ABSTRACT

Objective:

To characterize daytime sleepiness in patients with acute myocardial infarction and identify the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics associated with excessive daytime sleepiness in these patients.

Methods:

A cross-sectional study with 113 patients (mean age of 59.7 years; 70.8% male), in which were used an instrument for the sociodemographic and clinical characterization, and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale.

Results:

Excessive daytime sleepiness was identified in 33 patients (29.2%). Those with a body mass index above 30 kg/m2 and those who progressed to clinical worsening obtained a higher score in the Epworth Sleepiness Scale, compared to those with a body mass index less than 30 kg/m2 and clinical improvement. The patients aged 60 years or more, those separated, and with body mass index greater than 30 kg/m2 were more likely to mention excessive daytime sleepiness.

Conclusion:

Identifying individuals with excessive daytime sleepiness should be part of the routine work of nurses for the prevention of cardiovascular diseases.
RESUMO

Objetivos:

Caracterizar a sonolência diurna em pacientes com infarto agudo do miocárdio e identificar as características sociodemográficas e clínicas associadas à sonolência diurna excessiva nesses pacientes.

Métodos:

Estudo transversal com 113 pacientes (média de idade 59,7; 70,8% sexo masculino). Utilizou-se um instrumento para caracterização sociodemográfica e clínica e a Escala de Sonolência de Epworth.

Resultados:

A sonolência diurna excessiva foi identificada em 33 pacientes (29,2%). Aqueles com índice de massa corporal acima de 30kg/m2 e aqueles que evoluíram com piora clínica obtiveram escore superior na Escala de Sonolência Epworth, comparados àqueles com índice de massa corporal inferior a 30kg/m2 e melhora clínica. Os pacientes com 60 anos ou mais, os separados e aqueles com índice de massa corporal superior a 30kg/m2 apresentaram chances maiores de referir sonolência diurna excessiva.

Conclusão:

Identificar indivíduos com sonolência diurna excessiva deve constituir parte da atuação rotineira do enfermeiro visando à prevenção das doenças cardiovasculares.
