“…The current study's findings on the adverse effect of IA on the sleep quality of medical students in current research are comparable to research carried out in India and China [29]. Research performed on university students in Taiwan illustrated that the quality of sleep who were addicted to the Internet slept 1.4 times worse than students who were not addicted to the Internet [30].…”

Background Internet addiction (IA) is a growing issue with multiple impacts on psychological functions, including sleep. Consequently, the present study aimed to assess the correlation between IA as well as the quality of sleep among medical students. A total of 525 students from Sohag University were included in the study. Young Internet Addiction Test (YIAT) was utilized in order to evaluate IA. Demographic information, university-related factors, and Internet usage patterns of the participants were documented. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index was utilized so as to evaluate the quality of sleep. Results The prevalence of IA was 4.95% for severe addiction and 39.62% for moderate addiction. About 81.62% of subjects who suffer from IA significantly had poor quality of sleep. Young age, male gender, low academic performance, computer presence at home, Internet presence at home, using the Internet for chatting and gaming, and poor sleep quality are strong predictors of Internet addiction. Conclusions The prevalence of IA and its impact on the quality of sleep have been found to be substantial among medical students. There is a need for programs to raise awareness towards IA as well as its impact on sleep among university medical students.

“…This finding agrees with studies in India (40), Brazil (69), Chile (23), and Egypt (5) performed among light engineering maintenance personnel, patients, and teachers, where all eight components had a significant relation with the presence of WMSD-affected sites. In addition, the findings of the present study were also supported by similar studies conducted in Brazil (70), Turkey (71), and Saudi Arabia (39) among dockworkers, teachers, and cashiers, respectively, in which the mean scores of 5 and more of the 8 functioning scales for individuals with WMSDs were detrimentally lower compared with their non-WMSD counterparts.…”

IntroductionWork-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) are considered major public health problems globally, deteriorating the quality of life of workers in various occupations. Kitchen work is reported as among the occupations most prone to these maladies. Nevertheless, prevalence of WMSDs, contributing factors, and impacts on the quality of life of hospitality industry kitchen workers are insufficiently documented in Ethiopia. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the prevalence of WMSDs, their associated factors, and impact on the quality of life of hospitality industry kitchen workers in Bahir Dar city, Ethiopia.MethodsAn institution-based, cross-sectional study was conducted from 17 April to 17 May 2023. A total of 422 participants were included using a simple random sampling technique. WMSDs were evaluated using an interviewer-administered Nordic standardized questionnaire. The short form-36 questionnaire was used to assess quality of life. The data were collected using the Kobo tool box. SPSS version 26 software was used to perform both bivariable and multivariable binary logistic regression analyses. Independent t-tests were used to show the impact of WMSDs on quality of life scales across groups with and without WMSD symptoms.ResultIn this study, the response rate was 98.34% (n = 415). The 1-year prevalence of WMSDs among kitchen workers was 82.7% [95% CI: (79.1, 86.3)]. Age group between 30 and 39 years [AOR: 2.81; 95% CI: (1.46–5.41)], job dissatisfaction [AOR: 2.45; 95% CI: (1.34–4.45)], anxiety [AOR: 2.26; 95% CI: (1.12–4.52)], prolonged standing [AOR: 3.81; 95% CI: (1.58–9.17)], and arm overreaching [AOR: 2.43; 95% CI: (1.34–4.41)] were significantly associated factors with work-related musculoskeletal disorders. Work-related musculoskeletal disorders had a significant impact on all quality of life dimensions, in which the mean SF-36 scores of participants with WMSDs were lower than those of their non-WMSD counterparts.ConclusionThis study revealed that the prevalence of WMSDs was relatively high. Age between 30 and 39 years, job dissatisfaction, anxiety, prolonged standing, and arm overreaching were identified as significant determinants of WMSDs among kitchen workers in hospitality industries. The presence of one or multiple WMSDs, in turn, is associated with worse quality of life dimensions of individuals.
