Summary:Introduction and AimsIn the last years, there has been increasing interest on possible association between the sleep apnea with hypertension and poor sleep quality in patients with glucose metabolism disorders. The present study aimed to assess the relationship between sleep apnea, hypertension and sleep quality in patients with type 2 diabetes.Materials and MethodsThis descriptive - analytic study was carried out on 100 type 2 diabetes patients’ referral to the Saghez city diabetes unit with convenience sampling. Data were gathered using Berlin Questionnaire and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistical testes, independent T test and Chi-square test. Results The results of this study showed 46 % of samples complained from sleep apnea and 42 % complained from poor sleep quality.Resultsshowed that there are statistically significant relationship between sleep apnea and high blood (CI95% = 1.6-9.4, OR = 3.9, p < 0.002) and sleep quality (CI95% = 1-4.9, OR = 2.1, P=0.04).The risk of sleep apnea were 3.9 and 2.1 fold higher in patients with hypertension and poor sleep quality than those patients without normotensive and good sleep quality.ConclusionRegarding to high prevalence of sleep apnea and relationship between this disorder and high blood pressure and sleep quality in patients with diabetes, using of screening methods for diagnose of sleep apnea in diabetic patients is necessary.* Corresponding Author: Uremia University of Medical Sciences, Department of Nursing and Midwifery.Email: Hemmati_m@umsu.ac.ir
