and patients' characteristics. Multiple linear regression was performed to assess the effect of characteristics on patients' insomnia. Statistically significantly high levels of insomnia were found in patients over the age of 60 years (p = 0.002), in divorced/widowed patients (p = 0.007), in patients who had comorbid diseases (p = 0.001), in patients who felt tired after hemodialysis (p = 0.001), in those who had continuous fatigue (p = 0.001) and change in body image (p = 0.003), in those who often had itching (p = 0.007) and stiffness in joints (p = 0.001) and in patients who had limitations in the clothes they could wear (p = 0.001). The findings of this study showed that insomnia had a strong association with increased age of patients, comorbidities, fatigue, change in body appearance, pruritus, and limitation in clothes they could wear. Therefore, there is a necessity for early assessment of sleep quality and effective treatment of sleep disorders in hemodialysis patients in order to reduce morbidity and mortality and improve the quality of their life.
