Abstract
Introduction: Sleep disorders in night staff are not well understood and their impact on daily life deserves to be researched. The objective was to study sleep disturbances among on-call staff at the HNID.
Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional prospective study of a period of 6 months from January 3 to June 30, 2020, involving 320 caregivers and using a self-administered anonymous questionnaire with on-call and on-call staff of the HNID.
Results: The frequency of sleep disturbances in our study was 52% (n = 320). The average age of the respondents was 29.43 ± 6.62 years, the most represented age group was 20 to 40 years (93.44%). There was a male predominance with 66% (210) with a sex ratio (M / F) of 1.91. Among our patients 97.5% lived in Conakry and 2.5% outside Conakry. Singles represented 67.81%. The overweight was 32.7%. the average length of rest days was 5.75 ± 2.04 days with a compensatory rest rate of 37%. %. In univariate analysis, a significant relationship was found between sleep disturbances and BMI (P = 0.03), lack of rest after care (P = 0.01), coffee consumption (P = 0.00) as well as the use of the computer in the evening (P = 0.00).
Conclusion: Sleep disorders, although very rarely mentioned, are a reality among HNID caregivers. The need to recruit staff to relieve services and sleep hygiene education would be a good track to improve working conditions.
