“…Epidemiological studies done in the kingdom have reported a very high prevalence of poor sleep quality among the Saudi adult population [ 16 , 17 ]. In addition to a poor sleep quality among physicians with a prevalence of 50% or more [ 18 , 19 ]. COVID-19 has affected the mental wellbeing of health care workers that might have an impact on sleep quality [ 20 ].…”

Objectives To assess prevalence and related factors of sleep disturbances among Saudi physicians during COVID-19 pandemic. Data were collected through a questionnaire including items about demographic characters, knowledge about covid-19 and items to assess sleep quality that were extracted from Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) scale. Results Prevalence of sleep disorders was 43.9%, doctors in the age group of 31–40 years, associate consultants had a significant higher prevalence of sleep disorders. Medical interns and laboratory/pathology/microbiology doctors had a significant more difficulty in fall asleep during COVID-19, and internists and surgeons had a significant higher percent of those who used sleeping pills. Resident doctors had a significant higher percent of having trouble in staying awake, and residents and consultants had a significant higher percent of those who suffered decreased sleep duration. Sleep quality during COVID-19 was very good, fair good and very bad in 23.4%, 60% and 3.5% of HCW respectively. The study observed a negative impact of COVID-19 pandemic on HCW sleep quality. Hospitals administrations should provide optimal working hours with enough break and employ more doctors during the pandemic. Doctors experiencing sleep problems should have mandatory leaves.

“…Following previous studies (19,20), study quality was assessed using the Parker's instrument for epidemiological studies (21) which covers the following domains: the targeted population was defined clearly; complete, random or consecutive recruitment was used; response rate was equal or more than 70%; representativeness of sample was demonstrated or justified; defined diagnostic criteria was used; validated instruments for diagnosis was used. The total score ranged from 0 to 6, with higher scores indicating better study quality.…”

Background: Depressive symptoms are common in empty-nest elderly in China, but the reported prevalence rates across studies are mixed. This is a meta-analysis of the pooled prevalence of depressive symptoms (depression hereafter) in empty-nest elderly in China. Methods: Two investigators independently conducted a systematic literature search in both English (PubMed, EMBASE, PsycINFO, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library) and Chinese (CNKI and Wan Fang) databases. Data were analyzed using the Comprehensive Meta-Analysis program. Results: A total of 46 studies with 36,791 subjects were included. The pooled prevalence of depression was 38.6% (95%CI: 31.5-46.3%). Compared with non-empty-nest elderly, empty-nest elderly were more likely to suffer from depression (OR=2.0, 95%CI: 1.4 to 2.8, P<0.001). Subgroup and meta-regression analyses revealed that mild depression were more common in empty-nest elderly than moderate or severe depression (P<0.001). In addition, living alone (P=0.002), higher male proportion (b=0.04, P<0.001), later year of publication (b=0.09, P<0.001) and higher study quality score (b=0.62, P<0.001) were significantly associated with higher prevalence of depression. Conclusion: In this meta-analysis, the prevalence of depression in empty-nest elderly was high in China. Considering the negative impact of depression on health outcomes and well-being, regular screening and appropriate interventions need to be delivered for this vulnerable segment of the population.

“…Some studies have evaluated sleep quality and its relationship to cognitive factors among healthcare workers, in particular nurses. According to the findings of a recent meta-analysis [ 1 ] examining the pooled prevalence of sleep quality across fifty-three studies, poor sleep quality was a very common feature and was reported in 61.0% of nursing staff. This was characterized by alterations of sleep parameters such as sleep latency, duration, and sleep efficiency (SE), subjective sleep quality, and daytime dysfunctions.…”

“…This was characterized by alterations of sleep parameters such as sleep latency, duration, and sleep efficiency (SE), subjective sleep quality, and daytime dysfunctions. Moreover, subgroup and meta-regression analyses found that Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) cutoff values, mean age, body mass index, sample size, study quality, and work experience impacted the prevalence of poor sleep quality [ 1 ]. These authors concluded that effective measures should be taken to improve poor sleep quality in this critical population given its negative impact on health.…”

Purpose of the review There is evidence that, before the coronavirus pandemic 2019 (COVID-19), healthcare workers did not experience good sleep quality with relevant consequences on health. By contrast, little is known about the sleep quality of medical staff during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this review, we aimed to contribute with a review of the literature, sharing our clinical experience supported by actigraphic evaluation and by proposing future strategies. Recent findings Sleep disorders, in particular insomnia, have been commonly reported in frontline medical workers, in hospitals during the COVID-19 pandemic and are often accompanied by depressive and anxiety symptoms. Sleep quality, however, has been mainly assessed by the use of self-reported measures, thus limiting clinical usefulness. Summary Poor sleep quality among the medical staff is prevalent, and our experience supports that this has increased during the COVID-19 pandemic. A longitudinal investigation assessing whether and for how long sleep remains altered in medical staff could be of interest to evaluate the temporal effect of the pandemic on health.
