ABSTRACT

Background: Health is about what makes us feel good physically, mentally, socially, and spiritually. Health can be promoted by encouraging healthful activities, such as regular physical exercise, healthy diet and adequate sleep. Sleep plays a vital role in metabolic regulation, energy balance, and overall health. Inadequate or non-restorative sleep can interfere with normal physical, mental, social, and emotional functioning. Poor sleep quality is commonly observed among patients with cardiometabolic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and obesity, leading to adverse health outcomes. Methods: A descriptive cross sectional research design was adopted to determine the quality of sleep among patients with cardiometabolic diseases. There were 200 samples who participated in the study. The samples were selected by using convenience sampling technique. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was used to assess the quality of sleep among cardiometabolic disease patients. Results: The results of the present study showed that, majority of the study participants 142 (71 percent) were having <5 PSQI score which indicates good sleep, and remaining 58 (29 percent) were having ≥5 PSQI score which indicates poor sleep. The study findings also showed a significant association between quality of sleep and socio-demographic variables such as educational qualification, dietary pattern, and habits at 0.05 level of significance, whereas no significant association was found with age, gender, marital status, occupation, type of family, family history of cardiometabolic diseases, history of comorbid diseases, and duration of illness. Conclusion: The study concluded that although the majority of cardiometabolic patients had good sleep quality, factors such as educational qualification, dietary pattern, and habits were significantly influenced their quality of sleep. This indicates the need for early identification and appropriate intervention to improve their overall health and quality of life.
