Antecedentes: las alteraciones del sueño están presentes en víctimas de asalto sexual, siendo importante determinar su frecuencia, comorbilidad y asociaciones posibles.
Objetivos: determinar la prevalencia de alteraciones del sueño y explorar la calidad del sueño en una muestra de mujeres víctimas de asalto sexual en Bogotá.
Material y métodos: estudio descriptivo transversal, realizado en 2004, en una muestra de mujeres víctimas de asalto sexual que aceptaron participar en la investigación mediante consentimiento informado. Se aplicaron las escalas de autoevaluación validadas nacionalmente: índice de calidad de sueño de Pittsburgh y escala de somnolencia de Epworth.
Resultados. Las mujeres estudiadas fueron jóvenes, de estrato socioeconómico bajo y medio, la mayoría sin relación de pareja estable, con talla de 1.59 m. en promedio (IC95%=1.55-1.61), peso de 52 Kg. en promedio (IC95%=48.77-55.45) y un promedio de IMC de 21.28 (IC95%=20.16-21.77). Se encontró somnolencia diurna excesiva en 10/34 (29.41%) víctimas, mala calidad de sueño en 22/34 (64.71%), eficiencia inadecuada del sueño en 18/34 (52.94%), perturbaciones del sueño en 20/34 (52.94%), síntomas presuntivos de trastornos respiratorios ligados al sueño y consumo de hipnóticos en 9/34 (26.47%); insomnio y pesadillas en 23/34 (67.65%), hallazgos similares a los informados en otros estudios.
Conclusión. La prevalencia de alteraciones del sueño y la calidad de sueño en la población estudiada es cuantitativamente importante y similar a la encontrada en otros estudios.
Background: sleep disorders area present in victims of sexual assault, being important to determinc ist possible frequency, comorbidity and associations.
Objective: to determine the prevalence of sleep disorders and explore the sleep quality in a group of female victims of rape in Bogota.
Material and methods: a cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted in 2004 with a sample of female victims of rape who provided their consent to participate in the study. Nationwide validated self-rating scales were used as measures: Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and Epworth Sleepiness Scale.
Results. The young women who were recruited had the following characteristics: they had a low-moderate socio-economical condition; the majority had no partner; mean height = 1.59 m. (IC 95%=1.55-1.61); mean weight = 52 Kg. (IC 95%=48.77-55.45) and mean BMI=21.28 (IC 95%= 20.16-21.77). Daily excessive somnolence was found in 10/34 (29.41%) victims; low quality of sleep, in 22/34 (64.71%) victims; reduced sleep efficiency, in 18/34 (52.94%) victims; sleep perturbations, in 20/34 (52.94%); presumptive symptoms of respiratory sleep disorders and consumption of hypnotics, in 9/34 (26.47%) victims; and insomnia and nightmares in 23/34 (67.65%) victims. These findings are similar to others reported by different authors.
Conclusion. The prevalence of sleep disorders and the disturbance of quality of sleep in the study sample were quantitatively significant and similar to other studies.
