Popis: Objective The aim of the study was to investigate the association between dialysis shift and subjective sleep quality in chronic haemodialyzed patients. Design A cross-sectional observational study. Participants and methods A total of 206 haemodialyzed patients aged from 22 to 71 participated in this study. Participants were grouped into the morning-shift and other-shifts groups. Subjective sleep quality was measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). All participants also completed the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI). Results Dialysis shift significantly predicted the PSQI score with patients receiving morning-shift haemodialysis having better sleep quality ( β =0.15, p =0.01). Other independent predictors of the PSQI score included depression ( β =0.42, p β =0.38, p β =0.20, p 0.001). Together these factors explained 48.2% of the variance in the PSQI score. Conclusion Morning dialysis shift was significantly associated with better subjective sleep quality in chronic haemodialyzed patients after adjusting for other confounders.
