Sleep analysis in emergency nurses' department. | LitMetric

Sleep analysis in emergency nurses' department.

Rev Assoc Med Bras (1992)

Universidad de León - León, Espanha.

Published: June 2021

Background: Shift work increases the risk of suffering physiological and psychological alterations, due to the sleep disorders that it usually produces in the staff with this type of workday.

Objective: Analyze the influence of shift work on sleep quality in the nursing staff of the emergency department of the University Hospital of Leon.

Methods: A total of 70 emergency department nurses aged between 24-56 years were divided into two groups (rotating shift and fixed morning or afternoon shift). The Pittsburgh sleep quality index was used for this purpose. In order to establish differences between the two groups, a bivariate analysis was performed using the χ² test.

Results: The results showed that both groups had "rather poor" subjective sleep quality, with scores of 8.5 for fixed shift versus. 6.3 for a rotating shift. The group of nurses' rotating shifts slept an average of 5.39 hours compared to 7.47 hours for a fixed shift. Significant differences were found in sleep latency, sleep disturbances, and the use of sleep medication, with more negative results for the rotating shift.

Conclusions: Rotating shift produces a poor quality of sleep compared to a fixed morning or afternoon shift, and it would be interesting for the center itself to establish sleep improvement and sleep hygiene programs.

Background: Previous studies regarding mind-body exercise among people with breast cancer mostly focused on one type of mind-body exercise and provided conflicting results.

Aims: This paper aims to systematically synthesize the evidence hierarchy and examine the credibility of previous meta-analyses of different types of mind-body exercises.

Methods: We searched PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and Epitemonikos from database inception to February 2nd, 2024, for meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials.

Département de psychiatrie et d'addictologie, AP-HP, GHU Paris Nord, DMU Neurosciences, Hôpital Bichat - Claude Bernard, 75018 Paris, France; Centre ChronoS, GHU Paris - Psychiatry & Neurosciences, 1, rue Cabanis, 75014 Paris, France; Université Paris Cité, Inserm, NeuroDiderot, 75019 Paris, France.

Objectives: This European study explored the cultural and societal aspects of chronic insomnia by means of a survey undertaken in France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom. The primary objectives were to understand the impact of insomnia on the daily lives of patients, both personally and professionally, and to evaluate the patients' perceptions and coping strategies thus identifying cultural differences in the management of this disorder.

Methods: Based on online panels targeting insomnia sufferers, the survey included 755 patients aged 35 to 65 years with moderate to severe insomnia for at least three months, occurring at least three times per week (DSM-5 criteria for insomnia disorder, ISI score 15-28).

Glucose acts as a fundamental energy source for cells and plays a pivotal role in various physiological processes, including metabolism, signaling, and cellular control. Maintaining precise regulation of blood glucose levels is crucial for overall health and equilibrium. To achieve this balance, insulin is administered either orally or through an artificial pancreas (AP) during sleep, utilizing control algorithms based on mathematical models to regulate blood glucose concentration (BGC).

Few studies have addressed the relationship between sleep and employment in Japan. We use four waves of the Japan Study of Aging and Retirement (JSTAR) to address the relationship between weekday sleep duration, self-reported sleep quality and four self-reported indicators of sleep quality and employment status (model 1, full sample), working hours and job satisfaction (model 2, working sample) among individuals aged 50 and over (N=7,082). We apply mixed effects models for the linear outcome of sleep duration and cumulative link mixed models for the sleep quality variables, controlling for socio-demographic and health characteristics.
