Background: To observe the sleep quality of patients with bipolar disorder (BD), analyze the possible causes of sleep disorders, and take targeted interventions, which are particularly necessary to improve the sleep quality of patients and promote the development of the disease. Methods: Between January 2022 and January 2024, 60 patients with BD were enrolled in the study, and sleep quality in all participants was assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). By comparing the general data of patients with and without sleep disorders, the influencing factors that may lead to poor sleep quality were analyzed. Results: The assessment results of the PSQI scale of 60 patients with BD showed that there were 40 patients with sleep disorders, which were included in the poor sleep quality group (PSQI ≥ 7); the average score of the PSQI scale was (15.25 ± 1.03) points. There were 20 patients without sleep disorders who were included in the good sleep quality group; the average score of PSQI scale was (3.20 ± 0.41) points. The Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS), cortisol level and percentages of social support (low level), and coping style (negative coping) in the patients of poor sleep quality group were higher than those in the good sleep quality group (P 1, P = .017, .006, .014, .007, .005 respectively). Conclusion: Anxiety, depression, cortisol level, social support, and coping style are all related to the sleep quality of patients with BD. The SAS, SDS, cortisol levels, low social support, and negative coping style are risk factors for poor sleep quality.
