Objective: This study was aimed to determine excessive daytime sleepiness and related factors in adults. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in Çorum an inland province in the Black Sea Region of Turkey, with 575 adults between the ages of 18-64 who registered at a Family Health Center. In this study, a self-administered 37-item questionnaire and the Turkish version of The Epworth Sleepiness Scale were used. Results: In our study, overall prevalence of excessive day-time sleepiness was 11.3%. It was significantly prevalent among adults under the age of 25 years of age with the increased risk being 1.18 fold. Also it was more prevalent among women. Increased risk of excessive day-time sleepiness was 3.05 fold higher in adults with chronic disease and 1.78 fold higher with adults having a stressful life. Among the sleep-related habits, it was more often in adults with sleep speaking, restless sleep, breathing pauses, subjective sense of having a problem related with sleep, waking up feeling unrefreshed. Conclusion: The results of our study showed that nearly one in ten adults were suffering from excessive daytime sleepiness. It is suggested that to improve sleep hygiene and to manage chronic disease for people with daytime sleepiness should be a priority for public health and preventive medicine practices.

ABSTRACT Background: The Beck Hopelessness Scale (BHS), as the most globally utilized measure of hopelessness, has been recognized to be very useful in the prediction of suicide. Its psychometric properties in terms of its factor structure, validity and reliability has not been examined among Nigerian student nurses. The rate of suicide has previously been reported to be high among nurses and student nurses. Objective: The purpose of this study, is to explore the psychometric properties of the BHS in a non-clinical sample of student nurses (438), selected from 4 tertiary health care affiliated training institutions in South-western Nigeria. The student nurses completed the BHS, in addition to the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES), the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), the General Health Questionnaire-12 (GHQ-12) and a sociodemographic questionnaire.
