Abstract

Purpose

Technological change, economic pressure and the need for concentration increase work stress in the printing business. It is well known that stress in the workplace is associated with impaired cognitive functioning, such as headaches and concentration problems. Accordingly, daily recovery—especially restful and healthy sleep—is essential for human functioning. This study tested whether the quality of the previous night’s sleep predicts headaches and concentration problems independent of current-day time pressure, work interruptions and concentration requirements.

Methods

Twenty-seven out of 28 printing plant employees contributed daily data over five consecutive workdays. Self-reported data on working conditions and cognitive functions and actigraphy-based indicators of sleep quality were subjected to multi-level analysis.

Results

Multilevel regression analysis of 125 days confirmed that longer sleep-onset latency, more fragmented sleep and lower sleep efficiency were antecedents of headache intensity the following day. Headaches were also predicted by the current work interruptions. Concentration problems were predicted by the previous night’s sleep latency and the current day’s concentration requirements.

Conclusion

Poor recovery in the sense of low sleep quality may impair cognitive function beyond the effects of the current-day’s work stress. Work redesign and person-oriented training should be used to promote sleep and cognitive function in printers.

Stumme Schlaganfälle − ein häufiger Nebenbefund im Kopf-CT?

In 4% der in der Notfallambulanz initiierten zerebralen Bildgebung sind „alte“ Schlaganfälle zu erkennen. Gar nicht so selten handelt es sich laut einer aktuellen Studie dabei um unbemerkte Insulte. Bietet sich hier womöglich die Chance auf ein effektives opportunistisches Screening?

CGRP-Antikörper auch bei älteren Migränekranken sicher

Beginnen ältere Migränekranke eine Prophylaxe mit CGRP-Antikörpern, kommt es anschließend nicht häufiger zu kardiovaskulären Problemen als unter einer Prophylaxe mit Botulinumtoxin. Darauf deutet eine US-Analyse von Medicare-Versicherten.

Frühwarnzeichen für multiple Sklerose bei Kindern und Jugendlichen

Ein Forschungsteam aus Deutschland und Kanada hat eine Reihe metabolischer, okulärer, muskuloskelettaler, gastrointestinaler und kardiovaskulärer Symptome identifiziert, die bei Kindern und Jugendlichen der Diagnose einer multiplen Sklerose (MS) vorausgehen können.

Migräne verstehen und psychotherapeutisch behandeln

Das Wissen über die Mechanismen, die im Gehirn bei einer Migräneattacke ablaufen, und mögliche Auslöser wird immer breiter. Der psychologische Psychotherapeut Dr. Dipl.-Psych. Timo Klan fasst den aktuellen Erkenntnisstand zusammen. Und er gibt Tipps für eine differenzierte, individuelle Diagnostik auch von Begleiterkrankungen und beschreibt erfolgreiche psychotherapeutische Interventionen.
