- Abstract
To identify the awareness about Sleep Hygiene in women attended at a menopause clinic. Method: The data were obtained from responses to a Sleep Hygiene questionnaire, from 72 women in perimenopause / menopause, with 30 of them being attended by the general climacteric clinic and 42 by the "sleep disorders" clinic. Statistical analyses were conducted using simple frequency, differentiating between the awareness, or not, of sleep hygiene, and a chi-square comparison between the subgroups. Results: For this group of women, overall, it was ascertained that 79,2% of them were not aware of the term Sleep Hygiene, despite, in many cases, recognizing the steps that lead to adequate sleep. Conclusion: The article suggests the importance of professional health assistance for women during the menopausal and postmenopausal transition phases with regard to promoting an awareness of the importance of the quality of sleep.
