Abstract

BACKGROUND: Diabetic Mellitus (DM T2) is an epidemic health condition in the Pakistan that has enormous
impacts on heath, consequent effects on Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) and has effects on work
productivity. OBJECTIVE: To determine the association between sleep quality and work productivity among
diabetes. METHODOLOGY: This cross-sectional study was conducted in various hospitals in Lahore from April
2023 to July 2023, utilizing a nonprobability convenience sampling technique to recruit 123 participants
diagnosed with diabetes. Inclusion criteria comprised individuals of both genders, aged between 35 and 65 years,
with a minimum diabetes duration of 2 years. Exclusion criteria encompassed the presence of chronic kidney
disease, liver disease, severe heart disease, active thyroid disorder, a history of trauma, and women in their 2nd
and 3rd trimesters. Data collection, involving the administration of informed consent, employed the Work
Productivity and Activity Impairment Questionnaire, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and EuroQol-5 Dimensions
survey. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS-23, providing a comprehensive approach to investigate the
relationships and outcomes associated with diabetes in the specified population. RESULTS: The mean and
standard deviation for various scales, including PSQI, EQ-5D, and different aspects of work and activity
impairments. Notably, PSQI exhibited a mean of 9.46 with a standard deviation of 2.39. Table 8 illustrates
correlations, with PSQI showing a significant correlation (p < 0.05) with EQ-5D and work-related impairments.
Additionally, age demonstrated correlations with several scales, emphasizing its relevance in the study. These
findings provide valuable insights into the relationships among sleep quality, health status, and work-related
outcomes. CONCLUSION: This study reveals a significant positive correlation between sleep quality and healthrelated quality of life in type 2 diabetic patients
