To assess the association between self-reported sleep quality and nocturia in nursing home residents.
The association between self-reported poor sleep quality and nocturia was examined in eighty nursing home residents from two nursing facilities using logistic regression analysis.
Poor sleep quality was reported by 29% of the eighty participants (median age 89±7 years, 77% of women). Nocturia was more frequent in patients with versus without self-reported poor sleep quality (78% vs 47%, p=0.01). Nocturia was independently associated with self-reported poor sleep quality after controlling for age, gender, self-rated health status, cognitive frailty score, antidepressant and hypnosedative use (OR[95%CI] of 6.1[1.8-25.4]).
Nocturia severely impaired sleep quality in nursing home residents. Nocturia should be investigated in nursing home residents to optimize sleep quality.
