Association between insomnia and rheumatoid arthritis in elderly

Esse estudo objetivou avaliar sintomas de insonia em idosos residentes na comunidade e sua associacao com a artrite reumatoide. Estudo descritivo, de corte transversal, recorte do projeto multicentrico Fragilidade em Idosos Brasileiros . Foram avaliados 689 idosos (68,9% mulheres, media de idade 72,2 anos) utilizando-se questionario sociodemografico e sobre condicoes clinicas, questoes sobre sintomas de insonia (Perfil de Saude de Nottingham) e teste de rastreio para alteracoes cognitivas (Mini-exame do Estado Mental). Utilizou-se analise descritiva e analise de regressao logistica multipla, com nivel de significância de 5%. A associacao entre sintomas de insonia e artrite reumatoide manteve-se significativa na analise multivariada; outros fatores associados foram avaliacao subjetiva da saude muito ruim, nao ser aposentado e apresentar depressao. Os profissionais da area da saude devem investigar cuidadosamente a qualidade do sono noturno dos idosos acometidos por artrite reumatoide, dada sua elevada prevalencia nessa populacao.This study aimed to assess symptoms of insomnia in elderly residents in the community and its association with rheumatoid arthritis. Descriptive and cross-sectional study, part of a multicentre research project entitled Fragility in Brazilian elderly . A total number of 689 elderly (68.9% female, average age of 72.2 years) were interviewed using a questionnaire on sociodemographic data and clinical conditions. Two tools to identify symptoms of insomnia (the Nottingham Health profile) and to screen cognitive impairment (Mini Mental State Examination) were also applied. For data analysis, we used descriptive statistical techniques and multiple logistic regression, considering a 5% significance level. The association between insomnia symptoms and rheumatoid arthritis was found to be significant in the multivariate analysis; other associated factors were a very poor subjective evaluation of health, being retired, and the presence of depression. Health professionals should investigate carefully the sleep quality in elderly with rheumatoid arthritis, considering its high prevalence in this population.

Idosos institucionalizados: organização cronológica das rotinas diárias e qualidade do sono

Estudo descritivo, transversal, cujo objetivo foi identificar a percepcao de idosos institucionalizados quanto a organizacao cronologica das rotinas diarias e quanto a qualidade do sono. Participaram 37 individuos residentes em uma Instituicao de Longa Permanencia para Idosos pertencente ao municipio de Campinas-SP, sendo 14 mulheres e 23 homens, com media de idade de 75 anos. Verificou-se que 81% dos idosos apresentaram queixas compativeis com sono de ma qualidade, porem 70% deles informavam que tinham sono de boa qualidade, quando questionados diretamente a respeito. Todos os idosos perceberam adequadamente a organizacao cronologica de suas rotinas, porem essa percepcao pareceu nao contribuir para a boa qualidade do sono, visto que a maioria deles apresentou queixas compativeis com sono de ma qualidade. Torna-se evidente que os enfermeiros devem realizar avaliacao detalhada da qualidade do sono a fim de minimizar ou prevenir esses problemas e suas possiveis consequencias.This is a descriptive cross-sectional study, which aimed to identify the perception of nursing home elderly residents related to the chronological organization of their daily routines and to their sleep quality. The study was conducted with 37 elderly (14 women and 23 men, mean age of 75 years) who lived in a long term care facility located in the municipality of Campinas-SP, Brazil. The results showed that 81% of the elderlies had complaints compatible with poor sleep, but 70% of them reported that they had good sleep quality when directly questioned about it. All elderlies adequately realized the chronological organization of their routines, but this perception did not appear to contribute to the good sleep quality, as most of them had complaints compatible with poor sleep. It becomes evident that nurses should perform detailed assessment of sleep quality in order to minimize or prevent these problems and their possible consequences.

This study aimed to characterize the elderly who naps according to sociodemographic characteristics and frailty. A descriptive, cross-sectional study part of the multicenter project Frailty in the Elderly Brazilians. We evaluated 1,866 elderly people using a sociodemographic questionnaire. The frailty was assessed using the phenotype proposed by Fried. The data were analyzed with descriptive statistics. The results showed that the profile of the elderly who naps consists predominantly of women, married, retired, pre-frail, with an average age of 73 years, four years of study, with monthly family income of 3.9 minimum salary, with 4,4 children who were living with them only. The elderly reported napping on average 5.9 days per week, lasting 53.5 minutes per nap.
