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.

Lifestyle Program

Objective. Adopting a plant-based diet (PBD) and lifestyle is healthy, sustainable, and increasingly popular, while also demanding. Individuals might face challenges to maintain this lifestyle. We aimed to determine the anthropometric values and lifestyle factors and motives of adults to adopt a whole-food, plant-based (WFPB) lifestyle by joining our ongoing, community-based, WFPB lifestyle program 0.5–10 years ago. Methods. We measured body mass index (BMI) and body fat percentage status (BF%) using bioimpedance. Lifestyle status was obtained by standardized electronic questionnaires. For evaluating the motives for following strict PBD, the participants were asked to rank 8 different motives (i.e., 8: the most-, 1: the least important). Setting. A cross-sectional study in Slovenia. Participants. A total of 151 healthy adults with an average age of 39.6 years (SD: 12.5 years). Results. The participants had an average BMI of 23.9 kg/m2 (SD: 3.8 kg/m2) and an average BF% of 22.3% (SD: 7.3%), were physically very active, with an average Long International Physical Activity Questionnaire (L-IPAQ) score of 5541.2 metabolic equivalents (METs) min/week (SD: 4677.0 METs min/week), having good sleep quality, with an average Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) score of 2.7 (SD: 1.8), perceiving low stress, and with an average Perceived Stress Questionnaire (PSQ) score of 0.29 (SD: 0.1). We discovered no significant differences in lifestyle between participants who were involved in our WFPB lifestyle program for short, medium, or long periods of time. The motives for WFPB lifestyle included health benefits (score: 7.9/8), body mass management (6.3), eating to satiety (4.9), convenience (4.3), environmental concerns (4.1), affordability (3.7), animal ethics (3.6), and religious reasons (1.1). Conclusion. A WFPB lifestyle program for any length of time that includes an extensive support system provides favorable, long-term lifestyle changes.

Background: Sleep disorders can act as risk factors and even aggravate underlying conditions. With prevalence of 17% in general population, hypertension is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in India. Though hypertension has various well established risk factors like family history, sedentary lifestyle, poor diet, smoking and age, sleep is often an understudied and overlooked factor. Body mass index is another important risk factor for various physical conditions. Associations between sleep and body mass index have been documented in many studies around the world. Although a consensus is yet to be drawn, many studies highlight that BMI related disorders could be predicted by sleep duration and quality. Materials and Methods: Two hundred consecutive hypertensive patients who were attending the OPD for follow-up were included as participants in this study after obtaining an informed consent. A semi structured proforma was designed to elicit the socio demographic profile of the participants. Each participant was assessed for the presence of sleep disorders by sleep-50 questionnaire and quality of sleep by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Results: Results found that BMI was significantly correlated with sleep quality, sleep duration, and sleep disorder. Hypertension was not significantly correlated to sleep quality or duration but associated to sleep disorder. Conclusion: This study found that body mass index was significantly correlated with sleep variables such as sleep duration, sleep quality, and sleep disorders. Maintaining a healthy BMI could in fact impact the amount and quality of sleep an individual receives.
