Đặc điểm rối loạn giấc ngủ ở người từ 18-60 tuổi sinh sống tại hai xã/phường tỉnh Thái Bình năm 2024-2025

Sleep disorders are increasingly recognized as a significant public health concern, particularly among adults aged 18-60, a demographic vital for societal development. This age group often faces various health challenges, with mental health and sleep quality being critical components. Global statistics consistently highlight a high prevalence of sleep disorders, underscoring their widespread impact on well-being and productivity. Understanding the specific characteristics and prevalence of these disorders is crucial for enriching public health data and informing the development of effective intervention strategies. This study aims to address this need by describing the current status of sleep disorders among adults aged 18-60 residing in two communes/wards of Thai Binh province during 2024-2025, thereby contributing to targeted public health initiatives.

Public health researchers, medical professionals, policymakers, and community health organizations focused on sleep disorders and mental health in adult populations.

This cross-sectional descriptive study aimed to delineate the prevalence and characteristics of sleep disorders among 1760 adults aged 18-60 residing in two specific communes/wards of Thai Binh province, Vietnam, between August 2024 and January 2025. Employing a structured survey approach, the research sought to provide crucial insights into the sleep health landscape of this adult population. The findings revealed a substantial prevalence of sleep disorders, affecting 24.2% of adults in the study area, with a notably higher incidence observed in females compared to males. Insomnia emerged as the most prevalent disorder, impacting 23.5% of the participants, followed by nightmares (4.8%) and restless legs syndrome (4.2%). Analysis of nocturnal symptoms indicated that nighttime awakening was exceedingly common (92%), alongside hypnic jerks (39%) and a sensation of excessive coldness during sleep (34.7%). A significant proportion of these disorders were found to be chronic, lasting over one year, suggesting persistent challenges for affected individuals. The average onset age for sleep disorders was around 48.93 years, aligning with the notion that these issues often manifest in mid-adulthood, a period marked by various biological, psychological, and social transitions. While the overall perceived sleep quality using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was moderate, nearly 25% of participants experienced poor sleep quality, with a considerable subset facing moderate to severe sleep disturbances. These results underscore the widespread nature and potential chronicity of sleep disorders in the adult population of Thai Binh province. The study's implications are significant for public health, highlighting an urgent need for targeted interventions and mental health support, particularly for females and those experiencing chronic symptoms. The data can serve as a foundation for developing tailored strategies to improve sleep health and overall quality of life in the region.
