| Objective To study the effect of osteoporosis disease status on the sleeping quality in the elderly patients. Methods The sleeping quality of 412 elderly patients aged over 60 years with osteoporosis were investigated using Pittsburgh sleep quality index scale (PSQI) in the Affiliated Hospital of North China University of Science and Technology from July to December 2014. Data described in general, t test, variance analysis, and multiple linear regression analysis were performed using a SPSS 17. 0 statistical software. Results The result of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that sleeping quality of the elderly patients with osteoporosis was correlated to marriage, monthly income, disease factors living, walking slow, fatigue, OP level, pain segment, muscle spasms, the number of chronic diseases, and medication type (P <0.05). Conclusion Osteoporosis disease status affects the quality of sleep of the elderly patients. The more severe the pain it is, the greater the impact on the quality of sleep. The nocturnal sleep time reduces with self-care ability changes and weakness. Muscle spasm causes sleep disorders in elderly patients with osteoporosis. More measures should be taken to improve the quality of sleep in elderly patients with osteoporosis. |
