N2  - This study describes sleep disturbance and related factors in a group of 74 patients at 1 week after discharge using a sleep problems questionnaire developed by the authors. Results indicated that a significant proportion of patients reported a problem with their sleep (73%). Several items were identified as highly prevalent, including frequent nighttime awakenings (87%), napping during the daytime (65%), sleeping alone (64%), experiencing pain during the night (62%), and difficulties with sleep onset (62%). Results suggest numerous possible interventions to improve patients' sleep quality. The usefulness of a more extensive questionnaire was also indicated.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
