Resumen
[EN]Poor sleep quality (SQ) negatively affects pain associated with musculoskeletal disorders
(MSD). As the level of economic development of a country determines its sanitary conditions,
these can influence the sleep–pain relationship; therefore, it is relevant to generate evidence in the
population with MSD in developing countries. This cross-sectional study sought to determine the
effect of poor SQ on pain in Chilean individuals with MSD, controlling for sex and duration of
pain (in months). Method: A total of 228 individuals were included. SQ was measured with the
Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), pain (intensity, interference and distress relative to pain) was
measured with visual analog scales. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was performed to analyze
the effect of SQ on pain. Results: A high frequency of poor SQ was present in the studied group, and
was more prevalent in women. The SEM model evidenced that poor SQ predicts greater pain. Sex
influences sleep quality and pain, but not pain duration. Conclusions: These findings indicate that
poor SQ predicts higher pain in MSD and that women exhibit worse SQ and more significant pain
than men. Our findings support that SQ should be considered in the comprehensive approach to
pain in individuals with MSD.
