Abstract

Background: Prisoners are a high-risk population with a high prevalence of psychiatric diseases and substance use disorder (SUD). Objective: The purpose of this study is to evaluate sleep quality and the related risk factors in prisoners with SUD in Iran. Method: In This descriptive cross-sectional study, a group of prisoners from Tehran Central Prison with a history of SUD were presented with a questionnaire to answer. The questionnaire had two parts: the first part served to gather demographic information and the second part was the standard Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Results: From the sample population (N = 500), 382 prisoners completed the questionnaire (response rate: 76.4%). The prevalence of poor sleep quality was 87.7%. Poor sleep quality was shown to associate with the total duration of imprisonment, the remainder of the prison term, having a tattoo, history of sedative use, use of more than one substance, and use of more than one sedative. No association was found between sleep quality and either age, incarceration history, or daily methadone dose. Conclusion: This study shows a high prevalence of poor sleep quality in prisoners with substance use disorder, indicating that prisoners need special care for their sleep problems. © 2020, © 2020 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
