However, it has not been well studied, especially in low-income countries like Ethiopia. This study\u2019s objective was to assess the degree of sleep quality and related factors among people with asthma who had follow-up visits at public hospitals in the East Gojjam Zone.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec028\">\n<jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>An institutional-based cross-sectional study design was conducted among 406 people with asthma through consecutive sampling techniques at public hospitals in East Gojjam Zone from June 6 to July 1, 2022. Sleep quality was measured by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index through a face-to-face interview, and the collected data were entered into Epi Data version 4.4.2 and exported to SPSS version 25 for analysis. Logistic regression was fitted to assess the association between dependent and independent variables. Variables with a P-value <jats:italic>&lt;<\/jats:italic>0.05 in multivariable logistic regression were considered statistically significant for the dependent variable.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec029\">\n<jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Among participants, 64.5% had poor sleep quality. Having anxiety (AOR\u2009=\u20092.67), comorbidity (AOR\u2009=\u20093.11), poor sleep hygiene practices (AOR\u2009=\u20092.99), severe asthma (AOR\u2009=\u20092.31), very poorly controlled asthma (AOR\u2009=\u20094.00) and current alcohol use (AOR\u2009=\u20093.20) were associated with poor sleep quality.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec030\">\n<jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>The magnitude of poor sleep quality was high in this study. Severe asthma, having comorbidity, very poorly controlled asthma, poor sleep hygiene practices, having anxiety symptoms and current use of alcohol were variables associated with poor sleep quality. Reduction in alcohol consumption, improving sleep hygiene practices, and treating comorbidities would be effective measures for improving poor sleep quality. Individuals with severe asthma and uncontrolled asthma symptoms need special attention.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0323284","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,21]],"date-time":"2025-05-21T20:09:50Z","timestamp":1747858190000},"page":"e0323284","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Sleep quality and associated factors among people with asthma at public hospitals in east gojjam zone, North West Ethiopia, 2022"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-4672-633X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Menberu","family":"Gete","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mezinew Sintayehu","family":"Bitew","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tirusew","family":"Wondie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bekalu","family":"Bewket","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Haile","family":"Amiha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Henok","family":"Mulugeta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wuhabie Tsega","family":"Sahilu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Balew","family":"Adane","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Aster","family":"Tadesse","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Baye Tsegaye","family":"Amlak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dejen Tsegaye","family":"Alem","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tiliksew Liknaw","family":"Alemneh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Asmamaw","family":"Getnet","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"340","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"pone.0323284.ref001","article-title":"Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) Strategy 2021\u2013Executive summary and rationale for key changes.","volume":"10","author":"HK Reddel","year":"2021","journal-title":"J Allergy Clin Immunol Pract"},{"issue":"10258","key":"pone.0323284.ref002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1204","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(20)30925-9","article-title":"Global burden of 369 diseases and injuries in 204 countries and territories, 1990-2019: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019","volume":"396","author":"GBD 2019 Diseases and Injuries Collaborators","year":"2020","journal-title":"Lancet"},{"key":"pone.0323284.ref003","first-page":"2019","volume-title":"Data Visualization","author":"G Compare","year":"2018"},{"issue":"8","key":"pone.0323284.ref004","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"784","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jaac.2013.06.001","article-title":"Assessment and management of sleep problems in youths with attention-deficit\/hyperactivity disorder","volume":"52","author":"S Cortese","year":"2013","journal-title":"J Am Acad Child Adolesc Psychiatry"},{"key":"pone.0323284.ref005","article-title":"Sleep quality: An evolutionary concept analysis","volume-title":"Nursing Forum","author":"K.L.
