Abstract
Background: Sleep disorders, especially restless legs syndrome (RLS), are one of the most common complications of hemodialysis. The present study was carried out to investigate the relationship between RLS and the quality of sleep among the hemodialysis patients. Materials and Methods: In this descriptive-analytical study, 171 hemodialysis patients admitted to dialysis centers in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province were selected by census sampling. The subjects were divided into the two groups, with and without RLS. Data were collected using the sleep quality and RLS questionnaires. Results: Among 171 hemodialysis patients, 95 (55.6%) cases were men and 76 (44.4%) women 98 (57.3%) patients with RLS and 73 (42.7%) without RLS. The mean scores of the sleep quality in the severe syndrome, mild syndrome and no syndrome groups were 53.64±15.10, 46.05±9.79 and 31.50±12.82, respectively. There was a statistically significant difference in the sleep quality scores between the three groups (P<0.001). Conclusion: Considering the high prevalence of RLS in the hemodialysis patients, the preventive measures should be considered to avoid the syndrome.

Abstract
Background: Complaints of sleep disorders are common in ischemic heart patients, even after taking sleeping drugs. Evaluation of the causes of sleep disorders and modifying these factors that lead to the progression of patients' treatment is very important. Therefore, this study aimed at investigating sleep disorders and their effective factors in cardiac ischemic patients admitted to the cardiac care unit (CCU) with the use of sleeping drugs.
Materials and Methods: This descriptive analytical study was conducted on 250 patients in the CCU ward of Kashan Shahid Beheshti Hospital, during 2017-2018, using the random sampling method. Data were collected by a specific questionnaire with 0.90 validity and 0.76 reliability.
Results: In total, 80.4% of the patients reported a degree of sleep disorders. The most common problems were observed subsequently in the onset and duration of sleep, sleep disorders due to environmental factors, daily dysfunction, sleep disorder due to heart disease, and respiratory problems during sleep. Among the environmental factors, there was a significant relationship between sleep disorders and lack of a comfortable bed condition (OR=20.42), continuous illumination of the lights (OR=19.05), feeling of hot or cold (OR=15.44), feeling of the unpleasant odor (OR=13.60), and high levels of noise in the ward (OR=12.22).
Conclusion: According to the results of this study, paying more attention to these patients, comprehensive review of them, and the establishment of a care plan for the improvement of sleep conditions are necessary in hospitalized patients.
