The objective of this study was to describe the quality of sleep of aged individuals at home and in hospital. Descriptive study, conducted in the wards of a university hospital in São Paulo, Brazil, with 160 individuals (57.5% men, mean age 69.8 years) admitted for a period between 48 hours to five days, who were able to answer the instruments. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index was used at home and a visual analog scale of sleep in the hospital. This scale indicated satisfactory sleep quality and moderate daytime sleepiness. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index indicated poor quality of sleep at home (69.4%), more particularly sleep fragmentation for the majority of subjects. Data indicating poor quality of sleep at home emphasize the need for assessing the quality of sleep of the elderly, especially its fragmentation, as well as the need for studies that give support to practices that promote good sleep quality during hospitalization, aiming at clinical recovery.

ABSTRACT In stroke patients particularly, many factors, such as sleep-related respiratory disturbances, can impair sleep. Cheap and easy-to-use tools have been created to identify sleep quality and sleep disturbances in patients after stroke. This study described the scores of the sleep apnea screening questionnaire - STOP-BANG - in patients after a stroke, and correlated the findings with sleep quality measured by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). The scores of the STOP-BANG and PSQI were 4.3 ± 1.8 and 76 ± 3.9, respectively. The STOP-BANG scores were higher in poor sleepers (4.5 ± 1.6 versus 3.5 ± 1.9; p = 0.032). Logistic regression analysis was used to identify predictors of subjective sleep quality (PSQI) and the STOP-BANG as a predictor of poor quality sleep, with a relative risk of 1.6, controlled for age and sex. This study indicated that sleep quality was largely influenced by sleep breathing problems, which were well identified by the STOP-BANG, especially in younger stroke patients.

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the quality of sleep in women with urinary incontinence before and after sling surgery. Methods: A prospective study of case series of women with urodynamic diagnosis of stress urinary incontinence. To evaluate the subjective quality of sleep, two specific questionnaires were used and validated for the Portuguese Language: Epworth Sleepiness Scale and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. The questionnaires were applied before and 6 months after surgical repair. Results: When analyzing the Epworth Sleepiness Scale, there was an improvement in sleep quality (p=0.0401). For the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, only for sleep disorder there was improvement in quality of sleep after surgery (p=0.0127). Conclusion: Women with urinary incontinence, submitted to surgery with sling, showed improvement in both quality of sleep and sleep disorder.

Shift Pattern

IntroductionShift work associated with many health problems, work performance and injury. Disturbance of sleep quality is the main mechanism of shift work effects. Nurses are at risk of many occupational hazards and also shift work. The information about shiftwork and the association of sleep quality amongst nurses of Thailand is still limit.ObjectiveTo study the association of shift work and quality of sleep and which pattern has highest risk of poor quality of sleep amongst nurses in university hospital in Northeastern region of Thailand.Material and methodOne thousand and one hundred nurses were met inclusion and exclusion criteria with 75.5%(n=831) participation rate. The data was collected via questionnaire including personal information, shift schedule, depression screening questionnaire, obstructive sleep apnea screening questionnaire and sleep quality questionnaire (PSQI). Cross-sectional analytical study was conducted.ResultAll patterns of shift work amongst sample were irregular shift work. There were statistically significant association between shift work and poor quality of sleep . Predominant backward shift pattern has higher association of poor quality of shiftwork than predominant forward shift pattern.ConclusionEven shift work associate with poor quality of sleep but good strategy of shift work scheduling help to decrease risk of poor quality of sleep.

Purposive Sampling

Lebih dari separuh wanita hamil yang merasa tidak nyaman karena mual dan muntah dilaporkan telah mengalami gangguan tidur selama kehamilan. Durasi tidur yang tidak memadai dan kualitas tidur yang buruk selama kehamilan dapat meningkatkan kehamilan dengan risiko, termasuk gangguan pertumbuhan janin, dan depresi pascapersalinan. Yoga umumnya digunakan untuk relaksasi dan terbukti efektif untuk mengurangi stres dan kecemasan pada wanita hamil sehingga dimungkinkan untuk meningkatkan kualitas tidur bagi wanita hamil. Salah satu bentuk latihan yoga pada ibu hamil adalah pranayama dan postur yoga restoratif. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui apakah pranayama dan postur yoga restoratif efektif untuk meningkatkan kualitas tidur pada wanita hamil. Studi quasy eksperimental dengan kelompok kontrol ini dilakukan pada 58 wanita hamil dengan mual muntah yang didapatkan dengan metode purposive sampling. Responden dibagi menjadi dua kelompok, 29 responden di setiap kelompok. Pranayama dan postur yoga restoratif diberikan pada kelompok intervensi dalam 30 menit selama 7 hari terus menerus. Kualitas tidur diukur oleh Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Hasil analisis data menggunakan uji Chi-Square menunjukkan bahwa tidak ada perbedaan dalam skor kualitas tidur ibu hamil sebelum dan sesudah diberi pranayama dan postur yoga restoratif (p>0.05). Wanita hamil trimester kedua dan ketiga yang mengalami mual dan muntah dalam penelitian ini tampaknya tidak mengalami peningkatan kualitas tidur setelah melakukan pranayama dan postur yoga restoratif. Frekuensi dan keteraturan dalam melakukan yoga menjadi poin penting yang perlu diperhatikan untuk hasil yang lebih ba

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronical community health problem, and mostly suffered by the elderly. The elderly with DM have several symptoms at night that caused a sleep disorder and it may be affected by the poor quality of sleep.  The poor quality of sleep has several negative impacts to elderly including sleepy in the daylight, a lack of attention, memory disorders, depression, easy to fall, and reduce of the quality of life. There is a need for a study that assesses the sleep quality of elderly with DM. This study used descriptive quantitative approach. The samples were chosen using total sampling technique. This study involved 47 elderly with DM in the primary health center (PHC) Garuda. The data were collected using Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) Questionnaire that has been adapted for elders. The data were analyzed using distribution frequency. The results showed that the majority of elderly had a poor sleep quality (51%). All elders in this study had sleep disorders, and some of them had behavior that affected   their sleep quality, such as sleeping in a bright room (n=25), sleeping in low temperature room (n=27), and consuming caffeine (n=28). Nurses in the community setting are expected to provide health education to maintenance a good sleep quality, such as the importance of sleeping in the dark and warm temperature room, and avoiding to consume caffeine.

Abstract Background: Some patients with liver cirrhosis have sleep-wake disturbance and reduced quality of life (QOL). However, the effects of L-carnitine on QOL and sleep-wake disturbance have not been extensively studied. Thus, we aimed to examine the effects of L-carnitine on the sleep quality and QOL in cirrhotic patients.Methods: We investigated 19 cirrhotic patients (age: 65.0±10.2 years, male:female=10:9, Child-Pugh score: 6.5±1.8) treated with 1500-mg L-carnitine at Nagasaki University Hospital and its associated hospitals. We used questionnaires to evaluate the patients’ sleep-wake disturbance and QOL at the time of entry and 8 weeks. Results: Cirrhosis-related symptom scores (CSSs), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and General Health (GH) of QOL score improved with L-carnitine treatment (CSS: from 11.5±9.4 to 9.4±3.7, p=0.015; PSQI: from 9.6±5.8 to 7.4±3.3, p=0.035; GH: from 33.5±8.2 to 38.3±9.8, p=0.05). L-carnitine treatment reduced PSQI in 12 out of 14 patients with sleep disturbance (PSQI>5). CSS was improved in 12 cases (63%), and PSQI was improved in 13 cases (68%). However, L-carnitine treatment did not improve daytime hypersomnolence, as evaluated by the Epworth Sleepiness Scale. None of patients had any adverse events related to the L-carnitine treatment.Conclusions: L-carnitine is a safe and useful treatment for cirrhotic patients with reduced sleep quality and QOL.
