Objectives: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) has long been shown to be a significant health burden globally and to all Filipinos. Aside from the known physical health burden and complication of CKD, the impact to psychosocial and mental aspects is also recognized. Among these is sleep, as sleeping problems are found to be common in patients with CKD especially those undergoing renal replacement therapy. The objective of this study was to examine the impact of quality of sleep on the quality of life among hemodialysis patients in The Medical City Ortigas. Methods: Quality of sleep and quality of life were measured using validated self-administered questionnaires; the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and the Kidney Disease Quality of Life-Short Form v1.3 (KDQOL) respectively. Results: Among the respondents 67 (78.82%) were found to be poor sleepers (PSQI >5) with a mean global PSQI of 9.25. Age appeared to be a significant factor as the percentage of bad sleepers belong to the 46-65 and >65 age groups. In contrast, sex, marital status, employment, hemodialysis shift, BMI, kt/V, hemodialysis type, albumin, phosphorus, and hemoglobin levels did not have significant association with quality of sleep. Correlations between the global PSQI score and the domains of KDQOL computed via Pearson r coefficient showing an inverse correlation between PSQI and the mental (-.392) and physical (-0.320) component summaries. Conclusions: Poor sleep is common in hemodialysis patients and is associated with poorer quality of life. |
