ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study was to analyze the correlation between sleep quality, menopausal symptoms, depression, daytime drowsiness, and sunlight of middle-aged women. The subjects of this study were 125 women middle-aged 40-60 years old, women who were not currently receiving any disease or hormone therapy. Subjects were asked face-to-face and directly input on a mobile questionnaire using a mobile phone, and data were collected in compliance with ethical guidelines. Data were collected using Menopause Rating Scale (MRS) for menopausal symptoms, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) for sleep quality, and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) for depression. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson's Correlation Coefficient method. As a result of this study, the higher the level of depression, menopausal symptoms, daytime drowsiness, apnea during sleep, snoring, contractions or convulsions during sleep, the quality of sleep in middle-aged women decreased and worsened. In particular, depression was a major related factor in deteriorating sleep quality. Also, the quality of sleep had a high correlation in the order of menopausal symptoms, no breathing during sleep, snoring, and daytime sleepiness. It is necessary to develop a nursing intervention to improve the quality of sleep by mediating related factors for middle-aged women with low sleep quality.
