A random sample survey was conducted to determine the prevalence of migraine in nurses and to study its effect on quality of life and productivity. Of the 10,000 nurses sampled, 2949 returned the questionnaire for a response rate of 29.5% The majority (99%) of respondents were employed and worked in hospitals (60%). According to the International Headache Society (IHS) criteria, 17% of the sample (n=495) were classified as having migraine. An additional 25% (n = 750) suffered severe headaches but did not meet IHS criteria for migraine, and the remaining 58% (n = 1704) were classified as not having either migraine or severe headaches. The migraineurs had significantly reduced work productivity and quality of life compared to both the severe headache and the nonmigraine nonsevere headache groups. This study will increase awareness and sensitivity of the profession to its colleagues who are migraine sufferers.
进行了一项随机抽样调查,以确定护士中偏头痛的患病率,并研究其对生活质量和工作效率的影响。在抽取的10000名护士中,2949人返回了问卷,回复率为29.5%。大多数(99%)受访者受雇于医院工作(60%)。根据国际头痛协会(IHS)的标准,样本中的17%(n = 495)被归类为患有偏头痛。另外25%(n = 750)患有严重头痛,但不符合IHS偏头痛标准,其余58%(n = 1704)被归类为既没有偏头痛也没有严重头痛。与严重头痛组和非偏头痛非严重头痛组相比,偏头痛患者的工作效率和生活质量显著降低。这项研究将提高该行业对偏头痛同事的认识和敏感度。
