Abstract

Aim: The aim of the study was to have a better understanding of the sleep-related diseases suffered by workers of the National university hospital center-HKM (CNHU-HKM), reference Hospital.

Methods: It was a descriptive, cross-sectional study that involved 298 CNHU-HKM workers randomly selected from the 1048 agents of the hospital. It lasted from 1 July to 30 September 2016. The data collected was stripped and captured using Epidata software and statistical analyses with SPSS.17.0 software.

Results: The average age of the sample was 37.8 years 0.6 with 55.7% of men. The prevalence of chronic debt of sleep was 67.1% and 14.8% of those workers took medication to facilitate occurrence of sleep. 66.8% were sleepless. Several factors are associated with insomnia; alternate shift workers had more insomnia than fixed shift workers (p=0.04); workers had great difficulty concentrating (p=0.04) and excessive daytime fatigue (p=0.002). For the Obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS), its frequency was 23.5%. This frequency increased with age. The female sex was dominant: 32.9% in the evocative symptoms of OSAHS. The factors associated with this were: the antecedent of high blood pressure OR=2.37 (IC 95% [1.02-5.52]), the consumption of a lot of alcohol OR=4.12 (IC 95% [1.03; 16.46]). Associated factors with this were: the antecedent of high blood pressure OR=2.37 (IC 95% [1.02-5.52]), the consumption of alcohol OR=4.12 (IC 95% [1.03; 16.46]).

Conclusion: Sleep disorders remain a pathology to which very little attention is given in the health care system and especially in professional fields in Benin. The present study is now shedding light on it back in order to encourage the development of national and adapted control strategies to reduce the drawbacks of that on the country's economy.
