ROMERO PAREDES, Mª del Carmen; REINOSO BARBERO, Luis; GONZALEZ GOMEZ, Mª Fernanda y BANDRES MOYA, Fernando. Study on sleep in a group of seafareres using the "cuestionario del sueño de Oviedo". Rev Asoc Esp Espec Med Trab [online]. 2017, vol.26, n.2, pp.110-120. Epub 12-Feb-2024. ISSN 3020-1160.
Objective:
To study the presence of sleep disorders in a group of seafarers.
Method:
To asses sleep disorders, we used the questionnaire “Cuestionario de Oviedo del Sueño” during pre-embarkation medical checkup in 2011 (n=321) and their distribution by sex, age, working place, vessel’s activity and where they actually sleep. These results were also compared to some metabolic parameters of the same individuals.
Results:
More tan 90% of the subjects referred high self-reported satisfaction on their sleep, low insomnia and light hipersomnia (more prevalente among older group, p<0,05). 2,8% of them needed help to sleep two or more nights a week. Additional sleep problems appeared two or more nights per week in 56,4% of them (higher prevalence in males, p<0,05). Of the studied metabolic parameters, Body Mass Index appeared over normal range in patients with stronger sleep disorders.
Conclusions:
In the population studied, we found a low prevalence of sleep disorders.
