Brief Summary

This cross-sectional observational study investigates the association between sleep quality, neck pain-related disability, and depression symptoms in young adults aged 18-28. The research reveals that poor sleep quality is significantly associated with higher depression scores and increased neck disability, emphasizing the need for integrative approaches targeting sleep quality to improve mental and musculoskeletal health outcomes.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Sleep Quality as Measured by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)

  The PSQI is a validated self-report instrument that evaluates sleep quality and disturbances over a 1-month period. It includes 7 subscales: subjective sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep duration, habitual sleep efficiency, sleep disturbances, use of sleeping medication, and daytime dysfunction. Each component is scored from 0 (no difficulty) to 3 (severe difficulty), resulting in a global score from 0 to 21.

  Single assessment at baseline

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Functional Neck Disability as Measured by the Neck Disability Index (NDI)

  Single assessment at baseline

• Depression Severity as Measured by the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI)

  Single assessment at baseline

Study Arms (3)

Healthy Sleep Group

Participants who scored 0-5 on the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), indicating good sleep quality.

Behavioral: Survey-Based Assessment

Poor Sleep Group

Participants who scored between 6-10 on the PSQI, indicating impaired sleep quality.

Behavioral: Survey-Based Assessment

Chronic Sleep Disorder Group

Participants who scored above 10 on the PSQI, indicating persistent and clinically relevant sleep disturbances.

Behavioral: Survey-Based Assessment

Interventions

Survey-Based Assessment BEHAVIORAL

Participants completed standardized questionnaires including the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and Neck Disability Index (NDI) to evaluate psychological and functional outcomes associated with sleep quality. No experimental intervention was administered.
