Abstract

Objective: This study was planned to compare the sleep quality and well-being levels of individuals with Diabetes Mellitus (DM) with different levels of physical activity (PA) due to the increased periods of quarantine at home during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Method: 120 individuals with DM with a mean age of 52.4 (8.42) years (53 females, 67 males) were included in the study. All information was gathered through face-to-face interviews. The participants’ PA levels were measured by the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF), sleep quality by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and well-being by the Well-Being Questionnaire-22 (WBQ-22).
Results: The participants' levels of PA were “inactive” for 48 (40), “moderate active” for 64 (53.3%), and “high active” for eight (6.7%). Statistically, there was a significant difference between PA levels in terms of PSQI total score and WBQ-22 total score (p<0.001). It has been detected that there is a significantly strong negative correlation between the IPAQ-SF total score and the PSQI total score (r=-.730; p<0.001), and a strong positive correlation between the IPAQ-SF total score and WBQ-22 total score (r=.638; p<0.001).
Conclusion: Considering the detected results of relationship between PA level sleep quality and well-being in the present study, we suggest that regular and adequate PA in every period of life, especially such a sedentary life process may have positive impacts on the sleep quality, energy and well-being, and reduce conditions such as depression and anxiety for individuals with DM.

Covid-19 Pandemi Döneminde Diyabetli Bireylerde Fiziksel Aktivite Düzeyinin Uyku Kalitesi ve İyilik Hali Üzerine Etkileri

Abstract

Giriş ve Amaç: Bu çalışma COVID-19 pandemi döneminde karantinada evde kalma süresinin artması sonucunda fiziksel aktivite düzeyinin ve çeşitliliğinin kısıtlanmasına bağlı olarak, farklı fiziksel aktivite düzeyine sahip diyabetli bireylerin uyku kalitesi ve iyilik hali düzeylerinin karşılaştırılması amacı ile planlandı.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu çalışmaya yaş ortalaması 52.4 (8.42) olan 120 diyabetli (53 kadın, 67 erkek) birey dahil edildi. Katılımcıların fiziksel aktivite düzeyi “Uluslararası Fiziksel Aktivite Anketi- Kısa Form (UFAA-KF)”, uyku kalitesi “Pittsburgh Uyku Kalitesi İndeksi (PUKİ)” ve iyilik hali ise “İyilik Hali Ölçeği (İHÖ)” ile değerlendirildi.
Bulgular: Katılımcıları fiziksel aktivite düzeyleri incelendiğinde olguların 48’i (%40) “aktif olmayan”, 64’ü (%53.3) “minimal aktif” ve sekiz olgu (%6.7) “çok aktif” olarak bulundu. Fiziksel aktivite düzeyleri arasında PUKİ toplam puanı ve İHÖ toplam puanı açısından istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark vardı (p<0.001). UFAA-KF toplam puanı ile PUKİ toplam puanı arasında güçlü düzeyde ve negatif yönde (r=-0.730; p<0.001) ve UFAA-KF toplam puanı ile İHÖ arasında güçlü düzeyde ve pozitif yönde anlamlı bir korelasyon saptandı (r=638; p<0.001).
Sonuç: Tüm diyabetli bireylerde yaşamın her döneminde özellikle de karantina dönemine benzer sedanter yaşam süreçlerinde düzenli ve yeterli fiziksel aktivite ile bireylerin uyku kalitesini, enerji ve pozitif iyilik halinde artış, depresyon ve anksiyete gibi durumların azaltılması sağlanabilir.
