Abstract

This quasi-experimental research aimed to examine the effect of the sleep enhancement program on sleep quality among pregnant women. The samples consisted of 52 normal pregnant women who received antenatal care at Hua Hin Hospital, Prachuap Khiri Khan Province and were equally divided into an experimental group (n = 26) and a control group (n = 26). The research instruments included the sleep enhancement program, the tape for creating guided imagery, the record form on the phone and LINE application, the record player or smartphone, the demographic questionnaire, and the Thai version of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (T-PSQI) with reliability of .85. The implementation and data collection were conducted from June to September, 2020. Data were analyzed by frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, Chi-square test, Fisher’s exact test, and independent t-test.

The research results revealed that after the experiment, the experimental group had statistically significantly lower mean score of sleep quality than that of the control group (t = 6.980, p < .001). Additionally, the experimental group had statistically significantly higher proportion of good sleep quality than that of the control group (p < .001).

This research suggests that nurse-midwives should apply this sleep enhancement program with routine care to improve sleep quality among pregnant women.
