Prevalence of Insomnia in patients with Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery: A cross-sectional study from selected region of Hamirpur, India

This cross-sectional survey was conducted over the course of a year in 2021 among people of the Indian city of Hamirpur, Himachal Pradesh, with participants selected by a convenient sampling procedure. Patients who did not use any form of medicine for their sleep problems were eligible for inclusion, but those who already had sleep disorders and used sleeping pills or psychoactive substances, or had a serious mental disease and drug addiction were excluded. Ultimately, 50 was selected for the research. Each participant completed the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) questionnaire, which consists of five items with a total score ranging from 0 to 28. This study found that individuals had an ISI of 13 ± 6.2 before and 21 ± 2.2 after CABG. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first research to describe the prevalence of insomnia in patients undergoing CABG in this population/region. According to our findings from comparing the Insomnia Severity Index, severe problems were previously documented in patients undergoing CABG. It is because the worry of a heart attack might occur at any time prior to the CABG. After the CABG, the blockage issue in the heart attack incidence were eliminated, and the assurance of life felt rose, thus severe sleeplessness decreased significantly over time.
