The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence and sequelae of insomnia, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and comorbid OSA and insomnia (COMISA).
In the morning, after a shift end, Midwest career firefighters ( N = 89) in a midsized city completed an electronic battery of questionnaire to screen for OSA, daytime sleepiness, insomnia, presleep arousal, nightmares, mental and physical health symptoms, and a one-night sleep diary.
Prevalence of firefighters exceeding screening thresholds: OSA: 54%; insomnia: 30%; COMISA: 17%; four or more nightmares per month: 15%. Firefighters who met criteria for COMISA had shorter total sleep time, less restful and worse sleep quality, higher depression and anxiety symptoms, and presleep arousal symptoms than firefighters without self-reported sleep problems.
Many firefighters are at elevated risk of individual behavioral sleep disorders, COMISA, and daytime dysfunction.
本研究旨在评估失眠、阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停(OSA)以及共病 OSA 和失眠(COMISA)的患病率和后遗症。
在一个中型城市,中西部职业消防员(N=89)在轮班结束后的早晨,通过电子问卷筛查 OSA、日间嗜睡、失眠、睡前觉醒、噩梦、精神和身体健康症状以及一夜睡眠日记。
消防员超过筛查阈值的患病率:OSA:54%;失眠:30%;COMISA:17%;每月出现四个或更多噩梦:15%。符合 COMISA 标准的消防员总睡眠时间更短,睡眠质量更差,睡眠更不安,抑郁和焦虑症状以及睡前觉醒症状更严重,而自我报告无睡眠问题的消防员则没有这些症状。
许多消防员存在个体行为性睡眠障碍、COMISA 和日间功能障碍的风险增加。
