Abstract

Objectives: To understand the current status of sleep quality and family care in patients with coronary heart disease and discuss the correlation between the two. Methods: A questionnaire was conducted on 164 patients with coronary heart disease using the General data questionnaire, the Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) and the Family care index using a convenient sampling method. Results: The median of sleep quality of patients with coronary heart disease was 9 points, and 60.4% of patients with sleep quality problems; The median of family care was 6.5, and 50% with poor family functioning; The total score of sleep quality was negatively correlated with the total score of family care and various dimensions(P<0.01). That is, the higher the level of family care for patients with coronary heart disease, the better the quality of sleep. Conclusions: Patients with coronary heart disease have poor sleep quality and major patients with dysfunction in the family. It is recommended to improve sleep state and promote the prognosis of the disease by increasing the level of family care of the patient.
