Objetivo: Este estudo, pioneiro no Brasil, apresentado à Faculdade de Ciências Médicas (UNICAMP), em caráter dissertativo, transversal descritivo, teve por objetivo relacionar as variáveis: aproveitamento escolar, stress e qualidade do sono em um grupo de adolescentes do ensino médio. Materiais e métodos: amostra de 160 adolescentes, ambos os gêneros, entre 15 a 18 anos, estudantes do ensino médio na cidade de Alfenas, Minas Gerais, Brasil. Para a coleta de dados, utilizou-se dos instrumentos: 1) Índice de Qualidade de Sono de Pittsburgh (IQSP); 2) Inventário de sintomas de stress para adultos de Lipp (ISSL); 3) Boletins dos alunos, por meio dos quais foram recolhidas as faltas e as notas. Resultados: Dentre os participantes, 65,63% são do gênero feminino. Em se tratando do aproveitamento escolar, observaram-se as médias 0,64 para o grupo feminino (F) e 0,60 para o masculino (M) (p=0,04). Para o número de faltas, têm-se as médias de 28,1 (F) e de 30,3 (M) (p=0,7440). Em relação à sintomatologia de stress, 65,71% (F) e 29,09% (M) foram classificados estressados e 34,29% (F) e 70,91% (M) não apresentaram sintomas de estresse (p< 0,001). Referente à qualidade do sono, observou-se que as mulheres apresentaram pior qualidade, sendo a média 6,0 (F) e de 5,3 (M) (p=0,27); na classificação do sono, 68,57% (F) e 61,82% (M) não dormem bem. Conclusão: O grupo feminino apresentou melhor aproveitamento nas atividades escolares, com notas mais elevadas e maior assiduidade, maior sintomatologia de stress e pior qualidade do sono.  Palavras Chave: Qualidade do sono; Estresse; Avaliação escolar.  Objective: This dissertational, transversal and descriptive study, presented at the School of Medical Sciences of UNICAMP, aims at establishing a connection between the variables “school learning”, “stress” and “sleep quality” in high school adolescents. Materials and Methods: A sample of 160 high-school students of both genders, aged 15-18 years, in Alfenas, Minas Gerais, Brazil. For data collection, the following tools were used: 1) Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI); 2) Lipp’s Inventory of Stress Symptoms (LISS); 3) Students' grades and attendance records. Results: Among participants, 65.63% were females. The means of 0.64 for the female group (F) and 0.60 for the male group (M) were found for school learning. Regarding non-attendance, the means were 28.1 (F) and 30.3 (M), with p=0,7440. Concerning stress symptoms, 65,71% (F) and 29,09% (M) were classified as stressed, while 34,29% (F) and 70,91% (M) showed no stress symptoms (p < 0.001). Females presented a poorer sleep quality: the means were 6,0 (F) and 5,3 (M), with p = 0.27. The sleep classification revealed that 68,57% (F) and 61,82% (M) are poor sleepers. Conclusion: Females presented a better school learning, with higher grades, higher attendance, more stress symptoms, and poorer sleep quality.  Keywords: Sleep quality; Stress; School evaluation

The increasing use of smartphone among young people is creating negative effects and is an important public health problem in many countries. Smartphone abuse and addiction may cause physical and psychological disorders among users. However, the awarenes on this issue has been inadequate due to lacking of evidence. Objectives: To describe the current situation of smartphone using among students at highschools and universities in Hue city and to examine the relationship between smartphone using and sleep disturbances and psychological disstress among participants. Methods: A cross-sectional study with a randomly selected sample of 1,150 students at highschools and universities in Hue city. SAS-SV scale was used to evaluate phone addiction status, K10 scale was used for psychological distress assessment and PSQI scale was used to examine the sleep quality. Results: The proportion of students at highschools and universities having smartphones was 78.0%. The rate of smartphone addiction among high school students was 49.1% and that among university students was 43.7%. There was 57.3% of high school students had poor sleep quality, and that of university students was 51.6%. There was a statistically significant association between smartphone addiction and sleep disturbances and psychological disstress among participants (p <0.05). Conclusion: The prevalence of smartphone addiction among students at highschools and universities is alarming and is related to sleep disturbances and psychological disstress among participants. There is a strong call to develop intervention to help students to aware and manage the use of smartphone effectively.

AbstractModern cancer research, and the wealth of data across multiple spatial and temporal scales, has created the need for researchers that are well-versed in the life sciences (cancer biology, developmental biology, immunology), medical sciences (oncology) and natural sciences (mathematics, physics, engineering, computer sciences). College undergraduate education is traditionally provided in disciplinary silos, which creates a steep learning curve at the graduate and postdoctoral levels that increasingly bridge multiple disciplines. Numerous colleges have begun to embrace interdisciplinary curricula, but students who double-major in mathematics (or other quantitative sciences) and biology (or medicine) remain scarce. We identified the need to educate junior and senior high school students about integrating mathematical and biological skills, through the lens of mathematical oncology, to better prepare students for future careers at the interdisciplinary interface. The High school Internship Program in Integrated Mathematical Oncology (HIP IMO) at Moffitt Cancer Center has so far trained 59 students between 2015 and 2019. We report here on the program structure, training deliverables, curriculum, and outcomes. We hope to promote such interdisciplinary educational activities early in a student’s career.

Blue-light therapy is well known for curing patients with Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), where the patient experiences depressive factors. In this study I used blue-light therapy in the form of blue-light lightboxes from the comapny Circadian Optics, as seen on shark tank. Instead of using the lightboxes to cure SAD, they were instead used to see if they provoked the participants sleep quality. The participants from Polytechnic highschool were selected from the Badminton Team, where the athletes woke up at five a.m. on school days. This ensured that the crowd was overall tired and fatigued. Over the four week testing course, participants proved positive results.

OBJECTIVE: The objective of the present study is to analyze the effect of stress on sleep quality in a group of adolescents. METHOD: Two high schools in Alfenas, southern Minas Gerais State, Brazil, were chosen to participate in the study. The sample consisted of both genders (n=160) with 65.63% females. The age range of participants was 15 to18 years. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was applied for collection of data to quantify sleep quality. The Lipp Inventory of Stress Symptoms that objectively identifies symptoms of stress was applied. RESULTS: It was observed that 23.53% of stressed students and 45.33% of unstressed ones sleep well; 76.47% of stressed pupils and 54.67% of those unstressed do not sleep well. With regard to school performance, a mean of 0.65 was found for stressed students and 0.60 for those without stress, Mann-Whitney (p=0.0596). CONCLUSION: Stress contributed to raising the percentage of poor sleepers, as ell as increasing ean school performance.
