Assessment of the Quality of Sleep and Sleep Disorders Among the Professional and Volunteer Firefighters of Loire

Studies have shown that schedules that most disrupt the normal circadian rhythm have the most harmful consequences. Firefighters positive for a sleep disorder have a higher risk of depression and anxiety; they report more traffic accidents, falling asleep during driving, and worth health felt. Furthermore, some studies suggest that sleep disorders are risk factors for cardiovascular disease. This activity is responsible of a worth quality of sleep that could induce a lower effectiveness of emergency response. The consequences of this schedules on sleep and health of French firemen have never been studied.

Treatment and study plan

socio-demographic data and personal medical history

Diagnostic Test

Socio-demographic data and personal medical history is a self-administered questionnaire.

Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)

Diagnostic Test

Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) is a self-administered questionnaire. This score evaluates sleep disturbances.

Epworth Sleepiness Scale

Diagnostic Test

Epworth Sleepiness Scale is a self-administered questionnaire. This score evaluates excessive drowsiness.

Insomnia Severity Index (ISI)

Diagnostic Test

Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) is a self-administered questionnaire. This score evaluates insomnia severity.

stop-BANG questionnaire

Diagnostic Test

Stop-BANG is a self-administered questionnaire. This score evaluates Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA).

Primary outcomes

  1. sleep disturbances

    Time frame: September 2019

    Analyzed the percentage of firefighters with a score greater than 5 on the self-administrated questionnaire Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) (Buysse and al., 1989).

    This score evaluates sleep disturbances.

Secondary outcomes

  1. excessive drowsiness

    Time frame: September 2019

    Analyzed the percentage of firefighters totalizing a score of 10 or more during the self-realization of the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (Johns 1991).

    This score evaluates excessive drowsiness.

  2. insomnia severity

    Time frame: September 2019

    Analyzed the percentage of firefighters totalizing a score of 10 on the auto-administrated questionnaire of Insomnia Severity Index (Bastien 2001).

    This score evaluates insomnia severity.

  3. Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)

    Time frame: September 2019

    Analyzed the percentage of firefighters with a high-risk of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome on the STOP-Bang questionnaire (Chung et al., 2012).

    This score evaluates the risk of doing an Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA).

  4. status firefighter

    Time frame: September 2019

    Correlation between status firefighter (professional or voluntary firefighter) and the scores of Epworth Sleepiness Scale, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) and stop-BANG.

  5. number of years of professional practice

    Time frame: September 2019

    Correlation between number of years of professional practice as a firefighter and the scores of Epworth Sleepiness Scale, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) and stop-BANG.

  6. fire station

    Time frame: September 2019

    Correlation between fire station and the scores of Epworth Sleepiness Scale, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) and stop-BANG.

  7. exercise of another professional activity

    Time frame: September 2019

    Correlation between exercise of another professional activity and the scores of Epworth Sleepiness Scale, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) and stop-BANG.

  8. shift schedules 12 or 24 hours

    Time frame: September 2019

    Correlation between shift schedules 12 or 24 hours and the scores of Epworth Sleepiness Scale, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) and stop-BANG.

  9. family status

    Time frame: September 2019

    Correlation between shift family status and the scores of Epworth Sleepiness Scale, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) and stop-BANG.

  10. personal medical history

    Time frame: September 2019

    Correlation between personal medical history and the scores of Epworth Sleepiness Scale, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) and stop-BANG.

  11. number of interventions by guard

    Time frame: September 2019

    Correlation between number of interventions by guard and the scores of Epworth Sleepiness Scale, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) and stop-BANG.

  12. number of interventions by constraint

    Time frame: September 2019
