Abstract

The current study was conducted to explore the effects of Covid-19 pandemic fear in relation to the quality of sleep among vaccinated and non-vaccinated individuals living in Bahawalpur City. For this purpose, a sample of (N=100) participants were selected out of which (n=50) were vaccinated and (n=50) were non-vaccinated. Data was collected by using two scales, one was used to check the prevalence of fear because of covid-19 and the second was sleep quality scale (SQS). Data was analyzed by using SPSS. The results from the collected data revealed a higher level of fear among female population. The results reported that the prevalence of fear because of covid-19 was a significant predictor of sleep disturbance among vaccinated individuals and this was positively correlated with the sleep disturbance among non-vaccinated individuals.
