Prevalence of poor sleep quality and associated factors among women in Ethiopia: systematic review and meta -analysis.
Synthesis in BMC public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe recognition of poor sleep quality is a significant health issue since there is a paucity of comprehensive data on sleep quality in women and the previous studies that have no providing a holistic understanding of the issue across different stages of women's lives. Therefore, conducting a systematic review and meta-analysis of poor sleep quality and associated factors among women in Ethiopia is an essential to provide actionable insights for healthcare providers and policymakers.
methodsA systematic review and meta-analysis of 11 studies among 6038 women of the exact heterogeneity of (I² = 99%) with a comprehensive search using electronic databases (PubMed, Cochrane Library, Google Scholar, and African Journal Online) was performed covering articles indexed through June 2000 to 1,August 2025. The quality of the included studies was evaluated using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Epidemiological Data Research Institute Critical Appraisal Checklist which studies scoring above 75% were considered for inclusion in the meta-analysis. The inter-rater reliability between the two reviewers for the JBI quality assessment was substantial (Cohen's κ = 0.82; 95% CI: 0.73-0.91), indicating good consistency in scoring across studies. The I
resultsThe pooled prevalence of poor sleep quality among 6038 women was 42.25% (95 CI: 30.80, 53.7). In this review, having depressed (AOR = 3.7, 95%CI: 2.82, 4.8), substance use (AOR = 2.00, 95%CI: 1.6, 2.6), Intimate Partners Violence (IPV) (AOR = 3.20, 95%CI: 1.95, 5.3), stress 2.50, 95%CI: 1.82, 3.43), and low social support (AOR = 4.2, 95%CI: 2.700, 6.60) were significantly associated with poor sleep quality.
conclusionsPoor sleep quality is affecting over 40% of women in Ethiopia. Depression, substance use, intimate partner violence, stress, and low social support are statistically associated with poor sleep quality. Therefore, targeting mental health and social support, alongside public education and policy integration, are essential to improve sleep quality.
