Abstract

Objective: To determine the association between work productivity and sleep health among healthcare professionals in Rawalpindi.

Study Design: Analytical cross-sectional study.

Place and Duration of Study: Combined Military Hospital, Pak-Emirates Military Hospital, Benazir Bhutto Hospital, Rawalpindi, Pakistan from Sep 2023 to Feb 2024.

Methodology: The study was conducted on resident doctors of both genders ranging from age 25-40 years. A structured validated questionnaire, comprising of three sections, was used. The first part comprised of demographic information. The second part consists of Work Limitation Questionnaire-25 (WLQ-25), a measure of work productivity loss, while third part comprised of Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), a measure of quality of sleep. Chi square test was applied to find association between sleep quality and its impact on work productivity loss.

Results: A total of 256 participants were divided into two groups, Medicine and allied (Group-A) and Surgery and allied (Group-B). Out of 143(55.86%) residents from Group-A, 78(54.50%) reported with poor sleep while 60(41.9%) had work productivity loss more than 50%. Of 113(44.14%) residents from Group-B, 67(59.3%) had poor sleep while 71(62.8%) had work productivity loss more than 50%. A significant association (p<0.05) was found between PSQI score and WLQ index score.

Conclusion: Majority of the residents with healthy sleep habits and good sleep quality experience less productivity loss as compared to those with poor sleep quality.
