Abstract (English): In order to achieve well-being, it is essencial that individuals have a good quality of sleep, mainly the workers, emphasizing professors in health area. It is noteworthy that healthy habits, such as regular physical activities, balanced meals and leisure time are factors that culminate in a good quality of life and consequently of sleep. The objective of the research was to investigate the occurence of sleep disorders among professors of medical school of the University of Marilia (UNIMAR), as well as to correlate this variable with other variables related to the work performed. It is a primary, analytical, longitudinal, retrospective, open, single center study. The investigation of the occurrence of sleep disorders was made using the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESE), which was based on observations related to the nature and the occurrence of daytime sleppiness. The number of interviwees was 38, 50% female, 71% between 41 and 56 years old, and 76,3% were married. Data as sex, age, place of work, weekly work day, leisure and life habits were colected. From the information obtained it was found that 18,4% of the professors presented excessive daytime sleppiness. Through the results, a statistically significant relationship can be observed only between the use of continuous medications and sleep disorders. It has been shown that the effect of age appears to be much greather in women than in men, with 85,7% of professors interviewed being overweight and the number of classes taught influenced the presence of sleep disorders. However, it is noted that these and the others variables did not presente statistical difference due to the low number of sample data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (Portuguese): RESUMO. Para se alcançar o bem-estar, é essencial que os indivíduos tenham uma boa qualidade no sono, principalmente os trabalhadores, destacando os docentes da área da saúde. É notório que hábitos saudáveis, como atividades físicas regulares, alimentações balanceadas e tempo de lazer são fatores que culminam numa boa qualidade de vida, e consequentemente, de sono. A pesquisa teve como objetivo geral investigar a ocorrência de distúrbios do sono entre professores do curso de medicina da Universidade de Marília (UNIMAR), bem como correlacionar essa variável com outras relacionadas ao trabalho exercido. Trata-se de um estudo primário, analítico, longitudinal, retrospectivo, aberto, centro único. A investigação da ocorrência de distúrbios do sono foi feita por meio da escala de sonolência de Epworth (ESE), a qual foi idealizada com base em observações relacionadas à natureza e à ocorrência da sonolência diurna. O número de entrevistados foi de 38, sendo 50% do sexo feminino, 71% tinham entre 41 e 56 anos e 76,3% eram casados. Dados como sexo, idade, local de trabalho, jornada de trabalho semanal, lazer e hábitos de vida foram levantados. Mediante as informações obtidas foi constatado que 18,4% dos professores apresentaram sonolência diurna excessiva. Através dos resultados, pode-se observar relação estatisticamente significativa apenas entre o uso contínuo de medicamentos e distúrbios no sono. Comprovou-se que o efeito da idade parece ser bem maior nas mulheres que nos homens, que 85,7% dos docentes entrevistados estão acima do peso e a quantidade de aulas ministradas tiveram influência na presença de distúrbio do sono. Porém, nota-se que essas e as demais variáveis não obtiveram diferença estatística devido ao baixo número de dados amostrais. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
