Abstract(s)
O sono é um processo tão importante para o nosso organismo como a alimentação, pois é importante para que ocorra um bom desenvolvimento e regeneração de todos os processos que nele acontecem. Durante o período do sono ocorrem processos que são fundamentais para a função biológica do nosso organismo tais como, a termorregulação, a regeneração do metabolismo energético, a regeneração das funções endócrinas, entre outros. Qualquer tipo de alteração que ocorra durante o sono pode prejudicar qualquer um destes processos o que posteriormente pode provocar vários problemas na vida, diminuindo a sua qualidade.
As pessoas que trabalham por turnos estão mais propícias a sofrer alterações no sono, como por exemplo os profissionais de saúde (auxiliares, administrativos, médicos e enfermeiros). Todos estes profissionais de saúde desempenham papéis que exigem muita concentração e responsabilidade os quais, muitas vezes, podem ser afetados pelo cansaço e pelo stress. Todos estes profissionais que trabalham por turnos e sob tais fatores podem sofrer alterações no sono, ter sonolência durante o dia, diminuir a atenção ao estado dos pacientes, entre outros.
Através da aplicação de um questionário, que incluiu o preenchimento de escalas para avaliação da qualidade do sono e da sonolência diurna – Escala Básica de Insónia e Qualidade de Sono (BaSIQS) e escala de Sonolência de Epworth (ESE) - pretendemos analisar a qualidade do sono dos profissionais de saúde do Hospital Internacional dos Açores (HIA), e em particular, avaliar o impacto do trabalho noturno no sono destes profissionais.
Neste estudo responderam ao questionário 79 profissionais de saúde, sendo que 26,6% (21 profissionais) são do sexo masculino e 73,4% (58 profissionais) do sexo feminino. A maioria dos profissionais de saúde está insatisfeita com a qualidade do seu sono (55,7%) e considera que está em privação do sono (70,9%). Apesar de não terem sido identificadas diferenças significativas entre os grupos de profissionais que trabalham nos períodos diurno e noturno, foi possível constatar que os profissionais que trabalham nos turnos noturnos dormem ligeiramente menos (6,48 h) e apresentam um ligeiro aumento das queixas de sonolência diurna (ESE 6,92). De acordo com vários estudos, a qualidade do sono pode ser afetada por diversos fatores, nomeadamente os horários de trabalho, corroborando a noção de que o trabalho noturno tem um impacto negativo no sono e qualidade de vida dos profissionais de saúde.
ABSTRACT: Sleep is as important a process for our organism as food is since it is important for the proper development and regeneration of all the processes that take place in it. During the period of sleep, processes occur that are fundamental to the biological function of our organism, such as thermoregulation, regeneration of energy metabolism, regeneration of endocrine functions, among others. Any type of alteration that occurs during sleep can harm any of these processes and can later cause various problems in life, reducing its quality. People who work in shifts are more likely to suffer changes in sleep, such as health professionals (assistants, administrators, doctors and nurses). All these health professionals play roles that require a lot of concentration and responsibility and that can often be affected by fatigue and stress. All these professionals who work in shifts and under such factors can suffer changes in sleep, cause drowsiness during the day, reduce attention to the condition of patients, among others. Through the application of questionnaires, which included filling out a scale to assess sleep quality and daytime sleepiness - Basic Insomnia and Sleep Quality (BaSIQS) and Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) - we intended to analyze the quality of sleep of health professionals at the Hospital Internacional dos Açores (HIA) and, particularly, to evaluate the impact of night work on the sleep of these professionals. In this study, 79 health professionals answered the questionnaire, of which 26.6% (21 professionals) were male and 73.4% (58 professionals) were female. Most health professionals are dissatisfied with the quality of their sleep (55.7%) and are sleep deprived (70.9%). Although no significant differences were identified between the groups of professionals who work day and night shifts, it was possible to observe that professionals who work night shifts sleep slightly less (6.48 h) and have a slight increase in complaints of daytime sleepiness (ESS 6.92). According to several studies sleep quality can be affected by several factors, namely the working hours, corroborating the notion that night work has a negative impact on sleep and quality of life of health professionals.
