A Cohort Study on Factors Affecting Sleep Quality in Women Undergoing Intrauterine Sperm Insemination (IUI) Treatment.

ABSTRACT: Introduction: The stress associated with infertility can impact an individual's sleep status by affecting the hypothalamus and pituitary axis, potentially leading to sleep disorders. On the other hand, sleep disorders can further contribute to the development of depression and anxiety. This study aims to investigate the factors that influence sleep quality in women undergoing intrauterine sperm insemination (IUI) treatment. Methods: This research involved a prospective cohort study conducted on 131 infertile women aged 18-45 years who sought services at the infertility clinic of Bent Al-Hoda Hospital in Bojnurd City and a private clinic between 2020 and 2023. Data were gathered using a demographic questionnaire, the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), the Beck Depression Inventory
