Abstract

Significant changes within learning institutions have occurred over the past few years because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Instead of conducting face-to-face sessions in school, teachers and students are confined to conducting their classes through virtual meetings. With that, several changes have also occurred in the lifestyle of students such as eating, studying, and sleeping habits that could consequently affect their academic performance and overall well-being. This study focused on investigating the relationship of two variables: perceived academic workload and sleep quality of DLSMHSI Bachelor of Physical Therapy (BSPT) Students through an observational, cross-sectional design. Sleep Quality Scale (SQS) was utilized to assess the students' sleep quality and a self-made academic workload questionnaire to determine how they perceived their academic workload. The study was implemented online and the questionnaires were distributed to the BSPT community of DLSMHSI through the MS Teams platform. The study concluded that there was no relationship between the academic workload of the BSPT students of DLSMHSI with their sleep quality during distance learning and there were also no significant differences in academic workload in terms of age and year level. However, there was a significant result when the participants were grouped by sex. In terms of sleep quality, there was no significant difference when the sample population was grouped according to their demographic profile (age, sex, and year level). Sleep quality of students was then considered to be affected by several other factors that future researchers must take into consideration.
