Management of Insomnia01:19

Management of Insomnia

The sleep cycle, an integral part of human health, consists of several stages with distinct characteristics and functions. It begins with a transition from wakefulness to sleep, known as the light sleep phase, followed by the restorative deep sleep phase, essential for physical recovery and growth. The cycle concludes with the Rapid Eye Movement (REM) phase, characterized by high brain activity and vivid dreaming. Insomnia, a prevalent sleep disorder, involves difficulty falling asleep, staying...
Substance Use Disorders Affecting Sleep01:24

Substance Use Disorders Affecting Sleep

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,...
Nightmares and Night Terrors01:18

Nightmares and Night Terrors

Nightmares and night terrors represent two distinct types of sleep disturbances that differ in timing, characteristics, and the sleeper's recall of the event. Nightmares are vivid, disturbing dreams that usually awaken the sleeper from REM sleep, a stage of sleep where brain activity is high, and dreams are most frequent. Upon awakening, individuals often have detailed recollections of their nightmares, which can include themes of threats to survival, security, or self-esteem.
Nightmares often...

Sleep-Wake Cycles01:24

Sleep-Wake Cycles

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:
Current Trends in Nursing II01:30

Current Trends in Nursing II

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,...

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Research
  • Sleep Science
  • Occupational Health

Background:

  • Sleep-related worry significantly impacts sleep quality.
  • Prevalence and factors associated with sleep worry in clinical nurses remain underexplored.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the prevalence and correlates of sleep worry among clinical nurses.
  • To inform the development of targeted interventions for sleep worry.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional study involving 285 clinical nurses in China.
  • Utilized a validated sleep worry scale for assessment.
  • Employed correlational and multiple linear regression analyses.

Main Results:

  • 64% of nurses reported sleep worry, with a mean scale score of 32.14.
  • Sleep worry was significantly associated with age, department, title, experience, and night shifts.
  • Age, department, title, experience, and night shifts were identified as key influencing factors.

Conclusions:

  • High sleep worry prevalence necessitates targeted interventions for clinical nurses.
  • Identified factors provide a basis for developing effective strategies to mitigate sleep worry.
  • Interventions can enhance nurse well-being and job performance.
