HUAMAN OLARTE, Ramón Julio e MUJICA ALBAN, Elydia C. Factors associated to sleep quality on informal drivers of interprovincial buses at high geographic altitude in Peru. An. Fac. med. [online]. 2020, vol.81, n.2, pp.174-179. ISSN 1025-5583. http://dx.doi.org/10.15381/anales.v81i2.18105.
Objective.
To determine the factors associated with sleep quality (SQ) in informal interprovincial road bus drivers of Lima-Huancayo central highway during January to March 2018.
Methods.
Cross-sectional study. Occupational and sociodemographic data were obtained. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was applied. Prevalence and factors associated with SQ were obtained.
Results
. 162 drivers took part in the study. The average age was 42 ± 10,2 years, 55,6% had a technical instruction education level, 42% were married and 55,6% had between two and three children, 54,9% were overweight and 32,1% had obesity. The average time of work experience as a driver was 17 ± 6,8 years; the average PSQI was 8,1 ± 3. The 89,6 % showed a high frequency of disturbed SQ with variable degrees. Age (p = 0,03) is the factor associated with SQ.
Conclusion.
There is a high prevalence of disturbed SQ among informal drivers. Age constituted the main factor associated with SQ.
