Sleep-Wake Cycles01:24

Sleep-Wake Cycles

1.2K
Sleep is an essential physiological process vital to maintaining overall well-being. The reticular activating system (RAS), a network of neurons in the brainstem, regulates wakefulness and sleep. While it may seem passive, sleep consists of distinct cycles, each with its unique characteristics and functions. Two key sleep phases are non-rapid eye movement (NREM) and  rapid eye movement (REM).
NREM Sleep
NREM sleep comprises four progressive stages that seamlessly merge:

Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...

Narcolepsy01:07

Narcolepsy

89
Narcolepsy is a chronic sleep disorder characterized by pervasive, uncontrolled sleepiness and other sleep disturbances. One of its hallmark symptoms is an abrupt transition to REM sleep upon falling asleep, which causes symptoms typically associated with this phase to occur unexpectedly during wakefulness. These include the following symptoms, which typically last from a minute or two to half an hour.

Substance Use Disorders Affecting Sleep01:24

Substance Use Disorders Affecting Sleep

158
Substance use disorders involve a pattern of using drugs more extensively than intended and continuing use despite harmful consequences. This includes legal substances like alcohol and nicotine, as well as illegal drugs. These disorders often involve both physical and psychological dependence, reflecting compulsive use of substances that significantly alter thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, contributing to a major public health issue.
Understanding the concepts of physical dependence,...

Insufficient Sleep and Sleep Deprivation01:13

Insufficient Sleep and Sleep Deprivation

132
Insufficient sleep refers to not getting the recommended amount of sleep for optimal functioning, even if it's just slightly less than needed. Sleep insufficiency may occur due to lifestyle choices, such as staying up late for social events or work, resulting in routinely getting less sleep than required. For example, consistently sleeping 6 hours when the body needs 7-9 hours can lead to cumulative effects on health and well-being.
Sleep deprivation is a more severe form of sleep loss...

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Research
  • Sleep Medicine
  • Occupational Health

Background:

  • Shift work is prevalent in nursing, often leading to sleep disturbances.
  • Shift Work Sleep Disorder (SWSD) presents unique challenges for healthcare professionals.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To comprehensively analyze the concept of Shift Work Sleep Disorder (SWSD) in nursing.
  • To inform future research and practical interventions for nurses experiencing SWSD.

Main Methods:

  • Employed Walker and Avant's concept analysis method.
  • Conducted a systematic literature review across multiple databases (PubMed, Embase, etc.).
  • Included studies defining SWSD, its attributes, antecedents, consequences, and assessment tools for nurses.

Main Results:

  • Identified key SWSD attributes: circadian rhythm imbalance, impaired sleep, health problems, and symptom variability.
  • Antecedents include personal health, lifestyle, family support, shift patterns, and work environment.
  • Consequences involve physiological and mental health issues, social adaptability challenges, and reduced nursing performance.

Conclusions:

  • SWSD significantly affects nurses' health and job performance.
  • Understanding SWSD's components is vital for targeted interventions.
  • Improving sleep hygiene, work environments, and shift schedules can mitigate SWSD's negative impacts.
