Introduction: Sleeping is essential to maintain proper relationships with others, keep alertness, and execute responsibilities, among many other functions. In the medical profession, there are several studies linking sleep deprivation with a decrease in responsiveness, cognition and attention. With this study we intended to characterize the sleep pattern of Portuguese anaesthesiologists and identify independent factors associated with sleep quality in this population.Material and Methods: An observational, cross-sectional study of senior and resident anesthesiologists working in Portugal was carried out through an online questionnaire. Individuals working exclusively in intensive care units, emergency departments or with previously diagnosed sleep disorders were excluded. Socio-demographic data, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Epworth Sleepiness Scale and Perceived Stress Scale were applied. Statistical significance was assessed using the Mann-Whitney test and the chi-square test. A multivariable analysis was performed to examine the association between the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and certain variables.Results: Among 256 respondents, 46.1% reported “poor” quality of sleep (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index > 5). Within these individuals, 77.1% slept less than 7 hours per night (p < 0.001). Excessive daytime sleepiness (Epworth Sleepiness Scale > 10) was present in 41.0% of the sample, and the median Perceived Stress Scale score was 17.0. The independent factors associated with worse quality ofsleep were the number of working hours/week (OR 1.03, 95% CI 1,01 to 1,06), perceived stress (OR 1.18, 95% CI 1.11 to 1.26), taking sleep medication (OR 14.72, 95% CI 5.55 to 39.08), and sleep hours/night (OR 0.25, 95% CI 0.15 to 0.42).Discussion: This fraction of Portuguese anaesthesiologists presented a poorer quality of sleep, with excessive daytime somnolence, perceived stress and higher sedative use compared to previously studied populations.Conclusion: Our study characterizes sleep patterns and identifies potential risk factors linked to sleep disturbances in a sample of Portuguese anaesthesiologists. Government and institutional policies can endorse sleep hygiene practices and habits, promoting healthier working environments.

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.

A catastrofização é definida como um conjunto de pensamentos negativos com tendência ao exagero mental, mediante uma situação real ou antecipada de experiência dolorosa, associada à sensação de incapacidade para busca do alívio da dor. Objetivo: avaliar a catastrofização da cefaleia associada a condições clínicas como incapacidade funcional, depressão, ansiedade, estresse e qualidade do sono, em universitários. Material e Método: estudo observacional transversal com uma amostra de 340 universitários (179 mulheres), com idade de 25 ± 5 anos. Foi utilizado um formulário de cadastro para coletar informações pessoais e antropométricas. Os critérios da International Classification of Headache Disorders 3rd edition Beta version foram utilizados para classificar a cefaleia. A escala de pensamentos catastróficos sobre dor (EPCD) foi utilizada para rastrear a catastrofização. Para avaliar a incapacidade funcional gerada pela cefaleia foi utilizado o questionário Headache Disability Test – HIT-6. Sintomatologias de depressão e de ansiedade foram rastreadas pelo Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), e Beck Anxiety Inventory – BAI, respectivamente. O estresse percebido foi avaliado pela escala Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) e a qualidade do sono pelo questionário Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. A estatística descritiva foi aplicada para caracterização da amostra, analisadas as diferenças de médias por meio dos testes t de Student e χ2. Para a aplicação da estatística analítica foram utilizadas regressão linear simples e regressão linear logística multivariada generalizada. Resultados: 288/340 (84,7%) dos universitários referiram cefaleia; desses, 133/288 (46,1%) eram migranosos [96/133 (72,2%) mulheres e 37/133 (27,8%) homens; OR= 1,92] e 155/288 (53,9%) não migranosos. Dentre os migranosos, 44/133 (33,08) apresentaram catastrofização (OR 37.44). A regressão linear revelou um potencial maior de contribuição (β) das seguintes condições clínicas: estresse, qualidade do sono ruim e ansiedade para o grupo dos migranosos. A regressão logística multivariada também mostrou a catastrofização, fornecendo estimativa com maior impacto na mudança dos valores da probabilidade da ocorrência da migrânea, com acréscimo de 5,78 pontos percentuais, quando se mantém constante das outras variáveis preditoras. A regressão linear multivariada para a avaliação do impacto da cefaleia indica que a catastrofização é a variável que apresenta maior contribuição na incapacidade gerada pela dor de cabeça, com um valor de β de 5,564 e p<0,001, apresentando forte significância. Conclusão: a catastrofização na migrânea, associada a outras condições clínicas avaliadas neste estudo, como a depressão, ansiedade, estresse e qualidade do sono, exerce influência significativa para a incapacidade gerada pela dor.

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.

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

Chinese Elders

The current research aims to prove the impact of resilience on sleep quality and to investigate the mediating function of perceived stress in the paths from resilience to sleep quality among disabled Chinese elders. The participants were 196 elders with visual and physical disability who resided in the nursing houses in Shanghai, including 102 males and 94 females whose mean age was 74.5 years old (standard deviation = 6.81). All the elders were measured with the 10-item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and Perceived Stress Scale. The results showed that all the demographic variables were significantly related to perceived stress and PSQI scores. High levels of resilience could significantly enhance the quality of sleep in disabled Chinese elders. In addition, the two-step mediation models also confirmed the impact of resilience on sleep quality as mediated through perceived stress in this special aged population. Better knowledge on the mechanisms of sleep quality among older adults could benefit the prevention and treatment of some geriatric diseases.

Purpose: Psychological stress is reported to be an important contributor to reduced sleep quality and quantity observed in elite athletes. The purpose of this study was to explore the association between psychological stress and sleep and to identify if specific aspects of sleep are disturbed. Methods: One hundred thirty-one elite athletes (mean [SD], male: n = 46, age 25.8 [4.1] y; female: n = 85, age 24.3 [3.9] y) from a range of sports completed a series of questionnaires in a 1-month period approximately 4 months before the 2016 Rio Olympic Games. Questionnaires included the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index; Recovery-Stress Questionnaire; Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS 21); and Perceived Stress Scale (PSS). Results: Regression analysis identified the PSS and DASS stress as the main variables associated with sleep. A PSS score of 6.5 or higher was associated with poor sleep. In addition, a PSS score lower than 6.5 combined with a DASS stress score higher than 4.5 was also associated with poor sleep. Univariate analyses on subcomponents of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index confirmed that PSS is associated with lower sleep quality (t99 = 2.40, P = .018), increased sleep disturbances (t99 = 3.37, P = .001), and increased daytime dysfunction (t99 = 2.93, P = .004). DASS stress was associated with increased sleep latency (t94 = 2.73, P = .008), increased sleep disturbances (t94 = 2.25, P = .027), and increased daytime dysfunction (t94 = 3.58, P = .001). Conclusions: A higher stress state and higher perceived stress were associated with poorer sleep, in particular increased sleep disturbances and increased daytime dysfunction. Data suggest that relatively low levels of psychological stress are associated with poor sleep in elite athletes.
