ABSTRACT Objective: to evaluate the effectiveness of auriculoacupuncture in improving the sleep quality of nursing professionals in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: quasi-experimental before and after study, without a control or matching group performed from May to July 2020, in a referral hospital for infectious diseases in Ceará. The sample consisted of 26 nursing professionals, including nurses and technicians, who performed three sessions of auriculoacupuncture, once a week, for four weeks. Sleep quality was measured by the Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index. The effects of the intervention were analyzed by the student's “t” test to compare means between the first and last application, one-way ANOVA with repeated measures and post-hoc Sidak´s test. Results: regarding the components of the Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index, significant differences were observed between the individuals in the components: subjective sleep quality (p=0.001); sleep latency (p<0.001), sleep duration (p<0.001), habitual sleep efficiency (p=0.011), sleep disorders (p<0.001), sleeping medications (p=0.005) and excessive daytime sleep sleepiness (p<0.001). The overall sleep index also changed significantly (p<0.001). The intervention reduced the sleep quality index score by 52.35%. Conclusion: the changes that occurred were able to change the category in sleep classification through a detailed decrease in the Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index scores. Significant differences were observed between the first and final moments in the global index and in all components.

Qi Stagnation

Abstract Objective: Depression and sleep disturbance is commonly reported in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). However, it remains unclear whether Qi-stagnation is still a risk factor for MCI before the older adults suffer from depression. The purpose of this study was to examine the association between Qi-stagnation and subjective sleep quality with MCI among non-depressed elderly in the Chinese community.Methods: A simple random sampling method was used to abstract research subjects from 34 community elderly day care centers in Fuzhou city based on their electronic health records from March 2019 to December 2020. Intensive face-to-face interviews were conducted using tools such as Montreal cognitive function assessment, AD8 dementia screening questionnaire, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and TCM constitution assessment scale, among others to analyze the proportion of older adults with MCI who suffer from sleep disturbance and Qi-stagnation in the community. Multi-factor logistical regression was employed to analyze the association among subjective sleep quality, TCM constitution, and MCI.Results: A total of 1,268 subjects were investigated and 1,071 cases were included in this study, among which 314 cases were of MCI patients, with a morbidity of 29.3%. The proportion of individuals having Qi-deficiency (12.4%) and Qi-stagnation (11.1%) was higher in MCI patients than in the controls with normal cognitive function (P<0.05). After adjusting for age, gender, and years of education, the probability of the old with Qi-deficiency and Qi-stagnation suffering from MCI was 1.559 times [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.009–2.407] and 1.706 times (95% CI: 1.078–2.700) higher than that of the older adults without Qi-deficiency and Qi-stagnation, respectively. In the Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) scale, individuals with MCI had poorer subjective sleep quality (Z=-3.404, P=0.001), longer sleep latency (Z=-3.398, P=0.001), shorter sleep duration (Z=-2.237, P=0.025), and aggravated daytime dysfunction (Z=-3.723, P<0.001) compared with those without MCI. The intergroup differences showed no statistical significance in the three dimensions including habitual sleep efficiency, sleep disturbance, and hypnotics between groups. The results of multi-factor logistical regression showed that sleep latency [odds ratio (OR)=1.168, 95% CI: 1.016–1.342], daytime dysfunction (OR=1.261, 95% CI: 1.087–1.463), and Qi-stagnation (OR=1.449, 95% CI: 1.022–2.055) were the risk factors for MCI; the OR for older adults with sleep disturbance and Qi-stagnation suffering from MCI was 2.581 (95% CI 1.706–3.907).Conclusion: MCI patients have a higher incidence of sleep disorders and Qi-stagnation, and may show specific changes in their daytime and nighttime sleep characteristics, with the specific manifestations such as difficulty in falling asleep, easily waking up at night/ early morning, and daytime dysfunction, among others.

Background: Recently, poor cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) has been postulated as an adverse health outcome related to poor sleep quality. However, studies investigating the relationship between CRF and a subjective sleep quality index are scarce. Thus, the current study aimed to investigate the association between CRF and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) in apparently healthy people. The secondary aim was to investigate the association between reported physical activity (PA) and PSQI. Methods: Thirty-three healthy male participants volunteered to participate. CRF (VO2PEAK) was measured via cardiopulmonary exercise testing on a treadmill. A short form of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) was used to measure PA, and PSQI was used for the sleep quality index. Results: There was no correlation between CRF and PSQI total score or any component of the PSQI. There was a significant inverse correlation between IPAQ and PSQI total score (r = −0.36, p = 0.04). Categorical data analysis of the two questionnaires revealed that 42.4% of the participants who reported low physical activity also had poor sleep quality. Conclusions: The current study showed no association between CRF and the subjective sleep quality index but demonstrated a moderate inverse association between reported PA and subjective sleep quality index. The findings suggest that the more reported PA, the better the overall sleep quality.

Abstract: Background: Recently, cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) has been postulated as an adverse health outcome related to poor sleep quality. However, studies investigating the relationship between CRF with subjective sleep quality index are scarce. Thus, the current study aimed to investigate the association between CRF and Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) in apparently healthy people. The secondary aim was to investigate the association between reported physical activities (PA) and PSQI. Methods: 33 apparently healthy male participants volunteered to participate. CRF (VO2 peak) was measured via cardiopulmonary exercise testing on a treadmill. A short form of the International physical activity questionnaire (IPAQ) was used to measure PA, and PSQI was used for sleep quality index. Results: There was no correlation between CRF and PSQI total score or any component of the PSQI. Also, there was no correlation between IPAQ and PSQI total score. Categorical data analysis of the two questionnaires revealed that 45.5% of the participants reported low physical activity and poor sleep quality. Conclusions: There was no association between CRF, reported PA with subjective sleep quality index. The use of objective tools for assessing the quality and quantity of sleep should be recommended for future studies as it may clarify the association between CRF and sleep quality.

The Relationship

Objectives: the current study aimed to investigate the relationship between physical activity (PA) level and inhibitory control performance and then to determine whether this association was mediated by multiple sleep parameters (i.e., subjective sleep quality, sleep duration, sleep efficiency, and sleep disturbance). Methods: 180 healthy university students (age: 20.15 ± 1.92 years) from the East China Normal University were recruited for the present study. PA level, sleep parameters, and inhibitory control performance were assessed using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index Scale (PSQI), and a Stroop test, respectively. The data were analyzed using structural equation modeling. Results: A higher level of PA was linked to better cognitive performance. Furthermore, higher subjective sleep quality and sleep efficiency were associated with better inhibitory control performance. The mediation analysis revealed that subjective sleep quality and sleep efficiency mediated the relationship between PA level and inhibitory control performance. Conclusion: our results are in accordance with the literature and buttress the idea that a healthy lifestyle that involves a relatively high level of regular PA and adequate sleep patterns is beneficial for cognition (e.g., inhibitory control performance). Furthermore, our study adds to the literature that sleep quality and sleep efficiency mediates the relationship between PA and inhibitory control performance, expanding our knowledge in the field of exercise cognition.
