Purpose: Poor sleep and depressive symptoms are two negative effects of night shift work on physical and mental health. This study evaluated the correlation between sleep quality and depression symptoms among nurses in Saudi Arabia. Specifically, we assessed depressive symptoms and sleep quality observed among nurses who worked night shifts and compared the outcomes with those who worked exclusively day shifts in hospital settings.
Patients And Methods: A total of 191 participants (55.5% men, 44.5% women) participated. The response rate was 63.6%. The hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) were used to assess depression score and sleep quality, respectively.
Results: Nurses who worked night shifts had substantially higher PSQI ratings (p<0.05) than those who worked day shifts. In addition, there was a clear relationship between the HADS and PSQI scores. According to the binary logistic regression, longer working hours and inadequate sleep were both independently linked to depressive symptoms among nurses.
Conclusion: Poor sleep quality brought on by night shifts may explain why Saudi nurses who work night shifts experience higher rates of depression than those who work day shifts only.

Study Objectives: Polysomnography (PSG) currently serves as the benchmark for evaluating sleep disorders. Its discomfort makes long-term monitoring unfeasible, leading to bias in sleep quality assessment. Hence, less invasive, cost-effective, and portable alternatives need to be explored.

Background: Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) significantly impairs the quality of life of patients undergoing chemotherapy and diminishes their adherence to the treatment regimen. Existing studies suggest that compression therapy may prevent the onset of CIPN, yet the specific efficacy remains to be conclusively determined.
Methods: We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing compression therapy with inactive comparators in patients scheduled for chemotherapy.

Background: Multimorbidity, defined as the coexistence of two or more chronic diseases, is highly prevalent among the elderly population and is associated with adverse outcomes. However, little is known about its relationship with sleep issues, particularly in this demographic. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate its association with sleep quality and duration among the elderly.
