Brief Summary

This study will focus on the relationship between pillow and mattress factors, musculoskeletal disorders and sleep quality in office workers. Sleep is vital to physical and mental health, and poor sleep can negatively affect cognitive function and workplace performance. Office workers, who often work in sedentary jobs, are particularly prone to sleep disorders. Recognizing the factors that contribute to poor sleep in this population is crucial for developing interventions to improve sleep quality. The study used a cross-sectional design and will collect data from an appropriate sample of office workers (Approximately 600 participants). Various variables will be assessed, including sociodemographic characteristics, sleep-related factors (to be measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index), pillow characteristics, mattress-related factors, musculoskeletal symptoms, and physical activity levels (to be measured using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire). Descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis will be performed to analyze the data and identify factors affecting sleep quality. Fixed fixes for potential confounders and modifiers. The study aims to identify specific components of the sleep environment related to sleep disorders. The findings of this study will contribute to the understanding of how pillow and mattress factors, along with other variables, affect sleep quality in office workers. The results may provide information for interventions aimed at improving sleep habits, optimizing the sleep environment, and improving overall well-being in this population. As a result, promoting good sleep health among office workers can have positive effects on productivity, safety and overall quality of life.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index

  The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index is a comprehensive tool used to assess various aspects of sleep quality. It consists of 19 items, each scored on a 0-3 interval scale. These items are designed to measure subjective sleep quality, sleep latency (time taken to fall asleep), sleep duration, habitual sleep efficiency (the percentage of time spent asleep while in bed), sleep disturbances, use of sleeping medication, and daytime dysfunction. To determine the overall sleep quality, the scores of these seven components are added together, resulting in a composite score that ranges from 0 to 21. Lower scores indicate better sleep quality.

Study Arms (1)

Office Workers

The study will document the sociodemographic attributes of the participants, encompassing variables such as age, gender, height, weight, educational attainment, marital status, occupation, daily working hours, and professional experience. The data pertaining to the variables in question were obtained through employment of a structured questionnaire.

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years - 55 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: Yes
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64)
• Sampling Method: Probability Sample

Study Population

Office workers from diverse workplace environments, aged 18 years and above, with a minimum employment duration or professional experience, who are willing to participate in the study and able to understand and complete the self-report questionnaires accurately.

You may qualify if:

• Participants must be office workers.
• Participants should be at least 18 years old.
• Participants should have a minimum employment duration or professional experience.
• Participants should be willing to provide informed consent to participate in the study.
• Participants should be able to understand and complete the self-report questionnaires accurately.

You may not qualify if:

• Individuals who are not office workers (e.g., manual laborers, non-office-based professionals) would be excluded.
• Individuals under the age of 18 would be excluded.
• Individuals with cognitive impairments or communication difficulties that prevent them from accurately completing the self-report questionnaires would be excluded.
• Individuals who are unable or unwilling to provide informed consent would be excluded.
• Individuals with pre-existing sleep disorders or medical conditions that significantly impact sleep quality would be excluded, as they may confound the study results.
• Pregnant women or individuals with significant health conditions that affect sleep (e.g., sleep apnea, chronic pain) excluded to minimize confounding variables.
