Spanje kot okupacija : diplomsko delo

Babič, Nina (author), Ocepek, Julija (mentor), Plemelj Mohorič, Alenka (reviewer)

Uvod: Spanje je ena izmed pomembnih potreb ljudi. Je okupacija, ki pomembno vpliva na učinkovitost izvedbe drugih vsakodnevnih aktivnosti. Na nastanek različnih motenj spanja vplivajo biološki, psihološki, genetski in socialni dejavniki. Motnje spanja vplivajo negativno na telesno in duševno zdravje, zato jih je potrebno primerno zdraviti. Težave s spanjem lahko izboljšajo tudi delovni terapevti, ki tako posledično izboljšajo tudi izvajanje drugih vsakodnevnih aktivnosti. Namen: Z našo raziskavo smo želeli raziskati pomen spanja kot okupacije ter kateri dejavniki vplivajo negativno oz. pozitivno na spanje. Metode dela: Z uporabo deskriptivne metode dela in s kvantitativnim pristopom smo izdelali spletni anketni vprašalnik. Vprašalnik je bil sestavljen iz petih demografskih vprašanj in iz petih vprašanj vezanih na spanje. Za izpolnitev je bil dostopen od 24. 1. do 7. 2. 2021 za vse, ki so bili stari več kot 18 let. Rezultati: Spletni anketni vprašalnik je v celoti izpolnilo 305 oseb. Največ anketirancev je bilo starih 22 let in niso bili v rednem zaposlitvenem razmerju ter niso imeli diagnosticirane bolezni. Povprečno so največ spali 8 ur na noč; pogosto je na njihov spanec vplival stres. Stres je bil povezan tudi z nočnim zbujanjem. V povprečju so spili eno ali dve skodelici kave dnevno in se 1-3-krat tedensko ukvarjali s športno dejavnostjo. Razprava in zaključek: V naši raziskavi smo ugotovili, da večina udeležencev spi zadostno količino spanca na noč, vendar je bolj kot količina pomembna kakovost spanca. Kljub majhnemu številu oseb z diagnosticirano boleznijo, obstaja razlika v količini spanca med tistimi z diagnozo in tistimi brez diagnoze. Na spanje pozitivno vpliva pitje zmerne količine kofeina. Negativno pa vpliva predvsem stres, zaradi česar bi bilo koristno izobraževanje na temo učinki stresa na spanje in njegovo obvladovanje. Kljub pomembnosti je spanje v delovnoterapevtski obravnavi še zmeraj pogosto spregledano. Prav tako v slovenskem prostoru ni dovolj strokovnih člankov na to temo, zato upamo, da bomo s tem diplomskim delom spodbudili interes za nove raziskave.

• Title: Sleep as an occupation : diploma work

Abstract

Introduction: Sleep is an important need for humans. It is an occupation that has a significant impact on the performance of different everyday activities. Different sleep-related disorders are influenced by biological, psychological, genetic, and social factors. Sleep-related disorders hurt physical and mental health and, therefore, need to be appropriately treated. Sleep-related issues can be improved by working with an occupational therapist, which also improves the performance of other daily occupations. Purpose: In our thesis, we wanted to research the importance of sleep as an occupation, as well as the positives and negatives that affect it. Methods: We used the descriptive method of work with a quantitative approach and we made an online questionnaire. The questionnaire had five demographic questions, as well as five questions about sleep. It was accessed online from 24th January to 7th February for anyone over the age of 18. Results: 305 people filled out our online questionnaire fully. Most of our participants were 22 years old. They were not employed for a full time and they did not have a diagnosed disease. On average, they slept 8 hours per night and their sleep was often influenced by stress. Stress was also linked to waking up during the night. On average, they drank one to two cups of coffee a day and were physically active 1-3 times a week. Discussion and conclusion: In our thesis, we conclude that most of our participants slept a sufficient amount of sleep but also that more than the quantity of sleep, it is the quality of sleep that is important. Despite a small number of people with a diagnosed disease, there has been a significant difference in the amount of sleep between those with a diagnosis and those without one. Drinking moderate amounts of caffeine has a positive impact on sleep. On the other hand, stress hurts sleeping, and, therefore, a seminar on the subject of the influence of stress on sleep and how to manage stress could be beneficial. Despite the importance of sleep in an occupational therapy intervention, it is still often overlooked. Additionally, there is still a lack of scientific articles in Slovenia on this subject and, therefore, we hope that with our dissertation the interest for new research will be awakened.
