Sleep Quality and Associated Factors Among Type 2 Dm Patients and Non-Dm Individuals in Bahir Dar Governmental Hospitals: Comparative Cross-Sectional Study

Background: Multiple factors may contribute to sleep disruption in type 2 diabetic individuals. Sleep disruption in type 2 diabetic individuals is frequently associated with long-term damage, dysfunction, and failure of different organs. Nevertheless, literature in this regard is scanty in Ethiopia. Therefore, this study aimed to assess and compare the prevalence of poor sleep quality and associated factors among type 2 diabetic and non-diabetic individuals in Bahir Dar governmental hospitals.Methods: Comparative cross-sectional study was employed among 292 individuals with type 2 diabetes and 291 non-diabetic individuals in Bahir Dar governmental hospitals from March 01- to April-01. A two-stage cluster sampling method was employed to select participants. Pittsburgh sleep quality index was used for assessing sleep quality. For analysis, descriptive and summary statistics were used to determine the prevalence and percentage of variables. Chi-square test was also used for comparison. Binary logistic regression analysis was employed to determine the associated factors of poor sleep quality. Result: The prevalence of poor sleep was 50.7% (95% CI; 44.9-56.2) and 31.8% (95% CI 26.5-37.5) among individuals with type 2 diabetes and non-diabetic individuals respectively. Among the overall participants being type 2 diabetic patient was also found significantly associated with poor sleep quality as compared to non-diabetic individuals (AOR=1.89; 95% CI; 1.19-2.87). Comorbidity, duration of DM >10 years, Poor glycaemic control, having depression, low physical activity, and poor social support were factors significantly associated with poor sleep quality among individuals with type 2 diabetes. Among non-diabetic individual’s low physical activity, poor social support, having depression, and age group (>50 years) were factors significantly associated with poor sleep quality. Conclusion: In this study, the prevalence of poor sleep among individuals with type 2 diabetes was higher than non-diabetes individuals.
