Objectives: Sleep quality among tertiary healthcare professionals in KSA has not been well studied. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to assess sleep quality among physicians and nurses in a tertiary care center in Jeddah City and to identify the associated factors.
Methods: In this quantitative, analytical, cross-sectional study, an online, self-administered questionnaire was distributed to all physicians and nurses working at King Abdulaziz University Hospital (KAUH). A total of 395 healthcare professionals participated in this study. The questionnaire included the participants' demographic characteristics and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) values.
Results: The mean age and body mass index of the participating healthcare professionals were 37.74 ± 10.35 years and 26.32 ± 4.97 kg/m, respectively. Most participants were women (70.4%) and expatriates (55.4%). The prevalence of poor sleep quality was high: 70.4% of the participants had a PSQI score >5. Several factors, such as female sex (adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 2.03; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.11-3.74), shift work (AOR = 1.87; 95% CI = 1.01-3.45), physical inactivity (AOR = 2.43; 95% CI = 1.01-5.85), and current smoking (AOR = 4.64; 95% CI = 1.68-12.80), were associated with poor sleep quality among healthcare professionals.
Conclusions: Our findings are consistent with those from previous studies indicating high prevalence of poor sleep quality among healthcare professionals. Furthermore, female sex, shift work, smoking, and physical inactivity were identified as risk factors for poor sleep quality.

Health-related quality of life in people with HIV from the multicentre CoRIS cohort in Spain: Associated factors and short-term changes over time.
HIV Med
January 2025
National Centre for Epidemiology, Carlos III Health Institute, Madrid, Spain.
Objectives: We aimed to describe health-related quality of life (HRQoL), overall and across its dimensions, identify associated factors, and assess changes over time among people with HIV (PWH) from the Spanish multicentre CoRIS cohort.
Methods: We developed a mobile app to collect HRQoL data every 3 months using the WHOQOL-HIV-BREF questionnaire (31 items across six domains), among PWH followed in CoRIS in 2021-2023. Factors associated with good/very good global HRQoL and with domain-specific mean scores were identified using multivariable logistic and linear regression, respectively.
Evaluation of circadian rhythm and prognostic variability pre-and post-CEA or CAS treatment in patients with carotid artery stenosis.
Front Neurol

Department of Vascular Neurosurgery, New Era Stroke Care and Research Institute, The PLA Rocket Force Characteristic Medical Center, Beijing, China.
Objective: Carotid artery stenosis, primarily caused by atherosclerosis, is a major risk factor for ischemic stroke. Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and carotid artery stenting (CAS) are established interventions to reduce stroke risk and restore cerebral blood flow. However, the effect of these treatments on circadian rhythms, and their influence on stroke recovery, remains underexplored.

Social network site addiction, sleep quality, depression and adolescent difficulty describing feelings: a moderated mediation model.
BMC Psychol
January 2025
School of Sports Science, Jishou University, Jishou, China.
Background And Objectives: Social network site addiction is strongly correlated with sleep quality among adolescents. However, the underlying mechanisms driving these relationships require further exploration. This study aims to supplement the understanding of the psychological mechanisms linking social network site addiction and sleep quality by investigating depression as a mediating factor and difficulty describing feelings as a moderating factor.
