Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of symptoms of sleep related breathing disorders in shiftwork nurses and to evaluate relationship between occupational accident and the symptoms. Material and Method: Data of 410 nurses was evaluated. A questionnaire was administered to get information on their socio-demographic data, presence of witnessed apnea during sleep, the prevalence of snoring, excessive daytime sleepiness and frequency of other symptoms and having any occupational accident. Results: The prevalence of habitual snoring, witnessed apnea excessive daytime sleepiness was 5.4%, 22.4%, 47.1% respectively. Snoring (p<0.001) and witnessed apnea (p<0.001) prevalence was higher in overweight nurses. Mean values of the body mass index (p<0.001), neck circumflex (p=0.03), co-morbid disease (p<0.001) and the prevalence of witnessed apnea (p<0.001) among the nurses with habitual snoring were statistically higher than the nurses without habitual snoring. 51 nurses (12.4%) had been involved in an occupational accident. The prevalence of snoring (p=0.008) and mean Epworth Sleepiness Score (ESS) were higher than the group without accidents. The ESS was higher than 10 points in 63 (15.4%) of the interviews. In this group occupational accident prevalence was 4.1 times higher than the group with less than 10 points ESS. Conclusion: We come to the conclusion that interrogating the sleep related disorders symptoms in adults and also performing diagnostic procedures and treatment in case of suspicion may decrease the morbidity of sleep related breathing disorders.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada vardiyalı çalışan hemşirelerde uykuda solunum bozuklukları semptomların sıklığı ve iş kazaları ile arasındaki ilişkisi araştırıldı. Gereç ve Yöntem: Araştırmada 410 hemşirenin verileri değerlendirildi. Görüşülen kişilere uygulanan anketle sosyodemografik bilgileri, tanıklı apne olup olmadığı, horlayıp horlamadıkları gündüz aşırı uyku hali ve diğer semptomların sıklığı ile iş kazası yapıp yapmadıkları soruldu. Bulgular: Olgularda habitüel horlama prevalansı, tanıklı apne sıklığı, gündüz aşırı uyku hali sıklığı sırasıyla %5.4, %22.4 ve %47.1 olarak saptandı. Fazla kilolu olanlarda hemşirelerde horlama sıklığı (p<0.0001) ve tanıklı apne sıklığı (p<0.0001) daha yüksek bulundu. Habitüel horlaması olanlarda beden kitle indeksi BKİ (p<0.0001), boyun çevresi (p=0.03), ek hastalık (p=0.01) tanıklı apne sıklığı (p<0.0001) istatiksel olarak anlamlı oranda artmıştı. Olguların 51'i (%12.4) iş kazası geçirmişti. Horlama (p=0.008), Epworth skoru değerleri (p=0.001) iş kazası yapan grupta anlamlı olarak daha yüksekti. Katılımcıların 63'ünde (%15.4) Epworth Skoru 10'nun üzerinde saptandı. Bu grupta iş kazası riskinin Epworth Skoru< 10 olanlara göre 4.1 kat (2.06- 8.25) arttığı saptandı. Sonuç: Uykuya bağlı solunum semptomlarının sorgulanması ve şüpheli durumlarda tanısal inceleme ve tedavinin yapılması ile uyku ile ilişkili bozukluklara bağlı morbiditenin azalacağı kanısındayız.
