This study aimed to perform a subjective evaluation of the sleep quality of truck drivers in the extreme western region of Santa Catarina. For this purpose, a questionnaire was used to evaluate the participants' profile and two other questionnaires to measure the degree of sleepiness (Epworth Scale) and Pittsburgh sleep quality index. The sample consisted of 179 truck drivers, all of them male, aged between 21 and 65 years; 77.65% married and 22.34% single; 72.6% have children, with an average of two children per participant. As for the professional profile, 75.9% of the interviewees work as wage earners and 24.1% as freelancers. The type of route covered, in most cases, is long distance, representing 66%, and 34% being short distance routes. Regarding the educational level, 53.5% of the participants have elementary education; 42.4% high school and 3.9% were graduates. Overweight or obesity was identified in 59.80% of the interviewees. About sleep quality, 22.5% reported sleeping less than 5 hours daily; 35.1% from 5h to 6h; 29.0% from 6h to 7h; 12.8% sleep more than 7 hours. On the Epworth Sleepiness Scale, 67.0% presented no sleepiness; 27.3% presented mild degree of somnolence; 5.5% had moderate degree of somnolence. Regarding the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, it was verified that 55.8% presented subjective poor sleep quality. The results suggested that lifestyle and poor habits can negatively influence the health of these professionals.

ABSTRACT Objectives: to analyze the factors associated with poor sleep quality, its characteristics and components in women with breast cancer prior to surgery for removing the tumor and throughout the follow-up. Method: longitudinal study in a teaching hospital, with a sample of 102 women. The following were used: a questionnaire for sociodemographic and clinical characterization, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index; the Beck Depression Inventory; and the Herth Hope Scale. Data collection covered from prior to the surgery for removal of the tumor (T0) to T1, on average 3.2 months; T2, on average 6.1 months; and T3, on average 12.4 months. Descriptive statistics and the Generalized Estimating Equations model were used. Results: depression and pain contributed to the increase in the score of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and hope, to the reduction of the score - independently - throughout follow-up. Sleep disturbances were the component with the highest score throughout follow-up. Conclusion: the presence of depression and pain, prior to the surgery, contributed to the increase in the global score of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, which indicates worse quality of sleep throughout follow-up; greater hope, in its turn, influenced the reduction of the score of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index.

Abstract This article aims to evaluate the sleep quality in individuals during the COVID-19 pandemic by Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Searches were conducted in the PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and PEDro databases, on May 22, 2020. In the publications, 208 articles were found and, considering the eligibility criteria, 10 articles were included at the end, showing the effects on sleep quality during the pandemic, in populations hospitalized, quarantined, and in frontline health professionals. The PSQI measured sleep disorders and a higher score indicated poor sleep quality. Nine articles were classified with evidence level IV and one as level III-2. Eight studies present a “serious” risk of bias and two in “moderate”. The studies investigated different populations and described the results as “poor” sleep quality, considering the PSQI on quarantined individuals and frontline health professionals as the most committed. A poor sleep quality was found in the populations evaluated in the selected publications, probably, due to the COVID-19 to contribute as a risk factor for mental health. Psychological interventions must be made to minimize the consequences through social support and social capital.

Introduction. The purpose of this study was to evaluate sleep quality among healthcare science students and to assess its association with sleep hygiene knowledge and practices, circadian typology and lifestyle factors. Material and Methods. The research was conducted as a cross-sectional questionnaire-based internet study on a sample of 268 students. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and The Self-Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire were applied as research instruments to assess sleep quality and chronotypes respectively, while evaluation of the other variables was conducted using he Sleep Hygiene Knowledge Questionnaire, socio-demographic questionnaire and the questionnaire of lifestyle factors. Results. The average of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index global score for all students was 6.9 ? 3.2. The poor sleep quality (The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index > 5) was reported in 62.7% of students. Sleep efficiency less than 85% was found in 43.0% of students, and 78% of students reported daytime dysfunctionality. Sleep quality was significantly worse among female students; coffee, alcohol and energy drink consumers and long-term cell phone users. Only 11.9% of students were classified as the morning chronotype and they had the best quality of sleep and the best sleep hygiene knowledge and practices, whereas the evening chronotype had the worst quality of sleep. A significant negative correlation was identified between sleep hygiene knowledge (r = - 0.133) and practice (r = 0.501) and sleep quality whereby the lower t he Sleep Hygiene Knowledge Questionnaire and Sleep Hygiene Practice Scale scores follow a higher the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index score. Conclusion. Majority of students had a suboptimal level of overall sleep quality, satisfactory knowledge of sleep hygiene, but they did not have the sleep hygiene practices which suggests that knowledge is not a factor of deterring from unhealthy behaviors.

ABSTRAK  Tidur berkualitas dibutuhkan oleh pasien kanker payudara agar kondisi dan daya tahan tubuh dapat dipertahankan optimal. Pada saat tidur  sel yang rusak  dapat diperbaiki. Perawat harus memfasilitasi kebutuhan tersebut dan harus mengetahui kualitas tidur pasien dengan terapi yang berbeda, sebagai dasar perencanaan asuhan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk meggambarkan kondisi kualitas tidur pasien yang sedang menjalankan terapi di RSUP Dr. Hasan Sadikin Bandung. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif kuantitatif dengan teknik consecutive sampling (n=31). Data dikumpulkan menggunakan kuesioner Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Kualitas tidur dikatakan baik bila skor total ≤ 5, dan kualitas tidur buruk bila skor total > 5. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa seluruh responden (100%) memiliki kualitas tidur yang buruk. Komponen yang paling banyak berkontribusi dalam penilaian tersebut adalah latensi tidur, durasi tidur, efisiensi kebiasaan tidur, dan disfungsi siang hari. Kualitas tidur terburuk dengan skor 18 terjadi pada responden yang menjalani radioterapi dengan mastektomi (2 orang) dan responden stadium lanjut (3 orang). Kesimpulan, bahwa terapi pengobatan yang dijalani dan kondisi kanker berkontribusi terhadap kualitas tidur pasien kanker payudara. Sejak pasien masuk perawat harus mengkaji kebutuhan tidur, menggali masalah kesulitan tidur, menjelaskan pengaruh tidur terhadap perbaikan sel, dan memberikan informasi tentang cara tidur berkualitas kepada pasien dan keluarganya untuk setting rumah sakit dan di rumah. Rumah Sakit harus memfasilitasi kebutuhan pasien agar tidak terganggu saat tertidur selama dalam perawatan.  ABSTRACT Deep sleep is needed by breast cancer patients to maintain health quality  optimally.  During that time the damaged cells can be repair.

Fibromyalgia is considered as a combination of physical, psychological and social disabilities. The causes of pathologic mechanism underlying fibromyalgia are unknown, but fibromyalgia may lead to reduced quality of life. The objective of this study was to analyze the repercussions of craniosacral therapy on depression, anxiety and quality of life in fibromyalgia patients with painful symptoms. An experimental, double-blind longitudinal clinical trial design was undertaken. Eighty-four patients diagnosed with fibromyalgia were randomly assigned to an intervention group (craniosacral therapy) or placebo group (simulated treatment with disconnected ultrasound). The treatment period was 25 weeks. Anxiety, pain, sleep quality, depression and quality of life were determined at baseline and at 10 minutes, 6 months and 1-year post-treatment. State anxiety and trait anxiety, pain, quality of life and Pittsburgh sleep quality index were significantly higher in the intervention versus placebo group after the treatment period and at the 6-month follow-up. However, at the 1-year follow-up, the groups only differed in the Pittsburgh sleep quality index. Approaching fibromyalgia by means of craniosacral therapy contributes to improving anxiety and quality of life levels in these patients.

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
