Sleep quality in hypertension patients is generally disrupted due to several factors that can impact on poor sleep quality and will affect the increase in blood pressure. The objective of the study was to assess the sleep quality of clients with hypertension. Sample collection conducted here was the accidental sampling technique based on 35 respondents suffering from hypertension. The data were collected using PSQI questionnaire and tension metre (sphygmomanometer). The results showed that there were classified into 3 degrees I, II, and III respondents having poor sleep quality. This may occur because of the higher degree of hypertension classification. It is likely to experience poor sleep quality based on some components of sleep quality such as subjectivity, sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep duration and sleep disturbance; thus, resulting in disruption of activity on the next day. It was suggested that the clients should pay an attention on the quality of sleep including in the work place.
