Sleep Apnea01:21

Sleep Apnea

225
Sleep apnea is a condition where breathing stops intermittently during sleep, often leading to significant health issues. Each episode can last from 10 to 20 seconds or more and is frequently accompanied by a brief arousal from sleep. This disturbance, largely unnoticed by the individual, can lead to severe daytime fatigue. Commonly, individuals seek help after being informed by their partners about loud snoring and noticeable breathing pauses during sleep.
The condition is more prevalent among...

Self-Discrepancy Theory02:45

Self-Discrepancy Theory

18.5K
One influential perspective on what motivates people's behavior is detailed in Tory Higgin's self-discrepancy theory (Higgins, 1987). He proposed that people hold disagreeing internal representations of themselves that lead to different emotional states.

Cognitive Dissonance01:38

Cognitive Dissonance

33.7K
Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Sleep-Wake Cycles01:24

Sleep-Wake Cycles

1.6K
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:

Substance Use Disorders Affecting Sleep01:24

Substance Use Disorders Affecting Sleep

225
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

224
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:

  • Dental Sleep Medicine
  • Medical Education
  • Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Background:

  • Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a growing public health concern.
  • Dental professionals play a role in identifying and managing OSA patients.
  • Current dental curricula may not adequately address sleep medicine.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess knowledge and attitudes towards OSA among dental faculty and students.
  • To determine the need for a dental sleep medicine curriculum.

Main Methods:

  • Administered the OSA Knowledge and Attitude survey to dental students and faculty.
  • Used descriptive statistics to compare knowledge scores between groups.
  • Employed correlation tests to examine relationships between knowledge and attitudes.

Main Results:

  • No significant difference in OSA knowledge scores between dental students and faculty.
  • Both groups considered OSA identification important.
  • Low confidence in managing OSA and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) patients was reported.

Conclusions:

  • Dental faculty and students demonstrate limited knowledge and confidence in OSA management.
  • There is a clear need to integrate sleep medicine into dental education.
  • Enhanced faculty training in sleep medicine is recommended.
