The variables of this study were labor length, mode of delivery and quality of sleep. Data were collected during 3 months. Data were analyzed using SPSS software (version 18) and Chi-square, Independent T-test and ANOVA tests. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results: The mean score of sleep quality in pregnant women was 8.86 ± 4.2 and mean length of labor was 3.53±2.1 h. Also, 74 women (50.3%) had vaginal delivery and 73 (49.7%) had cesarean delivery. Moreover, 47 (64.5%) of women with cesarean section had sleep disorder, while sleep disorders were observed only in 35.5% (26) of women with vaginal delivery. Mean duration of labor in women who have had sleep disorder was significantly higher than those without sleep disorder (p= 0.04).
