Objectives:To evaluate the effect of containment, during the Covid-19 pandemic, on the pain of patients with CIRD, and to analyze the factors associated with the experience of pain.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted among patients with rheumatic diseases using a questionnaire providing information on patients and disease characteristics. Impact of COVID-19 on This is a cross-sectional study that consecutively includedPatients were asked to assess the global pain which they had experienced before and during the containment period, using a single Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (greatest pain).Statistical Analysis System IBM SPSS Statistics V20.0.0 was used to analyze the study data.We performed univariate then multivariate analysis to search any related factors to pain perception during to quarantines. Qualitative values were analyzed by the chi2 test. Quantitative values were analyzed by the Student test when the measures were normally distributed or by nonparametric test (Mann–Whitney U) when the measures were not normally distributed (Kolmogorov–Smirnov test was used to test normality).Results:Among the 350 patients who answered to the questionnaire online, rheumatoid arthritis represented 62.3%, spondyloarthropathy 34.3% and undifferentiated CIRD 3.4%.Pain experience caused by the CIRD during the containment was reported by 79.1% of patients.The level of pain, using the VAS of Pain increased significantly during the COVID-19 pandemic (4,6 ± 2,8 and 5,4 ± 3 before and during the containment; p<0.001).In multivariate analysis, the factors implicated in pain were the negative impact of Coronavirus on access to rheumatologic care, discontinuation of therapeutic adherence, the disturbed quality of sleep and the negative psychological impact (table 1).Table 1: Summarize multivariable analysis of factors associated with painful experience related to CIRD during containement.Table 1.Multivariable analysis of factors associated with painful experience related to CIRD during containementPImpact on monitoring0.05Impact on therapeutic adherence<0.001Quality of sleep disturbed0.001Negative psychological impact0.02Conclusion:This survey showed the that the COVID-19 pandemic have incresed painful experience in CIRD patients. Factors influencing painful experience should be taken into account to help patients to cope with their chronic rheumatism and this global health crisis.Disclosure of Interests:None declared

Abstract Introduction: Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD) is caused by multiple factors and exhibits various symptoms. Its most common symptom is pain, a factor that can influence the quality of an individual's sleep. Objective: The aim of the present study was to assess the correlation between TMD and sleep. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 60 women, aged between 18 and 40 years, who had been diagnosed with TMD based on the Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC/TMD). Fonseca's anamnestic index (FAI) was used to classify the severity of the dysfunction. To complete the assessment, each volunteer was assessed using the visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain. They also responded to two questions related to their quality of sleep and the average hours of sleep per night. Results: The more severe the TMD, the fewer hours of sleep per night (r = -0.5663). In total, 63.33% of the volunteers reported not sleeping well. Concerning pain, the greater the VAS score, the less hours of sleep (r = -0.516) and the more severe the TMD. Conclusion: It was found that the severityof TMD was correlated with pain symptoms and the number of hours of sleep per night.

Background: Sleep is basic physiological requirement. Sleep quality have impact on employee behaviour like alertness at work, error-making and absenteeism. The sleep disorders of nurses and other allied health workers have been reported as a risk factor for patient safety.Studies have found high prevalence of poor sleep quality among nurses. Main objective of this study was aimed to find out the morningness, eveningness chronotypes and sleep quality among allied health workers in shift work.Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out among nursing and other allied health workers working in shifts using Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) and morningness-eveningness questionnaire (MEQ). After final scores participants were categorized as having good or bad quality of sleep and different chronotypes as per the scoring guidelines given. Chi-square test, Pearson’s partial correlation analyses done using SPSS software.Results: Only 26.9% had good quality sleep (mean PSQI score 8.9±4.5). Among chronotypes 69.9% were intermediateness and 30.1% were moderate morningness (mean MEQ score 55.5±7). 87.1% participants go to sleep within one hour after dinner. 40% use mobile phones in bed. 31.2% took up to 30 mins (mean 22.15±13.8) to get asleep. Strong negative correlation found between the sleep hours and total PSQI score (r=-0.495; p=0.000).Conclusions: Higher prevalence of poor quality of sleep with intermediateness as preferred circadian chronotype, there was also a strong negative correlation found between the hours of sound sleep and the total PSQI score.

BACKGROUND: Primigravida mothers are more apprehensive about their ability to breastfeed their neonate and may have less condence about the breastfeeding ability. Very few studies have been done on the effect of sleep & fatigue on breastfeeding efcacy in postpartum mothers, in India OBJECTIVE: To study the correlation between sleep quality & breastfeeding efcacy, fatigue & breastfeeding efcacy, postpartum depression & breastfeeding efcacy in primigravida lactating mothers. MATERIALS AND METHOD: Hospital based cross sectional study was conducted at the tertiary care hospital in Mumbai.Total assessment questionnaires, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), Multidimensional Assessment of Fatigue (MAF) Scale, Breastfeeding Self Efcacy Scale (BSES), Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) were used to gather information from 84 primigravida lactating mothers attending anti-natal clinic during study period. Fifty-two mothers lled all the questionnaire and 32 mothers did not complete all questionnaires appropriately. RESULTS. The very weak negative correlation between BSFS with PSQI, BSES with ISI, BSES with MAF, BSES with EPDS, PSQI with MAF, ISI with MAF and MAF with EPDS. High correlation was observed in PSQI with ISI (0.794), PSQI with EPDS (0.732), ISI with EPDS (0.736) with 'p' value<0.05. In analysis it was revealed that Quality of sleep, Insomnia and Postpartum depression has good correlation between them. These factors does not signicantly correlate with the breastfeeding efcacy of postpartum lactating mothers CONCLUSION: Quality of sleep, level of fatigue, fatigue and postpartum depression does not impact directly on the perception of primigravida mothers on their breastfeeding ability
