Examining the factor structure of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and its determinants among GI cancer patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Poor sleep quality is one of the prevalent manifestations experienced by cancer patients. There is a lack of research focusing specifically on sleep quality and affecting factors in Gastrointestinal (GI) cancer patients. This study aimed to assess the potential interaction between dietary, comorbid conditions, demographic, and socioeconomic determinants of sleep quality in GI cancer patients.

Methods

In a cross-sectional study, the Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was completed for 875 adult patients suffering from GI cancer in a referral hospital. We conducted structural equation modeling analyses to evaluate the potential interaction between dietary and socioeconomic determinants of sleep quality in GI cancer patients.
