Abstract (english)
Aim: We sought to examine the frequency and characteristics of insomnia among adults in central Istria, as well as to analyse sociodemographic characteristics and explore whether there is an association between symptoms of insomnia and sociodemographic parameters. Methods: This research included 685 participants that visited family medicine offices (FMOs) in Central Istria from September till December 2016. Mean age of the sample was 52.73 ± 17.93 years. Participants were randomly selected and interviewed and all gave their informed consent. Participants with sleep disturbances and insomnia lasting one year prior to study enrolment were assessed using the questionnaire designed for the study; along with gathering of sociodemographic data. Results: More than half of the participants had insomnia, 30% of them each night or several times a week, mostly older participants and women. Regardless of the frequency of insomnia symptoms, all participants reported great impairment in all areas of daytime functioning. The most frequent incidence of insomnia was associated with more frequent sleep apnoea and less frequent bruxism. Frequent night awakenings and restless legs syndrome were not related to a greater incidence of insomnia. Conclusion: Insomnia is a common problem among patients treated in primary care. Family physicians are therefore in an ideal position to identify, evaluate and treat insomnia. The high prevalence of insomnia highlights the need for a more adequate recognition and treatment of this psychiatric illness.
Abstract (croatian)
Cilj: Istražiti učestalost i obilježja problema spavanja među odraslim ispitanicima centralne Istre, analizirati sociodemografske karakteristike ispitanika i ispitati postoji li povezanost između pojedinih simptoma nesanice i sociodemografskih karakteristika ispitanika. Metode: 685 ispitanika prosječne dobi 52.73±17.93 (± standardna devijacija), posjetilo je ordinacije obiteljske medicine u centralnoj Istri, u razdoblju od rujna do prosinca 2016. Ukupno je 14% odraslih ispitanika nasumično izabrano i anketirano. Svi ispitanici su potpisali informativni pristanak. Ispitivani su anketnim upitnikom koji se odnosio na razdoblje od godine dana prije istraživanja i napravljen je posebno za ovo istraživanje; također su prikupljeni sociodemografski podaci ispitanika. Rezultati: Više od polovice ispitanika imalo je probleme spavanja, no 30% ispitanika imalo je probleme spavanja svaku noć ili nekoliko puta tjedno, a najčešće su to bili stariji ispitanici i žene. Problemi spavanja, neovisno o učestalosti, jednako su ometali svakodnevicu ispitanika. Češća pojavnost problema spavanja bila je povezana s češćom apnejom u snu i manjom učestalosti škrgutanja zubima. Češća buđenja tijekom noći i nemirnost nogu kod ispitanika nisu bili povezani s većom učestalošću problema spavanja. Zaključak: Problemi spavanja su učestali među bolesnicima liječenim u primarnoj zdravstvenoj zaštiti stoga su liječnici obiteljske medicine idealno pozicionirani za njihovo pravodobno prepoznavanje, evaluaciju i liječenje. Velika učestalost problema spavanja naglašava potrebu za daljnjim edukacijama i istraživanjima, a zdravstvenu skrb obvezuje na rano prepoznavanje i liječenje ovih problema.
