“…Further, stress, sleep, recovery and excessive worry seem to have a bidirectional relationship. Stress has been negatively related to impaired sleep and recovery (Maghout Juratli et al, 2011;Van Laethem et al, 2015). Excessive worry, and work-related rumination seems to impede recovery and sleep quality by prolonging the effect of stressors, and thereby increase the risk of exhaustion and fatigue (Querstret et al, 2017;Vandevala et al, 2017).…”

Gerhard Andersson, my main supervisor. We first met at Uppsala university in 1999-2000, when I was a student looking for a scientific project in psychology. From that day on, you have always shown such kindness and openness to new ideas. Your supervision has been very wise and gentle, pushing me when I need to, and generously and trustfully letting me explore and grow as a researcher. And thank you for all the laughs and mischievous pranks (mixing up signs, titles, roles, mugs etcetera). To my delight, I have also noticed that you have picked up some recovery activities during these years.Brjánn Ljótsson, my co-supervisor. I am very grateful for all your valuable support and encouragement during these years. You have really inspired me in testing and applying various statistical methods. And thank you for sharing your experiences and knowledge on becoming a PhD.George Vlaescu (a.k.a. G or Speedy), IT-System developer. Thank you for your quick, invaluable and sometimes crucial support regarding the IT-platform iterapy. Without your quick and methodical work, this research would not have been possible.Per Carlbring, professor and fellow grant applicant. Thank you for your enthusiastic, and super quick responses, and for your helpful and thorough comments on our studies.Master level psychology students and psychotherapy students. Without your commitment and hard work, this would never have been possible. I have enjoyed reading all the comments from grateful participants regarding the importance of your guidance in their treatment. Study I,

“…[44][45][46] The participant was asked to respond to 'how is your energy level right now' on a scale ranging from a low of 0 to a high of 10. Self-reported stress levels were determined both preshift and postshift with a single validated item where participants responded to 'how stressed are you right now' on a 0 (not at all) to 10 (very stressed) scale.…”

Examining self-reported and biological stress and near misses among Emergency Medicine residents: a single-centre cross-sectional assessment in the USA

ObjectivesTo examine the relationship between perceived and biological stress and near misses among Emergency Medicine residents.DesignSelf-rated stress and stress biomarkers were assessed in residents in Emergency Medicine before and after a day shift. The supervising physicians and residents reported numbers of near misses.SettingThe study took place in the Emergency Department of a large trauma 1 centre, located in Detroit, USA.ParticipantsResidents in Emergency Medicine volunteered to participate. The sample consisted of 32 residents, with complete data on 28 subjects. Residents’ supervising physicians assessed the clinical performance of each resident.Primary and secondary outcome measuresParticipants’ preshift and postshift stress, biological stress (salivary cortisol, plasma interleukin-6, tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein), residents’ and supervisors’ reports of near misses, number of critically ill and patients with trauma seen during the shift.ResultsResidents’ self-reported stress increased from an average preshift level of 2.79 of 10 (SD 1.81) to a postshift level of 5.82 (2.13) (p<0.001). Residents cared for an average of 2.32 (1.52) critically ill patients and 0.68 (1.06) patients with trauma. Residents reported a total of 7 near misses, compared with 11 reported by the supervising physicians. After controlling for baseline work-related exhaustion, residents that cared for more patients with trauma and had higher levels of TNF-α reported a higher frequency of near misses (R2=0.72; p=0.001). Residents’ preshift ratings of how stressful they expected the shift to be were related to the supervising physicians’ ratings of residents’ near misses during the shift.ConclusionResidents’ own ratings of near misses were associated with residents’ TNF-α, a biomarker of systemic inflammation and the number of patients with trauma seen during the shift. In contrast, supervisor reports on residents’ near misses were related only to the residents’ preshift expectations of how stressful the shift would be.

Gaming has increasingly become a part of life in Africa. currently, no data on gaming disorders or their association with mental disorders exist for African countries. This study for the first time investigated (1) the prevalence of insomnia, excessive daytime sleepiness, anxiety and depression among African gamers, (2) the association between these conditions and gamer types (i.e., non-problematic, engaged, problematic and addicted) and (3) the predictive power of socioeconomic markers (education, age, income, marital status, employment status) on these conditions. 10,566 people from 2 low-(Rwanda, Gabon), 6 lower-middle (Cameroon, Nigeria, Morocco, Tunisia, Senegal, Ivory Coast) and 1 upper-middle income countries (South Africa) completed online questionnaires containing validated measures on insomnia, sleepiness, anxiety, depression and gaming addiction. Results showed our sample of gamers (24 ± 2.8 yrs; 88.64% Male), 30% were addicted, 30% were problematic, 8% were engaged and 32% were non-problematic. Gaming significantly contributed to 86.9% of the variance in insomnia, 82.7% of the variance in daytime sleepiness and 82.3% of the variance in anxiety [p < 0.001]. This study establishes the prevalence of gaming, mood and sleep disorders, in a large African sample. Our results corroborate previous studies, reporting problematic and addicted gamers show poorer health outcomes compared with non-problematic gamers. With the popularity of consoles, such as the PlayStation and the X-box, and the possibility to use various applications on smartphones and tablets due to easy access to Wi-Fi and mobile data, gaming has become a part of life in Africa, similarly to Europe and North America. Recently, some reports estimated that African countries such as Nigeria have over 146,866,356 active mobile phone lines, with mobile users interested in available online entertainment content (BBC 2016), which may negatively impact on users' health in some cases 1,2. It was also suggested by Wittek et al. 3 , when assessing prevalence rates and predictors of video game addiction in a multicultural sample including native Norwegians and immigrants, that the geographical region where an individual is born may play an important role in addictive behavior. They reported there were more addicted gamers who originated from African, Asian and central American countries compared with gamers born in Europe and North America. Prevalence of gaming disorders was reported in Europe, Asia and North America 3-9 ; while no data exist for prevalence in African countries as well as their association with sleep and mood disorders.
