Introduction: sleep disorders are common in the general population and have obvious repercussions on quality of life. Poor sleep quality is associated to inflammatory activity and fatigue in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients. This study aimed to analyze the prevalence of poor sleep quality and the factors associated with it, in IBD outpatients.
Methods: an observational and prospective study was performed in which epidemiological, clinical and laboratory data were collected from clinical records and patients who consecutively attended an outpatient clinic. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality index (PSQI), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) were used to measure sleep quality, anxiety, depression and physical activity, respectively. Treatment optimizations, hospital admissions or surgery were prospectively verified three months after the baseline visit.
Results: one hundred and two patients were included and 54.9 % had poor sleep quality (PSQI score > 5). No association was found between poor sleep quality and IBD-related variables such as type of disease, ulcerative colitis (UC) extent, Crohn's disease (CD) location or behavior, time from diagnosis, treatment, prior admissions or surgery and laboratory values. Rotating night shift job (OR 6.116, 95 % CI: 1.312-28.514), HAD score for depression (OR 1.125, 95 % CI: 1.062-1.490) and frequency (days per week) of vigorous physical activity (OR 0.783, 95 % CI: 0.619-0.991) were independent predictors of poor sleep quality. A Pittsburgh questionnaire score higher than 5 was not significantly associated to treatment optimization in the total patient cohort (15.2 % vs 18.2 %, p = 0.451), in UC patients (18.2 % vs 10.7 %, p = 0.362) or CD patients (12.5 % vs 25.9 %, p = 0.198).
Conclusions: poor sleep quality is present in more than half of IBD patients. Aspects not directly related to IBD are associated to poor sleep quality.

Background: Despite syntheses of evidence showing efficacy of music intervention for improving psychological and physiological outcomes in critically ill patients, interventions that include nonmusic sounds have not been addressed in reviews of evidence. It is unclear if nonmusic sounds in the intensive care unit (ICU) can confer benefits similar to those of music.
Objective: The aim of this study was to summarise and contrast available evidence on the effect of music and nonmusic sound interventions for the physiological and psychological outcomes of ICU patients based on the results of randomised controlled trials.

Background: Sleep problems, pain, and depression are common issues in fibromyalgia. However, studies on sleep hygiene education to address these problems are limited in the literature. Therefore, there is a need to investigate the effects of sleep hygiene education given to individuals with fibromyalgia on their sleep quality, pain, and depression levels.

Background: Persistently poor sleep quality in young adults is linked to a higher risk of depression. However, the impact of changes in sleep quality on depression risk in middle-aged and older adults remain unclear. This study investigates the association between sleep quality, its changes, and the risk of depression in middle-aged and elderly people.

Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death and the most common cancer among women worldwide. It is crucial to identify potentially modifiable risk factors to intervene and prevent breast cancer effectively. Sleep factors have emerged as a potentially novel risk factor for female breast cancer.
