BACKGROUND: Aging is associated with a wide range of sleep complaints. Health-promoting behaviors are the most important and effective factor in maintaining and improving the health of the elderly. The present research aims to investigate the relationship between sleep quality and health-promoting behaviors in older people.
METHODS: This descriptive correlational research was conducted in Imam Khomeini Hospital affiliated to Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Firozkoh City, Tehran Province, Iran, in 2020. 384 old people were selected by available sampling. For data collection, the hospital information system (HIS), health-promoting lifestyle profile II (HPLP-II), and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) were used. Data were analyzed using a t-test and Pearson's correlation coefficient by SPSS software.
RESULTS: The highest frequency was related to people with bad sleep quality (72%). Sleep quality had a significant correlation with nutrition (r = -0.129, P = 0.010), stress management (r = -0.096, P = 0.058), and health-promoting behaviors (r = -0.128, P = 0.001). There was an inverse correlation between taking responsibility for health, physical activity, interpersonal relationships, and spiritual growth with sleep quality, but it was not statistically significant (P = 0.56).
CONCLUSION: Health-promoting behaviors depend on a deep link with the sleep quality index, and it is necessary to emphasize sleep quality and other factors of appropriate health-promoting behaviors in the elderly more than anything else.
