“…The AIS consists of an 8-item standardized self-assessment psychometric instrument designed for quantifying sleep difficulty. The AIS assesses difficulty with sleep induction, awakening during the night, early morning awakening, total sleep time, and overall quality of sleep; as well as next-day consequences of insomnia, including problems with sense of well-being, functioning, and sleepiness during the day [11]. Each item of the AIS is rated from 0 to 3, and patients with a score of 6 or higher are diagnosed with insomnia [12].…”

Abstract:The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between recurrent nightmare and indefinite complaints and to determine the explanatory variables of indefinite complaints related to nightmares in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Sleep quality and dream anxiety in nightmare were assessed with the Athens Insomnia Scale and Van Dream Anxiety Scale. Using a visual analog scale and the Beck Depression Inventory, we assessed the presence of indefinite complaints and levels of depressive symptoms, respectively. Moreover, logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the risk factors of dream anxiety in recurrent nightmare. The presence of feelings of malaise was an independent risk factor of recurrent nightmare (OR, 1.360; p = 0.0083). Adjustment for the presence of feelings of malaise could help to reduce the frequency of nightmares or sleep disorders in patients undergoing HD treatment. Our findings will be useful when considering adjustment of the HD dose.

“…Léteznek magyarra adaptált alvásminőséget, insomniát mérő skálák, például a Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index [11], Athens Insomnia Scale [12], Epworth Sleepiness Scale [13,14], Groningen Sleep Quality Scale [15]. Ezek azonban nem különböztetik meg a tünetek előfordulását műszakok, illetve pihenőnapok szerint, így kevésbé alkalmasak a váltott műszakkal összefüggésbe hozható alvás-problémák feltárására, mint a BSWSQ.…”

Váltott műszakban dolgozó ápolók alvásminőségének vizsgálata a magyar nyelvre adaptált Bergen Shift Work Sleep Questionnaire alkalmazásával

Bevezetés: A váltott műszakban dolgozóknál gyakori probléma a megzavart diurnalis ritmus következtében kialakuló alvászavar. A Bergen Shift Work Sleep Questionnaire az alvásminőséget és hatásait vizsgálja különböző műszakok és szabadnapok esetén. Célkitűzés: A tanulmány célja e kérdőív magyar változatának kidolgozása, és alkalmazásával a különböző munkarendben dolgozó ápolók alvásminőségének összehasonlítása. Módszer: A kérdőívet 326, váltott műszakban dolgozó ápoló töltötte ki. A kérdőív konvergens és diszkrimináns validálása az Athéni Insomnia Skála és Észlelt Stressz Kérdőív segítségével történt. Eredmények: A kérdőív pszichometriai jellemzői alapján magyar mintán is alkalmas a váltott műszakkal összefüggő alvászavarok vizsgálatára. A diszkrét tünetek gyakorisága szignifi kánsan (p<0,001) eltért a műszakok szerint. A legrosszabb alvásminőséget és nappali fáradtságot az éjszakai műszakot köve-tően tapasztalták. A több műszakos, szabálytalan munkarendben dolgozók alvásminősége rosszabb, mint a szabályos és fl exibilis munkarendben dolgozóké (p<0,001). Következtetések: A váltott műszakos ápolók alvásproblémáit a kidolgozott kérdőívvel célszerű országosan, reprezentatív mintán is megvizsgálni, és az eredmények alapján a legkevésbé megterhelő munkarendeket kialakítani.

Hetil., 2015, 156(49), 2003-2009 Kulcsszavak: cirkadián ritmus, váltott műszak, éjjeli műszak, aluszékonyság, munkabeosztás Sleep quality of nurses working in shifts -Hungarian adaptation of the Bergen Shift Work Sleep QuestionnaireIntroduction: Sleep disorders among shift workers are common problems due to the disturbed circadian rhythm. The Bergen Shift Work Sleep Questionnaire assesses discrete sleep problems related to work shifts (day, evening and night shifts) and rest days. Aim: The aim of the study was to develop the Hungarian version of this questionnaire and to compare the sleep quality of nurses in different work schedules. Method: 326 nurses working in shifts fi lled in the questionnaire. The authors made convergent and discriminant validation of the questionnaire with the Athens Insomnia Scale and the Perceived Stress Questionnaire. Results: The questionnaire based on psychometric characteristics was suitable to assess sleep disorders associated with shift work in a Hungarian sample. The frequency of discrete symptoms signifi cantly (p<0.001) differed with the shifts. Nurses experienced the worst sleep quality and daytime fatigue after the night shift. Nurses working in irregular shift system had worse sleep quality than nurses working in regular and fl exible shift system (p<0.001). Conclusions: The sleep disorder of nurses working in shifts should be assessed with the Hungarian version of the Bergen Shift Work Sleep Questionnaire on a nationally representative sample, and the least burdensome shift system could be established.

“…The primary outcome measure was the duration of retention in the study. Secondary outcome variables included the following self-reported questionnaires: the 16-item Amphetamine Cessation Symptoms Assessment (ACSA), a methamphetamine withdrawal scale [34]; the five-item Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS-5) [35]; the Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI) subscale BSI-GSI, a measure of psychiatric morbidity [36]; the Depression -Anxiety -Stress Scale (DASS) total score, DASS -depression, DASS -anxiety and DASS -stress subscores [37], the Severity of Dependence Scale (SDS) for amphetamines [38]; and the Opiate Treatment Index drug use subscale (OTI drug use, calculated as Q-scores, which indicates the average number of drug use occasions during the past month [39]). In each case, a higher score indicates greater severity.…”

Introduction and Aims. As an antidepressant with sedative and anxiolytic properties, mirtazapine may be an appropriate pharmacotherapy for methamphetamine withdrawal. This study sought to examine whether mirtazapine improves retention and alleviates methamphetamine withdrawal symptoms in an out-patient setting. Design and Methods. An out-patient double-blind, randomised placebo-controlled trial of mirtazapine for the treatment of methamphetamine withdrawal was conducted (15 mg nocte for 2 days, 30 mg nocte for 12 days). Both groups were offered narrative therapy counselling. Measures recorded on days 0, 3, 7, 14 and 35 included: treatment retention, Amphetamine Cessation Symptoms Assessment, the Athens Insomnia Scale, the Brief Symptom Inventory, the Depression -Anxiety -Stress Scale (DASS), Severity of Dependence scale and the Opiate Treatment Index Drug Use subscale. Results. Thirty-one participants were recruited (18 placebo, 13 mirtazapine) and 52% completed the 2-week medication phase. No significant differences between the mirtazapine and placebo groups in retention, or any symptom measure were observed, except greater DASS -anxiety and longer sleep duration were measured at baseline among the mirtazapine group. Discussion and Conclusions. Results suggest that mirtazapine does not facilitate retention or recruitment in out-patient methamphetamine withdrawal treatment, although recruitment may have been insufficient to identify a significant treatment effect. The potential role of narrative therapy for methamphetamine dependent patients deserves further exploration. [Cruikshank CC, Montebello ME, Dyer KR, Quigley A, Blaszczyk J, Tomkins S, Shand D.
