Abstract
The aim of the study is to determine sleep quality and related factors in people with type 2 diabetes. This descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted with 283 people with type 2 diabetes. Data were collected The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), The Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), and the World Health Organization-5 Well-Being Index (WHO-5). Data was analyzed using the SPSS 15.0 software. The mean age of the people with diabetes was 60.0±10.7. Among the participants, 60.4% were female. The mean PSQI, ESS and WHO-5 scores of the participants were 6.6±3.4, 5.1±4.2 and 11.9±5.9, respectively. Among the participants, 55.8% had sleep problems. Males, those with higher education levels, employed individuals, those with moderate economic status, those who exercised, those without sleep apnea prob- lems, those without additional health problems, and those who did not have hypertension experienced sleep problems at a lesser degree (p<0.05). The waist circumference and Body Mass Index (BMI) of the participants who experienced sleep problems were higher, while their mean height was lower (p<0.05). The mean WHO-5 score of the participants who experienced sleep problems was lower, while their mean ESS score was higher (p<0.05). More than half of the people with diabetes reported to have sleep problems. Participants who experienced sleep problems had increased waist circumference, lower height and higher BMI. Participants who experienced sleep prob- lems also had higher levels of daytime sleepiness and lower quality of life. According to these findings, it is recommended to routinely assess sleep quality in people with diabetes. It is also recommended to reduce BMI and waist circumference, exercise, treat other health problems such as hypertension and OSAS for better sleep quality in individuals with diabetes.
