Effect of Sleep Deprivation on Health Related Quality of Life in Shift Working Adults

The goal of the current study was to investigate the connection between shift working adults' HRQoL (health-related quality of life) and sleep deprivation.The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Epworth Sleepiness Scale, Beck Depression Inventory, and Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) were completed by 295 participants between the ages of 20 and 50.The T-Square test developed by Hotelling was used to compare the results of good and poor sleepers.Body mass index (BMI) and sociodemographic information were acquired.The correlation between sleep deprivation and HRQoL was significant.The physical and mental component summaries (PCS, MCS) and all SF-36 components were much lower among those who had inadequate sleep.After confounding factors were controlled for, sleep quality significantly boosted the predictive ability of the model, with R change ( R) of 2.8% for MCS and 3.6% for PCS, according to hierarchical analyses.Our findings reaffirm how critical sleep is to HRQoL.Our results strongly supports the association of sleep deprivation (poor quality, short duration) and health related quality of life.From the standpoint of public health, intervention programs aimed at improving sleep-related healthcare, particularly for shift workers, should be strengthened in developing nations.
