          Abstract

          El objetivo de la presente investigación es determinar la relación que existe entre calidad de vida profesional y sueño en un grupo de estudiantes de posgrado de Ciencias de la Salud, mediante un diseño correlacional, en una muestra conformada por 198 participantes. Los instrumentos utilizados fueron la Escala de Calidad de Vida Profesional CVP-35 de Cabezas (1998) y un cuestionario de sueño y reposo diseñado para el presente estudio. Se encontró correlación entre calidad de vida profesional y sueño en el grupo de edad de 31 a 40 años (0.26). Es probable que este grupo valore el sueño como aspecto importante para su calidad de vida profesional, lo cual podría estar influyendo en su desempeño laboral.

          The aim this study is to determine the relationship between quality of professional life and sleep in a group of students of Health Sciences Grad School, using a correlational design, in a sample of 198 participants. The measurement instruments used were the Scale of Quality of Professional Life - CVP-35 by Cabezas (1998) and a Sleep and Rest Questionnaire designed for this study. A correlation was found between quality of professional life and sleep and rest in the 31-40 years age group (P=.26). It is probable that this group values sleep as an important aspect for their quality of professional life, which could influence their work performance.

          Comorbidity of insomnia and depression.

          Luc Staner (2010)
          During the last decade, several studies have shown that insomnia, rather than a symptom of depression, could be a medical condition on its own, showing high comorbidity with depression. Epidemiological research indicates that insomnia could lead to depression and/or that common causalities underlie the two disorders. Neurobiological and sleep EEG studies suggest that a heightened level of arousal may play a common role in both conditions and that signs of REM sleep disinhibition may appear in individuals prone to depression. The effects of antidepressant drugs on non-REM and REM sleep are discussed in relation to their use in insomnia comorbid with depression. Empirical treatment approaches are behavioral management of sleep combined with prescription of a sedative antidepressant alone, co-prescription of two antidepressants, or of an antidepressant with a hypnotic drug.

            Economic effects of insomnia.

            M Stoller (2015)
            Insomnia affects up to 40% of the general population yearly and is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. The direct and indirect costs of insomnia place a tremendous economic burden on society and employers. In addition to the cost of medical treatment and drugs, measurable costs of insomnia include reduced productivity, increased absenteeism, accidents, and hospitalization, as well as medical costs due to increased morbidity and mortality, depression due to insomnia, and increased alcohol consumption. This article reviews the literature on the economic costs and effects associated with insomnia. Based on the data reviewed, a conservative estimate of the total annual cost of insomnia was calculated at $92.5 to $107.5 billion. Early recognition and treatment of insomnia can reduce the costs associated with the condition, as well as possibly prevent other illnesses.

              Self-assessed quality of sleep, occupational health, working environment, illness experience and job satisfaction of female nurses working different combination of shifts.

              The aim of this study was to describe and compare the self-assessed quality of sleep, occupational health, working environment, illness experience and job satisfaction among female nurses working different combinations of shifts. Evidence from several studies indicates that there is an association between the disruption of the circadian cycle caused by shift work and adverse health effects. A cross-sectional design was used with a sample of 348 nurses drawn from the registry of the Icelandic Nurses' Association, representing 17% of the workforce of Icelandic nurses. A self-administered questionnaire, measuring occupational health, quality of sleep, the illness experience, job satisfaction and working environment was used. Data were analysed according to type of shift (days only, rotating days/evenings, rotating days/evenings/nights) by use of analysis of variance and chi-square. No difference was found between participants based on type of shift with regard to the illness experience, job satisfaction and quality of sleep. Nurses working rotating day/evening/night shifts reported a longer working day, more stressful environmental risk factors, more strenuous work and that they were less able to control their work-pace. In general, the nurses reported low severity of symptoms; however, nurses working rotating days/evenings shifts experienced more severe gastrointestinal and musculoskeletal symptoms when compared with others. This was explained by the short rest period provided for between evening and morning shifts. In general Icelandic nurses are satisfied with their work and their shift assignment does not seem to pathologically disrupt their circadian cycle. Nevertheless, nursing directors are advised to look more closely at the organization of nurses' work during night shifts, as well as the rest period for nurses changing from evening to day shifts.
