Filter by:General anesthesia is a medically induced state of low reactivity consciousness involving amnesia, immobility, unconsciousness, and analgesia, which is similar to natural sleep. Its aim is to create a state of sensory deprivation to induce a lack of motor reaction to stimuli and to obtain an explicit amnesia. Some studies found that general anesthesia as an independent risk factor could result in a desynchronization of the circadian time structure and cause postoperative sleep disorders characterized by reduced rapid eye movement (REM) and slow wave sleep (SWS), which have significant deleterious impacts on postoperative outcomes, such as postoperative fatigue, severe anxiety and depression, emotional detachment and delirium, and even pain sensitivity or postoperative pain of patients.Several studies also indicated that circadian rhythms existed in human and controlled by a main internal central clock, the suprachiasmatic nuclei, located in the anterior hypothalamus, which produce and regulate biological rhythms such as sleep arousal, hormones and metabolism could also affect the dose of general anesthesics, which lead to different postoperative recoveries and may have different effects on postoperative sleep quality. Previous studies proved that postoperative sleep disturbances and poor sleep quality are associated with higher postoperative pain, changes in behavior and poor emotional well-being, which could further aggravate postoperative sleep quality. At present, there are few studies which are about the effect of circadian rhythm for different timing of surgery on intraoperative anesthestic requirement, postoperative sleep quality and pain under general anesthesia.
This research aims to determine if melatonin supplementation, through improvements in sleep quality, increases the ability to repair oxidative DNA damage and reduce lipid peroxidation levels among nightshift workers.
Sleep-wake disturbances were found to be a common problem among patients with CHD either earlier during hospitalization or/ and after discharge Although there is an evidence that sleep-wake disturbanes occur in high rate among patients with CHD little was found about assessment and management of this problem. This randomized controlled study will assess sleep quality of stable CHD patients who were admitted for undergoing coronary angiography electively. Then it will test the hypothesis that atlas cedar wood essential oil aromatherapy have a positive effect on sleep quality of CHD patients.
There is a high prevalence of poor sleep quality among university students studying in different areas such as medicine, nursing, art, science, social work etc. and in different countries. However, the studies done especially for physiotherapy students, and in Turkey, as well, are not many. Therefore, we aimed to search the sleep quality among physiotherapy students, and observe the association between the health related quality of life and physical activity level of the physiotherapy students. The physiotherapy students were included. Their quality of sleep will be assessed by Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. The physical activity will be searched by International Physical Activity Questionnaire, and SF-36 will be used to assess quality of life. Data is going to analyzed statistically
Shift work in nursing has been found to result in sleep disruption and sleep deprivation, and in sleepiness or fatigue at work. Slow reaction, insufficient attention and poor judgement often come with increased fatigue, which contributes to a high risk of accident and patient safety. Studies have shown that aerobic exercise is helpful in promoting high sleep quality. The study is conducted a prospective parallel randomized trial is performed to 60 nurses with low sleep quality. The subjects are randomly assigned to: (i) the experimental group, in which aerobic exercise training is given; (ii) the control group, in which the subjects kept their original lifestyles. The study aims to investigate the effects of aerobic exercise training on nurses' sleep quality, fatigue, attention and cortisol profile.
Polysomnography (PSG) is considered the 'gold standard' for objectively measuring different parameters of sleep, including total sleep time, quality of sleep, and distinguishing between sleep stages. However, PSG is costly, and tends to be burdensome in terms of set-up time and invasiveness during sleep. Wearable sleep-monitoring devices could prove to be a more practical alternative to PSG. Additionally, while EKG leads are typically what is utilized to measure heart rate (HR) and heart rate variability (HRV) throughout the night in a PSG set-up, every day-use HR monitors are also beneficial for individuals to evaluate their cardiovascular activity during different types of physical activities (including every day activities, exercise, and sleep), as well as their heart's ability to "recover" from a given activity. The investigators propose to study the effect of the WHOOP Strap 2.0 device on sleep perception and perform a methodological study to validate the accuracy of the the WHOOP Strap 2.0 device when measuring HR accuracy and HRV accuracy, and sleep quality and quantity with respect to PSG in healthy volunteers with no self-reported sleep disorders or debilitating medical conditions.
Several factors may cause sleep disturbance among nursing students. Sleep and its several influencing factors are both continuous dynamic process. However, research related to sleep and related issue in nursing students in a longitudinal manner is limited worldwide. Thus, the investigators intend to conduct a 3-year research divided into three phases to explore the issue. The first phase will adopt longitudinal panel study design. Nursing students from two schools will be invited to participate in the first year study, which will be about 800 people. The second phase is to classify music appreciated by the students into different music quadrants that may be effective and can be used at the third phase. The third phase is designed to explore the longitudinal effects of a 3-month social network combined with music care program on sleep quality, sleep knowledge, sleep hygiene and daytime sleepiness and fatigue. Students will be randomized into 2 groups: intervention and control groups. Participants in the intervention group will receive a 12-week intervention program. The control group will be no intervention. Growth curve modeling will be employed in this study for longitudinal analyses to identify the sleep predicted by the students' characteristics. This study will enable us to advance knowledge and research about nursing students' longitudinal patterns of sleep and the longitudinal effects of the intervention program on their sleep.
This is a randomized controlled trial to compare the efficacy of Fu's subcutaneous needle (FSN) and Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) on chronic neck pain by using more objective assessment tools such as Neck Disability Index, Visual Analog Scales, Pressure Pain Threshold and Myotone of MTrPs of Upper Trapezius Muscles, Range of Motion of Stretch of Upper Trapezius Muscle, and Pittsburgh sleep quality index.
This study is designed to compare the effectiveness of different doses of brain health supplement MMFS relative to placebo on cognition, mood, and sleep quality.
The study evaluates the effectiveness of ear plug, eye mask and ocean sound on sleep quality among ICU patients. 60 patients were randomly allocated to group 1 and group 2 by lottery method i.e 30 in each group. Group 1 received earplugs and eye masks on the first night followed by washout period on second night and received ocean sound on third night, while the group 2 received ocean sound on the first night followed by washout period on second night and received earplugs and eye mask on third night.
