0403 Sleep Health Among Ukrainians: One Year After Russia’s Full-scale Invasion

Introduction The study aims to investigate the prevalence of sleep disturbances, factors associated with sleep disturbances, and their impacts on quality of life among Ukrainian adults one year after Russia’s full-scale invasion. Methods Online survey data were collected using a quota sampling approach. A total of 2364 adults living in Ukraine aged 18-79 years were recruited from 5 April 2023 to 15 May 2023. Short sleep duration was defined as sleep duration ≤ 6 hours, and long sleep duration was defined as sleep duration ≥ 9 hours. Insomnia was assessed by the Insomnia Symptom Questionnaire. The World Health Organization Quality of Life Brief Version was used to assess the quality of life. Results The prevalence of short sleep duration, long sleep duration, and insomnia among the overall population was 39.4%, 6.9%, and 38.5%. Additionally, females (short sleep duration: adjusted odds ratio (OR)=1.38; insomnia: adjusted OR=2.11) and those with depressive symptoms (short sleep duration: adjusted OR=1.51; insomnia: adjusted OR=5.86) were more likely to have both short sleep duration and insomnia. Individuals working in essential public service are more likely to have short sleep duration than those not working in essential public service (adjusted OR=1.50). Both short sleep duration and insomnia were associated with lower quality of life in the physical and psychological domains. Insomnia was also linked to lower quality of life in the social relationships domain. Conclusion Sleep health among Ukrainians during the war is concerning. More studies are warranted to understand the impacts of the war on sleep health. Support (if any)
