Quality of life and its association with insomnia among COVID-19 recovered postmenopausal women

This study conducted a cross-sectional telephone survey from August to December 2021 in Bangladesh, focusing on postmenopausal women who had recovered from COVID-19. Aimed at understanding the prevalence and associated factors of insomnia in this demographic, the research utilized a multistage sampling technique across eight divisions of Bangladesh. Data encompassed sociodemographic factors, COVID-19-related experiences, and the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI). The study aimed to shed light on the underexplored area of insomnia among postmenopausal women post-COVID-19, with implications for mental health and well-being strategies in Bangladesh.
