“…Surprisingly there was no significant difference between genders regarding sleep disturbances. Previous research points at sleep disturbances are more common in women [ 33 ]. A possible explanation of our finding, needing further investigation, is that pain did not increase the number of women with sleep disturbances in a noticeable way, because a great number of the women might already be suffering from disturbed sleep for other reasons.…”

BackgroundLeg ulcers commonly emerge as a symptom of other comorbidities, often in older people. As a consequence of the ulcer, pain and sleep disturbances might occur. Due to the complex illness, the responsibility of treatment is unclear between health caregivers. The interaction between ulcer type, sleep and pain has not previously been investigated. This study aimed to explore pain in older men and women (65 years and older) with different diagnoses of leg ulcers and to investigate the associations of sleep disturbances and pain in people with leg ulcer diagnosis.MethodsThe study used a cross-sectional design and data from the Swedish Registry of Ulcer Treatment, collected between May 2009 and December 2013. One thousand and eight hundred and twenty four people were included, and 62.9 % were women. The mean age was 83.4 years (SD 8.8). For the analyses, the chi-square test, Mann-Whitney U-test, t-test, one-way ANOVA and logistic regression was performed. Pain was measured by the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), and sleep disturbances was assessed dichotomously.ResultsWe found the prevalence of pain intensity ≥ 5 on the NRS to be 34.8 % in those reporting pain. Additionally, the pain intensity was associated with the number of ulcers (p = 0.003). Sleep disturbances were associated with pain (p < 0.001) and were found in 34.8 % of the total sample. Although more women than men reported pain and scored higher on the NRS, no significant gender difference in sleep disturbances was found (p = 0.606). The mean NRS scores did not differ significantly between the ulcer types; however, arterial and venous-arterial ulcers increased the risk of sleep disturbances, as did higher pain scores.ConclusionsThe majority of the participants were of advanced age (>80 years) and frequently suffered from pain and sleep disturbances. Further research is needed regarding pain, sleep and wound healing in the oldest old with leg ulcers. Ulcer pain sometimes appears to receive less attention in ulcer management, as do sleep disturbances, implying that individual needs might not be satisfactorily met. National guidelines in managing leg ulcers, which also consider consequences such as sleep disturbances, pain and discomfort, are needed.

“…Sleep disturbance as secondary to other diseases such as joint pain, osteoporosis, heart failure, Parkinson disease and depression [13]. Changes in sleep patterns occur with age, especially in individuals after age 60 [27], in old age quality sleep / sleep efficiency will decrease, decreased sleep requirement. Sleep disorders that often IJPHS ISSN: 2252-8806  occur in elderly individuals are difficult to sleep, often awaken or wake up too early [28].…”

The purpose of this study is to look at the relationship of sleep disorders to the incidence of affective disorders. In addition, assess whether the relationship remains significant after controlled variable bullies that also affect the occurrence of sleep disorders and or affective disorders in elderly. Observational study with unmatched case control study design. Individual population age 60 years or older, sampling probability proportional to size, consist of case group that is experiencing sleep disturbance (n=165) and control group (n=330). Respondent sleep disturbance affective disorder 23.6%. There is a significant relationship of sleep disorders to affective disorders. Sleep disorders at risk 2.47 times affective disorder. Sleep disorders can be insomnia, awakening at night or waking up too early which can lead to psychological disorders such as psychological disorders such as anger, unstable emotions, sadness, distress, anxiety is also a physical disorder such as pain in the body. If not immediately addressed can continue to occur depression and even threaten psychiatric disorders. Further research needs to be done to overcome sleep disorders in the elderly.<p> </p>

Jarduera fisikoa erregulartasunez praktikatzea eta nutrizio egoki bat izatea beharrezko bi tresna garrantzitsu dira gaixotasun askoren tratamendu eta prebentziorako. Gaixotasun horiek pairatzen dituzten pertsonek haien inguruan beharrezko ezagutza izatea ezinbestekoa da beren bizi-ohiturak era egokian aurrera eraman ditzaten. Lan honen helburua, jarduera fisikoko programa bateko parte-hartzaileek nutrizioaren, jarduera fisikoaren eta beren patologien inguruan duten ezagutza deskribatzea eta ezagutza hori beren egunerokotasunean praktikara eramaten duten edo ez aztertzea izan da. Horretarako, lau patologia zehatz hobetzera bideratutako jarduera fisikoko programa bateko 683 pertsonari egindako galdetegiak aztertu ziren. Batez besteko adina 58,3 ± 9,7 urte izan zen, eta % 76,2 emakumezkoak izan ziren. Galdetegiak parte hartzaileek beren gaixotasunaren inguruan zuten ezagutzarekin zerikusia zuten galderez eta beren egunerokotasunean zituzten bizi-ohituren inguruko galderez osatuta zeuden. Nutrizioa ez zela garrantzitsua % 12k adierazi zuen. % 91k adierazi zuen elikaduraren inguruko ezagutza ona zutela eta % 83,3k baieztatu zuen elikadura egokia zutela. Ostera, % 1,8k ez zuen gosaltzen % 3,4 gazteen taldekoak izanik (<40 urte), % 50,5ek otordu artean jateko ohitura zuen. Obesitatea pairatzen zutenen % 36,4k ez zuen bere pisua kontrolatzen eta hipertentsio arteriala zutenen % 72,9k gatza erabiltzen zuen bazkarietan. Parte-hartzaileek zuten ezagutzaren eta beren eguneroko bizi-ohituren artean desadostasuna ikusi zen, bai nutrizioari dagokionez baita beren patologiekin erlazioa duten beste faktore batzuei dagokienez ere. Hori dela-eta, garrantzitsua da elikadura, ariketa fisikoa eta osasun-hezkuntza heziketa-helburutzat dituzten programak hobetzea, eta mota horretako programa gehiago eskaintzea, batez ere patologiak dituzten pertsonentzat.
