Perioperative sleep disorders in gynaecological daycase surgery patients and analysis of risk factors: protocol for a cross-sectional study.

introductionSleep disorders are clinical syndromes of disturbed sleep-wake rhythms and abnormal sleep quality. They have various causes, but their main manifestations are difficulty falling asleep, sleep disruption and daytime fatigue. These are common clinical symptoms in perioperative patients, especially in gynaecological patients. There is a lack of research on the factors influencing perioperative sleep disorders in gynaecological patients. The aim of this study is to assess the prevalence of sleep disorders in gynaecological surgery patients and to analyse the possible factors influencing them to provide new ideas for improving sleep disorders in this patient population. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This cross-sectional, descriptive and observational survey is planned to include 480 gynaecological day surgery patients. All patients who meet the inclusion criteria are eligible to join the study. The study will record preoperative diagnosis, surgical procedure, duration of surgery, type of anaesthesia, anaesthetic drugs, sleep quality, anxiety and depression levels and pain indices 30 days before and 1, 2, 3 and 30 days after surgery. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: The study was approved by the Ethics Committee of Beijing Shijitan Hospital Affiliated with Capital Medical University (Approval Number: sjtkyll-lx-2022(109)) before the start of recruitment. The results of the study will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publications and conference presentations. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: ChiCTR2200064533.
