Abstract :

A Quasi–Experimental pre test–post test control group design was used to determine the effect of a CCM on sleep quality among 60 patients with Type 2 DM. The aim of the study was to assess the effect of a CCM on the sleep quality among patients with type 2 DM in the experimental and control group. The investigator administered the tool to the participants using Baseline Proforma and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. The screening for low sleep quality was done on 70 type 2 DM patients. The paired ‘t’ value (t₂₉₌12.5, p<0.05) showed that there is a significant difference between the pre and post interventional sleep quality among the type 2DM patients in the experimental group. The Unpaired ‘t’ value (t_{58 =}2.00, p<0.05) showed that there is a significant difference in mean post interventional quality of sleep score in the experimental and control group. The study showed that there was significant increase in the sleep quality of type 2 DM patients after administrating CCM.
