Abstract

Sleep quality is the ability to fall asleep and maintain it for a certain period of time; it is linked to satisfaction in the fulfillment of daily life activities, while stress is a response to demanding situations. The objective of the study was to determine the relationship between sleep quality and stress in workers of an import company in the city of Ambato. It was an investigation with a non-experimental design of a cross-sectional correlational type. A total of 140 employees participated; according to sex, 54.3% were men and 45.7% were women. The mean age was 32.06. The Pittsburgh sleep quality instruments and the Maslach Burnoutory Inventory (MBI) were applied. The results revealed a prevalence of sleep-related problems requiring medical attention in 57.1% of the participants, followed by 30% who had no sleep problems; regarding stress, a prevalence of medium and high levels was found in 98.6% of those evaluated; no differences were found between stress levels and the sex of the participants and finally, the absence of a statistically significant relationship between sleep quality and stress was detailed. It was concluded that sleep quality manifested independently of stress levels.
