Objective. To assess sleep quality in a population of patients with diabetic foot ulcers.
Methods:
This was an exploratory, descriptive, cross-sectional study. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was used to assess sleep quality in 60 patients with diabetes mellitus and foot ulcers.
Results:
Seventeen (28.3%) patients had a global PSQI score less than 5, indicating that they were good sleepers, while 43 (71.7%) patients were considered poor sleepers. The patients reported going to bed between 9:00 pm and 11:00 pm (n = 40, 66.70%), taking from 16 minutes to 30 minutes to fall asleep (n = 25, 41.70%), and waking up after 4 hours to 5 hours of sleep (n = 40, 66.70%).
Conclusion:
Patients with diabetic foot ulcers have poor sleep quality. .
