Abstract

Background: Sleep quality is very important for the mental health of individual. The sleep quality and mental health have bidirectional relation and mean that the poor mental health affects the one’s sleep quality or poor sleep quality affects the mental health.

Aims and Objectives: The objective of the study was to document the relation between sleep quality and mental health of medical faculty. The secondary objective of the study was to identify the determinants of quality of sleep and mental health.

Materials and Methods: This was cross-sectional study done between August and November 2021 after the second wave of COVID-19. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index Scale (PSQI) was used to access sleep quality and Zung Self-Reporting Depression Scale (ZSDS) was used to access the metal health. All the medical faculty of medical institutes were included in the study and three attempts were made to enroll them in study.

Results:
Cronbach’s alpha for PSQI for this study was 0.80 and for ZSDS was 0.69 both were in an acceptable range. This study reported that 60.2% of participants have good quality of sleep while 16.3% of participants have recorded in mild or moderate ZSDS score. Exercise and chronic disease condition have statistically significant difference with ZSDS score. Remaining all the lifestyle-related habits do not have any significant association either with PSQI or ZSDS.

Conclusion: Although there was no statistically significant difference between quality of sleep and ZSDS score, the mean score was higher of those participants who categorized as mild or moderate Zung score in comparison to those who categorized as normal.
