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.

To assess dry eye symptoms (DES) and quality of sleep in engineering students during the Covid19 pandemic lockdown and also to assess the association between DES and sleep quality. A cross-sectional questionnaire-based study was carried out among 396 engineering students studying in Saveetha engineering college. The study tool used was a semi-structured google form questionnaire designed for assessing digital device usage, symptoms of dry eye disease and sleep pattern. Responses were analyzed using appropriate statistical tests. Overall 64.1% attained a score of more than 10, indicating the presence of DES. 70.2% of the study population used digital screens for more than 13 hours. A statistically significant association was found between increased screen time and presence of DES(p<0.05). 64.9% had a score of >18 indicating reduced sleep quality. About 77.1% of the students with DES had reduced sleep quality, and a significant association (p<0.01) was observed between the two. During the Covid19 pandemic lockdown, there appears to be rising prevalence of DES in student population, one of the reasons being increased screen time. The sleep quality was also found to be reduced, and a significant association was found between DES and sleep quality.
