“…Our findings were similar to that reported in Handbook of counseling women (12) in which among the participants of the study 63% had sleep troubles, however, our result was inconsistent with a study done among employees of the City of Helsinki (13) that reported the prevalence of sleep complaints was 24% among women and 20% among men aged 40-60 years.…”

Background: Sufficient sleep is necessary for optimal human health. Short-term sleep deprivation can negatively affect individuals' alertness, mood, attention and concentration; long-term sleep deprivation is associated with chronic diseases and mortality. Aim of study: Measuring sleep quantity, assessing sleep quality and determining risk factors of sleep disturbance among Minia University hospitals' workers.Subjects and methods: This study is a cross sectional study conducted for identification of sleep disorders among 311 Minia University hospitals' workers; (104 doctors, 104 nurses and 103 clerks), using a selfadministered questionnaire which included demographic characteristics, assessment of sleep, family work conflict (FWC) and emotional exhaustion. Results: Sleep score ranged between (0-16) with mean value of (3.9 ± 4.01), (92%) of the studied workers had a little frequency of sleep disturbance and (8%) had a high frequency of sleep disturbance, Sleep score was higher among doctors (6.08) than among nurses (3.7) and Clerks (1.9) with statistically significant difference. FWC score (10-25) with mean (16.4 ± 2.5), Emotional exhaustion score (0-53) with mean (17.4 ± 16.9). Odds ratio for night shift work, high FWC score and high emotional exhaustion score (5.227, 1.450 and 1.083) respectively and all were statistically significant. Conclusion and recommendations: Minia University Hospitals' doctors and nurses suffered from high sleep score more than Minia University hospitals' clerks and it can be a source of stress and mental pressure for them and their families. Night shift work had a major effect on sleep disturbance. Hospitals authorities and policymakers can plan and implement measures such as reducing the duration of shift-work schedules and execution of regular time management courses.

Mothers face enormous mental health challenges that need to be addressed by counsellors. Women have higher rates of depression, anxiety, and stress due to environmental, cultural, and biological factors. Findings from a sample of 525 US mothers showed that younger mothers had higher levels of stress, anxiety, and depression, while mothers with lower incomes showed higher levels of anxiety and depression. Results also indicated that fewer mothers have levels of stress, anxiety, and depression that fall into a normal range than a normal, non-clinical population and that substantially more mothers report extremely severe levels of stress, anxiety, and depression than normal, non-mother populations. Implications for counsellors include making services accessible to low-income mothers, attending to personal gender bias, and assessing clients for anxiety, depression, and stress.
