Abstract

The COVID-19 Pandemic forced a shift from the traditional face-to-face classes to an online learning set-up, which has brought changes in the lifestyle of people including their sleep. (Kocevska et al., 2020). This research was conducted to determine whether there is a significant correlation between sleep quality and online learning of BS OT students enrolled in DLSMHSI in A.Y. 2021-2022. Using quantitative correlational design and convenience sampling technique, 53 1st year to 4th year OT students participated in the study by answering the PSQI and Adapted SCEM-Q. Results show poor sleep quality among OT students specifically 37 (69.8%) respondents having poor sleep quality and 16 (30.2%) respondents having good sleep quality, and majority of the OT students having moderate online learning engagement. A subgroup analysis of lower and upper classmen was done which indicated that there is no correlation between the two variables among the lower classmen. The mean of the global PSQI score for all the respondents was 6.60 while adapted SCEQ-M obtained a mean of 2.29, with asynchronous online learning yielding the highest engagement out of the three subgroups. Using Pearson r, this showed a weak significant correlation between the two variables mainly sleep quality and online learning; therefore, there are other factors that contribute to a student's poor sleep quality.
