<b>Objective</b> To determine the prevalence of depression and burnout among residents in paediatrics to establish if a relation exists between these disorders medication errors. <b>Design</b> Prospective cohort study. <b>Setting</b> Three urban freestanding children’s hospitals United States. <b>Participants</b> 123 three paediatric residency programmes. <b>Main outcome measures</b> Prevalence using Harvard national screening day scale, Maslach inventory, rate errors per resident month....
To document the sleep of overweight adolescents and to explore degree which weight-related pathology might account for diminished psychosocial outcome.Sixty children aged 10-16.9 from a weight-management clinic were compared 22 healthy controls using comprehensive actigraphic, polysomnographic, parent- self-report questionnaire assessments.Overweight participants averaged more symptoms sleep-disordered breathing, later onset, shorter time, disrupted than controls. Although groups did not...
OBJECTIVE. To mitigate the risks of fatigue-related medical errors, Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education introduced work hour limits resident physicians in 2003. Our goal was to determine whether hours, sleep, and safety changed after implementation standards. METHODS. We conducted a prospective cohort study which residents from 3 large pediatric training programs provided daily reports hours sleep. In addition, they completed near-miss actual motor vehicle crashes,...
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether shorter school-night sleep duration, greater daytime sleepiness, and eveningness chronotype were associated with lower self-regulation among adolescents. METHODS: An online survey of 7th- to 12th-grade students in 19 schools Fairfax County, Virginia Public Schools was conducted 2015. Self-regulation measured the Behavior Rating Inventory Executive Function, 2nd edition, Screening Self-Report Form. Sleep measures included school night-sleep duration (hours...
This White Paper addresses the current gaps in knowledge, as well opportunities for future studies pediatric sleep. The Sleep Research Society's Pipeline Development Committee assembled a panel of experts tasked to provide information those interested learning more about field sleep, including trainees. We cover scope epidemiological and development sleep circadian rhythms early childhood adolescence. Additionally, we discuss knowledge insufficient disruption, addressing neuropsychological...
Inadequate sleep and problematic drinking are prevalent among high school students significant public health issues. may contribute to alcohol use through impairments in emotion regulation or cognitive functioning, whereas lead inadequate the biological effects of social influences.

Deficient sleep is linked to detrimental outcomes in health and school performance for adolescents. This study characterized patterns Chinese adolescents preparing the College Entrance Exam (CEE) evaluated association between patterns, self-rated academic performance, CEE scores.A sample of 481 12th grade (ages 16-19 years) completed questionnaires about stress, sociodemographic factors 4-6 weeks before June 2013. The scores each student also were obtained.A total 21% students had bedtimes...
ABSTRACT In response to the scientific evidence documenting both profound developmental changes in sleep and circadian biology during adolescence myriad of negative health, performance, safety outcomes risks associated with chronic loss, at least 70 public school districts United States, representing approximately 1,000 schools, have successfully implemented a delay high start times. However, despite compelling supporting time change as key strategy addressing epidemic adolescent many across...

The American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) commissioned five Workgroups to develop quality measures optimize management and care for patients with common sleep disorders including insomnia. Following the AASM process measure development, this document describes measurement methods two desirable outcomes therapy, improving or satisfaction, daytime function, four processes important achieving these goals. To achieve outcome pre- post-treatment assessment satisfaction providing an...
To examine the association between self-reported sleep duration (SD) and peer/individual factors predictive of risky behaviors (risk behavior factors) in a large socioeconomically diverse school-based sample early adolescents.Survey data collected from 10718 11240 eighth-grade students 2010 2012, respectively, were analyzed.N/A.Self-reported school night SD was grouped as ≤4 hours, 5 6 7 8 9 ≥10 hours.
