Qualidade De Sono E Sua Associação Com Sintomas Psicológicos Em Atletas Adolescentes

Abstract

Objective: To verify the prevalence of poor sleep quality and its association with personal characteristics and symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress in amateur adolescent athletes. Methods: 309 adolescent athletes aged between 10 and 19 years were enrolled. Data collection included: a structured questionnaire, with personal information; the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI); and the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21). Results are described in mean and standard deviation (numeric variables) and absolute and relative frequencies (categorical variables). For the inferential analysis, Student’s t-test and chi-square test were performed, in addition to Poisson regression. Prevalence ratios (PR) were calculated in a 95% confidence interval (95%CI).Results: The mean age of participants was 14.1±2.1, being 13.8±2.0 and 15.0±2.1, respectively, for those with good and poor sleep quality. Poor sleep quality was recorded in 28.2% (n=87), depression in 26.9% (n=83) and anxiety/stress in 40.1% (n=124). Poor sleep quality was associated with ages between 15 and 19 years (PR 1.24; 95%CI 1.14-1.37), overweight (PR 1.12; 95%CI 1.01-1.24) and psychological symptoms of depression (PR 1.23; 95%CI 1.08-1.40) and anxiety/stress (PR 1.16; 95%CI 1.04-1.28). Conclusions: The presence of overweight and psychological symptoms and the age over 15 years were risk factors for increasing the likelihood of poor sleep quality in adolescent athletes.

Psychological Distress, Drug Use, and Internet Use: The Association with Poor Sleep Quality in a Sample of Secondary School Students

“…The rates of anxiety and depression among our participants are very high, as other reports from studies conducted among adolescents elsewhere. 23 , 35 Our study also revealed that the participants’ sleep quality was significantly associated with these health conditions, as in other studies. 10 , 11 The composite relationship between sleep and psychological disorder, such as anxiety and depression in adolescents, has attracted much attention over time.…”

“… 21 Similarly, the number of internet users and abusers among adolescents in Nigeria has continued to rise, 22 and the figure of adolescents suffering from psychological problems has equally increased. 23 In a locale where data is grossly insufficient, it is apt to fill in gaps in information by conducting studies of this nature, which may be useful for other researchers, clinicians, and policymakers. With the increasing concern about students’ mental health in recent years, it is, therefore, necessary to update the prevalence of PSQ among secondary school students, identify sociodemographic factors associated with it in this group, and to examine the independent associations of psychological distress, stimulant use, and internet use with PSQ.…”

Auriculoterapia no cuidado da ansiedade e depressão

“…It is added that anxiety is a complete emotion acting on the physical and mental aspect of the individual, which, depending on the intensity and frequency, may be pathological or not. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] It should be emphasized that the first choice treatment for anxiety and depression are psychoactive drugs and that, although this drug class causes severe side effects, its use is increasingly widespread, adopted in an early and indiscriminate way. Benzodiazepines -medication of the anxiolytic class -are the most prescribed drugs in the world, perhaps due to the growth of diagnoses of mental disorders in the population.…”

Comparação da qualidade de vida e sono de adolescentes portadores e não portadores de diabetes mellitus tipo 1

“…Chronological age can negatively interfere with the assessment of QOS. With advanced age, the hours of sleep tend to decrease, thus, poor self-perceived QOS can be seen 25,26 . The age of the participants in the control group was slightly higher than the participants with T1DM (Table 1), however, when correcting the analysis according to age, only the girls in the control group remained with QOS in lower class parameters.…”
