Abstract
Aim: The aim of this systematic review and the meta-analysis was to evaluate the Sleep Disorders in Iranian pregnant women.
Methods: The proposed protocol and the methods used in this systematic study were developed based on the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions and reported according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). Observational studies conducted on the general population are attached and studies on specific populations (acute conditions, home care centers) were excluded.
Results: According to the results of the randomized method (95% CI), the overall sleep disorders prevalence rate among 996 persons was 80.8% (95% CI 78.2%-82.9%), I2 = 97.
Conclusion: Since sleep disorders in individuals are likely to bring about not only undesirable health and social effects (through influencing the individual’s performance in fulfilling occupational and familial duties) but also impose huge medical and caring costs that will ultimately result in unfavorable economic effects in the society. Thus, through conducting studies on understanding the effective factors, it is possible to prevent and treat these disorders and inhibit the possible consequences of such disorders.
