Objective: This study aims to elucidate the classification characteristics and determinants of sleep quality in individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) to inform tailored interventions. Methods: A total of 231 COPD patients were selected using convenience sampling from January to June 2025 at the respiratory and critical care department of a tertiary hospital in Inner Mongolia. Data were collected through a general questionnaire, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, COPD Assessment Test, and Self-Efficacy for Managing Chronic Disease 6-Item Scale. Latent profile analysis was employed to categorize sleep quality, and logistic regression was conducted to identify factors influencing each profile. Results: Sleep quality among COPD patients exhibited three distinct categories: better sleep group (40.6%), low efficiency-maintenance group (46%), and high hypnotic-use with daytime dysfunction group (13.4%). Sex, COPD Assessment Test score, and self-efficacy score were found to influence sleep quality in COPD patients. Conclusion: There is population heterogeneity in sleep quality among patients with COPD. Special attention should be given to individuals with low efficiency-maintenance and high hypnotic-use with daytime dysfunction profiles to implement targeted interventions aimed at enhancing sleep satisfaction and overall quality of life.
