A Study of Sleep Quality and Associated Factors Amongst Type II Diabetes Mellitus Patients in a Rural Hospital in Goa.

Patients with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM) often experience reduced quality of life due to various clinical effects. Among these effects, sleep disturbances present a significant challenge, as type 2 DM individuals struggle to maintain healthy sleep patterns due to the physiological imbalances. This study aims to estimate the proportion of poor sleep quality and to study factors associated with poor sleep quality among the study population. A hospital-based cross sectional study was conducted in the Rural Health and Training Center, Mandur, Goa, India from January 2024 to March 2024. Participants were type 2 DM patients recruited using systematic random sampling. Among the participants, 139 (69.5%) were male, and 61 (30.5%) were female. The mean (±standard deviation) age was 52.1 ± 11.4 years. The overall proportion of poor sleep quality (PSQI score ≥5) was 120 (60%). Age, sex, Duration of diabetes, Body mass index (BMI) and presence of other co-morbidities were significantly associated with poor sleep quality. A significant proportion of type 2 DM patients experienced poor sleep quality, indicating the importance of integrating sleep hygiene into their care to enhance disease management and overall well-being.
