Abstract

Objective: Describe the sleep status of late-stage cancer patients at Nam Dinh provincial General Hospital.

Method: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 200 patients with late-stage cancer who were receiving inpatient treatment at Nam Dinh provincial General Hospital from March 2024 to August 2024.

Results: The average patient's sleep time was 5.03 ± 1,311 hours/night. 38% of patients cannot sleep within 30 minutes 3 times/week or more, 34.5% of patients wake up 3 times/week or more due to pain; 33.5% of patients wake up at midnight or early morning 3 times/week or more, 43.5% of patients wake up at midnight or early morning 1-2 times/week. 27% of patients find it very difficult to sleep, only 2% of patients feel no difficulty sleeping. Assessed according to the PSQI scale, 7.5% of patients had good sleep quality, 92.5% had poor sleep quality.

Conclusions: There is a worrying situation about sleep quality in late-stage cancer cancer patients, requiring specialized medical and care interventions to improve sleep quality and enhance the quality of life for this group of patients.
