Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a health problem that can cause various negative impacts on health, but society considers OSA to be normal. This research aims to determine how the patient's perception and efforts reduce OSA risk. A qualitative study with a phenomenological approach was conducted. Inclusion criteria were experiencing OSA symptoms such as snoring, sleepiness during the day, and often waking up at night. Purposive and snowball sampling techniques took seven participants who met these criteria. Data were collected through interviews, Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), and the STOP-BANG questionnaire (SBQ). The method and time triangulation were used in this study. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis from the Colaizzi approach. Based on the SBQ, all participants have a high risk of OSA but perceived it as a normal complaint. Three themes were found in this study: participants perceive OSA as a usual complaint, perceive that OSA does not endanger health, and do not take action to reduce OSA. It is hoped that this study's results can increase nurses' awareness to provide education about sleep problems to the community because sleep problems have not received much attention in Indonesia
Aim: Nutrition plays a role as a provider of energy for the human body which is important for the formation and maintenance, especially to improve the quality of sleep seen from the production of the hormone melatonin. The purpose of this study was to determine the interaction of nutrition on sleep quality: the focus synthesis of melatonin.
Design: We performed a literature review study by reviewing 6 international journals related to the interaction of nutrition and sleep quality: focused on melatonin synthesis.
Methods: Data collection was done by searching for data-based articles or journals published through the Willey Online Library, PMC, Proquest, and Pubmed. The data were analyzed by descriptive analysis and the journals were assessed using JBI.
Results: The interaction of nutrition and sleep quality is seen from the hormone melatonin, based on the results of 6 journals. The results were described that the relationship between macronutrient and micronutrient nutrition on melatonin production that affects human sleep quality.
Conclusions: Macronutrients and micronutrients are related to sleep quality in increasing the production of the hormone melatonin.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
