Two-thirds of the subjects (63.1%) reported poor sleep quality. Factors significantly associated with poor sleep quality included higher education levels, history of abortion, advanced gestational age, screen use within an hour before sleep, poor social support, antenatal depression, and antenatal anxiety. The multivariable linear regression model identified antenatal depression (B = 0.121), antenatal anxiety (B = 0.037), higher education (B = 0.113), history of abortion (B = 0.904), and advanced gestational age (B = 0.006) as significant factors associated with poor sleep quality.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The prevalence of poor sleep quality among pregnant women was relatively high.
