Prevalence Of Knowledge About Sleeping Posture in Diabetic Patient Who Have High Chances of Frozen Shoulder
Keywords:
Diabetes, frozen shoulder, sleeping posture, patient education, prevention, awarenessAbstract
Background:
Frozen shoulder, a condition characterized by stiffness and pain in the shoulder joint, is a common complication in diabetic patients due to reduced tissue elasticity and chronic inflammation. Poor sleeping posture can exacerbate shoulder discomfort and mobility issues, yet there is limited awareness about its role among diabetic patients at high risk of developing frozen shoulder.
Objective:
This study aims to evaluate the prevalence of knowledge about proper sleeping posture among diabetic patients who have a high risk of developing frozen shoulder, with the goal of identifying gaps in awareness and providing recommendations for education and prevention.
Methods:
A cross-sectional study was conducted among diabetic patients at high risk of frozen shoulder in a clinical setting. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire that assessed participants' awareness of the impact of sleeping posture on shoulder health, their current sleeping practices, and any associated shoulder symptoms.
Results:
Preliminary findings indicate a significant lack of awareness about the relationship between sleeping posture and shoulder health among the participants. Many reported sleeping in positions that could potentially aggravate shoulder stiffness, such as lying on the affected side or using inadequate support. Additionally, a positive correlation was observed between poor sleeping posture and the severity of frozen shoulder symptoms.
Conclusion:
The study highlights a critical gap in knowledge about proper sleeping posture among diabetic patients at high risk of frozen shoulder. Awareness campaigns and targeted educational interventions focusing on optimal sleeping practices could play a vital role in preventing or alleviating frozen shoulder symptoms in this vulnerable population.
