LAUSR

This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of insomnia and associated sociodemographic factors among refugees in Jordan. A cross-sectional survey was undertaken with a representative sample of 373 refugees. The majority of refugees had moderate to severe insomnia (n = 196, 52.2%). Older age, living in the city of Mafraq, having secondary education or below, unemployed, and lacking easy access to medication were the predictors of higher insomnia. More attention by health care providers including nurses should be given to older refugees and those with a lower level of education, as these groups tend to be more liable to suffer from insomnia.
