Lack Of Sleep

Nurses have long working hours with high psychological burdens. In addition, in the emergency department, nurses are required to quickly adapt emotionally. The aim of this study was to describe and relate emotional intelligence (EI) skills of emergency nurses, their body mass index (BMI) and sleep quality. For this purpose, a cross-sectional was carried out in which the perceived emotional intelligence test and the Pittsburgh sleep quality index were applied. Sixty-two emergency nurses (48 women and 14 men) participated. The results indicated that the majority of them present adequate levels of EI, with no differences by gender. Younger nurses showed a better ability to feel, express and understand emotional states than the older ones, while the ability to regulate emotional states occurred in the opposite way. Nurses who have been working for several years showed a better ability to regulate emotions than those with less experience. Those who were overweight grade II and obese type I expressed their feelings better, also the regulation of emotional states decreased as weight increased. Finally, it has been observed that the quality of sleep of emergency nurses is significantly altered, and that this lack of sleep may affect their ability to process emotions.

Self Reporting Questionnaire

Sleep problems are frequent among people living with HIV (PLWH). Recent studies have found that inadequate nutritional status and presence of gastrointestinal symptoms are associated with sleep problems. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to evaluate the influence of nutritional status and gastrointestinal symptoms on sleep quality in PLWH receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART). A cross-sectional study evaluating the influence of nutritional and gastrointestinal aspects on the quality of sleep in 307 PLWH (age ≥18 years) receiving ART seen at the Specialized Care Service of Santos (SP, Brazil) was carried out. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), body mass index and three questions from the Self-Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ-20) were used. Generalized linear models adjusted for gender, age, time in use of antiretrovirals, viral load, CD4+ T-lymphocyte cell count and CD4/CD8 ratio were built. Results showed that body mass index did not affect sleep quality. However, the interaction between poor appetite and not having poor digestion and uncomfortable feelings in the stomach negatively influenced sleep quality. The interaction of the three symptoms evaluated also affected sleep quality. Gastrointestinal symptoms were associated with reduced sleep quality, but there was no influence of BMI. Although the etiology of this relationship is unclear, there seems to be an important association between sleep quality, immune function and gastrointestinal disorders.

Abstract Background Students need quality sleep and regular feeding during an intensive training proces. The aim of this study was to determine the sleep quality of Faculty of Medicine students and whether there is a relationship between sleep quality and eating attitudes and habits. Methods In this cross-sectional study; a face-to-face questionnaire was administered to 352 students who attending Inonu University Medical Faculty between January and March of 2019. The sample group is stratified according to class sizes (total 1665 students. The sleep quality and eating behaviors of students were questioned. For purpose, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PUKI, developed by Buysse et al,1989), and Eating Attitude Test (EAT,developed by Garner et al 1982) was used to assess quality and disorders. Kolmogorov Smirnov normal distribution test, Mann Whitney U and Kruskal Wallis test were used in analysis of the data. Results The mean age of the students was 21.5 ± 2.5 and 54.3% were female and 45.7% were male and 25.0% smoked cigarette. 64.4% of the study group had normal body mass index. The median value of the PUKI (cut of point is 5.0 and under 5 is good) score by gender is similar with 6.0 (1.0-15.0). The median value of the PUKI score was 6.0 (1.0-16.0) in social media / internet users and 5.0 (1.0-13.0) in non-users. According to Internet / social media users before going to sleep, the difference is significant (p: 0.016). The difference between cigarette smoking and median value of PUKI was significant (p: 0.029). there was a difference between classes in favor of upper classes in terms of EAT values (p = 0,046). 12.2% of the students are at risk of Blumia and 10.8% are at risk of Anorexia. There was no significant but positive correlation between the PUKI and EAT (p = 0.074, r = 0.096). Conclusions In general, the students’ sleep quality and eating attitudes and habits were found close to the cut-off points accepted by the tests. But blumia and anorexia is significant. This study was supported by the Research Fund of the Inonu University (No. 1792) Key messages Social media / internet usage of students before going to sleep affects sleep quality significantly. Although 64.4% of the students have normal body mass index, eating disorders (bulumia and anorexia) risk are noteable.

Dizygotic (DZ) co-twins born to mothers and fathers from different racial or ethnic backgrounds often resemble one parent much more than the other. As such, these pairs comprise a unique subset of twins for investigating how others’ responses to their different looks may affect their personalities and self-esteem. This article describes some of these twin pairs and some challenges of raising them, and suggests ways they may be used in research. Next, recent twin research on cystic teratomas, relations between sleep quality and body mass index, and previable membrane rupture is described. The final section concerns twins, twin studies, and related events in the media, namely: twins born to a sister surrogate, the NASA twin investigation, inspiring African-Cosmopolitan twins in fashion, and triplet Hockey Stars.
