We aimed to investigate major contributors of poor quality sleep in patients with cancer that underwent treatment. Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study on 250 patients with cancer referred to the oncology department of Shohaday-e-Haftome-Tir Hospital, Tehran, Iran. Sleep quality as the main outcome of the study was evaluated using the Persian version of the self-report PSQI questionnaire. Global PSQI score >5 was categorized as the poor quality sleep. We also collected demographic and clinical data and physical performance status based on ECOG scale which grading is from 0:Fully active to 12:Death. Collecting the data regarding each patient was performed through medical records and face-to-face interviews.Results: Mean age (±SD) of the study participants was 52.8 (±11.9) and 177 (70.8%) patients were female. The overall proportion of poor quality sleep was 66.8%. Sleep disorders were observed more frequent in patients with partial (OR=2.0, 95% CI=1.0, 3.8) and complete (OR=7.4, 95% CI=1.5, 36.4) physical dysfunction (p-value<0.05). There was also a strong association between a history of sleep disorder and cancer-related insomnia (OR=4.4, 95% CI=1.9, 10.1). No association was found between age, marital status, metastasis status, and cancer location with poor quality sleep.Conclusion: Poor sleep quality had a high prevalence among our patients. Patients with physical functional impairment and those with psychiatric disorders (mood disorder) and pre-existing insomnia were the main groups of patients with a higher likelihood of cancer-related insomnia.
