Abstract
The study aimed to evaluate the after-effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the sleep quality and patterns of women across different cultural settings within Iraq, spanning the period of 2022. A cross-sectional survey was administered to a diverse cohort of women from multiple provinces in Iraq. The survey measured various parameters, including sleep duration, onset latency, and disturbances. The post-pandemic period has seen a notable decline in sleep quality among the female population. Contributing factors include psychological stress, lifestyle changes due to the pandemic, and ongoing socio-economic challenges. The impact on sleep quality exhibited variation across different cultural groups, indicating a significant cultural influence on the pandemic's psychological aftermath. The study concludes that the post-pandemic phase has adversely affected the sleep health of women in Iraq, with cultural factors playing a critical role in these changes. There is a pressing need for culturally sensitive public health strategies to address sleep disturbances and mitigate their long-term effects on women's health. Public health initiatives should be tailored to address the specific cultural contexts within Iraq to improve sleep health among women. Further research is warranted to explore the long-term consequences of disturbed sleep patterns and the effectiveness of different intervention strategies.

Introduction

The COVID-19 pandemic has catalyzed profound changes across the healthcare spectrum, from patient behavior to clinical management and research focus. Our study examines the sustained impacts of the pandemic, especially as they relate to healthcare trends, with a focus on the implications for women’s health in the aftermath [1,2]. Consumer behavior, influenced heavily by the pandemic, has shown significant shifts in health service utilization and has brought to light the importance of mental health as a critical component of overall well-being [1]. Moreover, the management of pregnancy-related complications, such as preeclampsia, has had to adapt to new challenges posed by the pandemic, including altered renal function testing protocols and treatment approaches [2,3]. The reverberating effects of stress on cardiovascular health have become a pressing concern, with evidence suggesting an uptick in myocardial complications [3,12]. This situation has been further complicated by disruptions in routine healthcare, leading to potential delays in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions such as iron deficiency anemia [4]. The pandemic has also underscored the necessity to maintain vigilance against infectious diseases like HPV and urinary tract infections, which risk being overshadowed by the focus on COVID-19 [5,6]. In this new era, the convergence of healthcare and technology, particularly the integration of artificial intelligence in medical data analysis [13], is poised to revolutionize diagnostics and treatment paradigms. The utilization of machine learning for predicting health outcomes exemplifies the potential of technology to improve patient care in a post-pandemic world [14,15]. By building on these foundational insights, this research endeavors to shed light on the unique challenges and emerging opportunities that are shaping the landscape of women's health in the wake of the pandemic, with an emphasis on the Iraqi context. The advent of COVID-19 has necessitated a re-evaluation of our approach to healthcare, particularly in addressing the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying various diseases. The interplay between hormonal treatments and cardiovascular health has been highlighted, with research demonstrating the potential benefits of interventions like castration and goserelin acetate on ischemic reperfusion injuries [18]. Furthermore, the pandemic has revealed critical insights into hematological variances in COVID-19 patients, which may inform future therapeutic strategies [19]. The intricacies of the inflammatory response, particularly the role of NF-κβ and oxidative stress in atherosclerosis, have gained new relevance in the context of COVID-19, prompting a reassessment of existing treatments like candesartan [20]. Amidst these clinical challenges, the emergence of multi-drug resistant organisms, such as extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae, has compounded the urgency for advanced diagnostic and treatment modalities [21]. The immunological landscape, too, has been profoundly affected by the pandemic. Studies on the phylogenetic characterization of Listeria monocytogenes and Staphylococcus aureus have shed light on the evolutionary dynamics of these pathogens, which is crucial for vaccine development and public health planning [22] [28]. Concurrently, the role of subclinical hypothyroidism in conditions like preeclampsia has underscored the complex interplay between endocrine and immune systems in maternal health [23]. The psychological aftermath of the pandemic, characterized by heightened stress and its psycho-immunological consequences, has also been a focal point of recent studies, underscoring the need for integrative care approaches [30]. As we navigate these uncharted waters, the imperative for a multidisciplinary approach to healthcare—one that leverages the power of machine learning and data science—has never been clearer, as evidenced by recent advancements in risk prediction and patient outcome modeling [32]. This research aims to build on these insights to enhance our understanding of post-pandemic healthcare, particularly in relation to women's health, and to explore the potential of AI-driven solutions in creating more resilient and responsive health systems.

The insights from this study are crucial for developing targeted strategies to mitigate the long-term health consequences of COVID-19. The comprehensive study conducted by Yousif et al. [56] on the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of COVID-19 in the Middle Euphrates region of Iraq provides valuable insights into the disease's manifestation in specific geographical areas. Their retrospective analysis underscores the importance of localized studies in understanding the global impact of the pandemic, offering crucial data that can inform region-specific health policies and intervention strategies. In the realm of mental health, the work by Verma et al. [57] in detecting suicide ideation using advanced computational algorithms demonstrates the potential of data science in addressing critical public health issues. The innovative use of sequential and transformer hybrid algorithms in their study opens new avenues in early detection and intervention strategies for mental health conditions exacerbated during the pandemic. The application of sentiment analytics in understanding consumer behavior during the COVID-19 pandemic, as explored by Murugan et al. [58], highlights the intersection of psychological, social, and economic factors in times of global crisis. Their findings provide a nuanced view of how consumer sentiments shifted during the pandemic, reflecting broader societal changes. Chakraborty et al. [59] further contribute to this field with their study on classifying insincere questions on Quora using attention-based models, showcasing how AI can be leveraged to maintain the integrity and reliability of information in digital platforms during a crisis. Yousif's comprehensive review [60] of medical research advancements in Iraq presents an in-depth overview of the country's progress in various health domains, emphasizing the role of research in shaping public health responses and policies. The exploration of the health benefits of pomegranates by Al-Amrani and Yousif [61] illustrates the growing interest in natural remedies and nutritional approaches to health, a trend that has gained traction in the wake of the pandemic.
Shahid's study [62] on the prevalence of the chuA gene virulence factor in Escherichia coli in AL-Diwaniyah province, Iraq, adds a crucial piece to our understanding of bacterial pathogenicity and resistance, key concerns in the era of emerging infectious diseases. Moreover, the examination of COVID-19 comorbidities by Yousif et al. [63] underscores the complexity of the virus's impact, particularly in patients with pre-existing conditions, informing clinical approaches and patient care strategies.
Lastly, the investigation into the effect of COVID-19 vaccines on hair loss by Yousif and colleagues [64] touches upon lesser-known side effects of the pandemic and its mitigation strategies, highlighting the need for ongoing monitoring and research even as the acute phase of the pandemic subsides.
