RESUMO

Lack of sleeping can jeopardize health, because it is during the sleeping/vigil cycle that some hormones, which perform vital roles in the functioning of our organism, are produced. Sleeping malfunctions in type 2 diabetics constitute risk factors to the aggravating of diabetes since they can interfere in the metabolic control through the insulin resistance syndrome. Sleeping apnea, insomnia, occasional leg movements, sleeping hygiene and psychoactive substances consuming are quoted in studies, but scarcely explored. Tools have been used in the sleeping/vigil cycle investigation, and among them there are the sleeping diary, polissonography and Pittsburgh Sleeping Quality Index (PSQI) This one is composed by seven components, where the subjective sleeping quality, sleeping, duration and habitual efficiency latency, sleeping malfunctions, use of sleeping pills and morning sleepiness are evaluated. The present study was observation-transversal type. Sleeping quality was carried in 50 diabetics belonging to an Educational Nursing Center for adults and the elderly. For such investigation the type 2 diabetic patients, after signing the agreement term documents, were submitted to an initial cognitive evaluation, through mental estate exam, so that dementia could be discarded. A tool to evaluate the sleeping quality called Pittsburgh Sleeping Quality Index (PSQI) and another one to bring out demographic and clinic variants were applied. The majority of the participants was feminine, married, an average of 4-year-school, non-working and with an average of 2 minimal wages. Relating to clinic variants, 38% presented diabetes diagnosis time of over 10 years, 70% are hypertensive, 36% presented Hemoglobin A1c >7% values, 72% with nycturia, 85% IMC equivalent to obesity and 22% use sleeping pills. The PSQI components were separately detailed and the global score was obtained showing that (26)52% presented scores which indicate bad sleeping quality. The scores relation obtained in the PSQI along with some variants was carried and it showed that patients with a diagnosis time over 10 years and those with hipertension have the worst sleeping quality. Nycturia doesn´t seem to be a reason for a bad sleeping quality. For those with Hemoglobin A1c values >7% presented a worse sleeping quality. Among the ones who use sleeping medicine and those who presented normal IMC, the sleeping quality was even worse. The findings of this investigation strengthen the thematic relevance because there are no specifics tools for the evaluation of the type 2 diabetics´ sleeping; precise information about the consequences of lack of sleeping in type 2 diabetic individuals, making it difficult to get an affirmation about the sleeping quality of the diabetic.
