Abstract
Good sleep quality contributes positively to physical and psychological health. Adverse consequences of low sleep quality may be an especially important problem among pregnant women. There were 1,497 pregnant women answered the questionnaire which yields the response rate of 93.5%. The majority of participants were in their third trimmer. We found that there were 75.3% of pregnant women considered their sleep quality being good which is higher than the similar study conducted in Taiwan. However, higher percentage of pregnant women in our study took the sleeping pills. Results are discussed in the context of previous research and in relation to the Taiwanese context. Recommendations will be made in the area of future health plans to promote health of pregnant women in Taiwan.
