Introduction:Patients with coronary diseases admitted to special care unit often suffer from sleep disorders, which may cause physiological changes and adversely affect patient’s health. The relationship between sleep disorders and obesity is an important factor in studies on sleep disorders and other chronic diseases in all groups, including cardiovascular diseases. Understanding this relationship may increase the chance of progress in effective medical interventions in sleep disorders and obesity. This study was designed to evaluate the association between short sleep and Body Mass Index (BMI), hypertension among acute coronary syndrome patients.Materials and Methods:In this descriptive analytical study, 221 coronary patients admitted to coronary care unit and general wards were investigated. Data were collected through a researcher-made questionnaire whose validity and reliability had been confirmed. Data were analyzed with SPSS-16 software.Results:A total of 221 patients with acute coronary diseases (including myocardial infarction and angina pectoris) with a mean age of 61.27 years were studied, of whom 61.5% were male and 38.5% were female. A significant association was observed between short sleep and higher BMI (P=0.000). About half the patients (49.3%) had a history of hypertension, and sleep disorders were also significantly related to hypertension (P=0.006).Discussion:In this study, sleep disorders were patients’ main complaint. Researchers found that patients with less than 5 hours or more than 9 hours sleep at night were more likely to have hypertension compared to patients that slept 7-8 hours. Lack of sleep affects metabolism, and daily energy expenditure reduces with increased immobility. In this study, a significant relationship was observed between BMI and sleep duration among hospitalized patients in coronary care unit (P=0.000), and sleep disorders increased with higher BMI. Short of sleep increases sympathetic tonus, cortisol level, and activation of inflammatory pathways, impairing glucose metabolism and contributing to overweigh, increased visceral fat.Conclusion:Our findings suggest that poor sleep quality, is related to higher BMI and hypertension among acute coronary syndrome patients.

“…Besides being the first instrument to assess TS in patients with chronic HCV, another contribution of this study was the use of SEM to assess the correlation between the TE and the global (exogenous) measure of TS. While global and general measures of TS may not always perform as desired, they are important from the perspective of clinical research for use as a validation measure in comparison with the data obtained from patient history, other instruments and clinical evaluation. Furthermore, instructing patients to consider multiple aspects of their treatment experience when making global ratings might increase the validity of their perceptions if such ratings more adequately characterise patient experiences with their treatment compared with global ratings without such instructions …”

“…However, these scales could be limited when capturing all the patient perceptions associated with the special characteristics of treatment employed with certain illnesses, as would be the case in allergic patients undergoing specific immunotherapy treatment. That is probably why quite a few questionnaires have been developed to measure treatment satisfaction specific for certain illnesses and patient populations 4–12. Yet, how can we assess the specific immunotherapy-treated allergic patient satisfaction, and his/her relation to other basic parameters in the clinical management of this population, without having a suitable instrument available?…”

“…The assessment of patient satisfaction with treatment should contemplate these aspects, and should be carried out with duly developed instruments that take into account the patient’s perspective during its development 1–3. Currently, there already exist multidimensional scales that assess treatment satisfaction (referring solely to the medication employed or including other aspects relative to the treatment) regarding different illnesses4–8 or symptoms 9–12. There are also more generic instruments, eg, that assess the chronic patient’s treatment satisfaction in general, as is shown in the case of the Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication that includes dimensions common to chronic treatments13,14 or other scales 15.…”

Background:Allergen-specific immunotherapy (SIT) is a treatment capable of modifying the natural course of allergy, so ensuring good adherence to SIT is fundamental. Up until now there has not existed an instrument specifically developed to measure patient satisfaction with SIT, although its assessment could help us to comprehend better and improve treatment adherence and effectiveness. The aim of this study was to develop an instrument to measure adult patient satisfaction with SIT.Methods:Items were generated from a literature review, focus groups with allergic adult patients undergoing SIT, and a meeting with experts. Potential items were administered to allergic patients undergoing SIT in an observational, cross-sectional, multicenter study. Item reduction was based on quantitative and qualitative criteria. A preliminary assessment of feasibility, reliability, and validity of the retained items was performed.Results:An initial pool of 70 items was administered to 257 patients undergoing SIT. Fifty-four items were eliminated resulting in a provisional instrument with 16 items. Factor analysis yielded four factors that were identified as perceived efficacy, activities and environment, cost-benefit balance, and overall satisfaction, explaining 74.8% of variance. Ceiling and floor effects were negligible for overall score. Overall score was associated with the type and intensity of symptoms.Conclusion:This is the first attempt to develop a satisfaction with SIT measure from the perspective of the allergic patient, and evidence has been found in favor of its reliability and validity.
