    The Prevalence of Sleep Deprivation and Its Relation with Depression among Residents in King Fahd Hospital of the University in Al Khobar Saudi Arabia in the year 2012
    (2013) Al Maddah, Esra’a
    Background: Sleep deprivation is a common fact among medical residents working in all specialties. It affects residents’ mood and it may lead to depression. Purpose: The aim of this study is to determine the magnitude of sleep deprivation and depression among residents in King Fahd University Hospital (KFUH) in Al Khobar Saudi Arabia in the year 2012 and to explore the relationship between sleep deprivation and depression. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study that was conducted in KFUH in Al-Khobar in the period from February to April in year 2012. It involved 171 medical residents of different specialties. Data was collected using designed structured questionnaire consisting of demographic questions, quantity of sleep and work hours questions, a validated sleepiness screening tool (Arabic Epworth Sleepiness Scale) and a validated depression screening tool (Arabic Beck’s Depression Inventory Scale). All data were recorded and underwent preliminary editing and coding on-site. Data entry, verification and validation were done using SPSS v16 statistical package in addition to data entry module. Data analysis was done using chisquare test. Results: The prevalence of acute sleep deprivation among residents in King Fahd University Hospital in Al-Khobar was 85.4% while the prevalence of chronic sleep deprivation was 63.2%. The prevalence of sleepiness was 52%, 43.3% of them were excessively sleepy depending on the situation and 8.8% of them were excessively sleepy regardless of the situation. Prevalence of depression was 63%, 43.3% of them were mildly depressed while 15.2% were moderately depressed and 4.7% were severely depressed. There was a statistically significant association between acute sleep deprivation and depression (p=0.009). An association also found between depression and indirect indices of sleep deprivation (working hours per one night duty and working hours per week) and it was statistically significant (p=0.003,p=0.047 respectively). The study also shows that there is a significant relationship between depression and sleepiness (p=0.003) and between depression and being a female resident (p=0.033). Conclusion and Recommendations: This study highlighted the high prevalence of sleep deprivation, sleepiness and depression among KFUH residents in Al-Khobar. It also discovered the association between acute sleep deprivation with depression, depression with sleepiness, depression with working hours among residents in King Fahd University Hospital and depression with being a female resident. The investigator recommends setting new comprehensive regulations for residents’ number of working hours and night duties with a further follow up studies to assess the new regulations.
