Abstract

The blended set-up has become the norm in the current environment of schools. It has a substantial impact on the sleep quality and physical activity levels of undergraduate Physical Therapy students. Thus, these are considered crucial factors that needs to be investigated since these are prerequisites in the learning process. The study aims to determine if there is a significant relationship between sleep and physical activity levels among DLSMHSI-CRS undergraduate PT students. A quantitative & correlational research design was used in the form of disseminating online surveys to the 2 nd and 3rd year BSPT students of the DLSMHSI-CRS following a stratified random sampling method. The online surveys were utilized to assess their sleep quality and physical activity through the use of Sleep-Quality-Scale (SQS) and International Physical Activity Questionnaire - Long Form (IPAQ - LF), respectively. A total of 145 students from the 2nd and 3rd Physical Therapy undergraduate students responded to the survey forms disseminated. The study showed that the respondents’ year level has the only significant relationship with sleep quality which showed a p-value of 0.005 (0.005 < 0.05) primarily due to different demands per year level. Meanwhile, the correlation between sleep quality and PA levels of the 2nd and 3rd year BSPT students did not reveal a significant correlation with each other (p-value of 0.142 > 0.05). Regardless of the results, the study could still provide a basis for the current sleep quality and PA levels of the BSPT students and provide interventions that could further improve this.
