Article Abstract
Introduction: Shift in circadian clock of adolescence with delayed bedtime and early awakening to catch morning school effects their sleep. Present study elucidated sleep hygiene practices of school-going adolescents and explored its association with their sleep quality and mood.
Methods: Students of 6 to 12 grade were enrolled after requisite permissions, parental consent, and written informed assent from students. Standardized questionnaires were used to evaluate for sleep hygiene practices-Adolescent Sleep Hygiene Scale (ASHS), sleep quality- Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), daytime sleepiness-Pediatric Daytime Sleepiness Scale (PDSS) and mood (DASS-21-Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21). CTRI/2022/06/043556 is the study number in Clinical Trial Registry of India.
Results: Adolescents with mean age 14.28 ± 1.86 years, including 48.7% (479) males and 51.2% (503) females participated in this study. Mean sleep hygiene score was 4.37 ± 0.60, with no difference between males and females. On ASHS subscales comparison, females had poorer sleep quality (0.009), higher daytime sleepiness ( = 0.001), poorer cognitive/emotional factor ( = 0.001) and higher depression, anxiety, and stress (DASS-21). Young adolescents (10-14 years; N = 528) had better total sleep hygiene scores ( = 0.016), better bedtime routine, cognitive/emotional factor ( = 0.001), but had poor sleep environment factor ( = 0.001). Younger adolescents also exhibited better quality of sleep ( = 0.003), lesser daytime sleepiness, and lesser mood derangements compared to older adolescents (15-19 years; N = 453). Sleep hygiene scores showed a significantly negative correlation with mood and sleep quality.
Conclusion: A clear relationship between sleep hygiene practices, mood and sleep quality has been observed among adolescents. Young adolescents who followed better sleep hygiene practices had lesser mood derangements and better sleep quality. Though ASHS scores were same among both genders but females had poor sleep quality, higher daytime sleepiness and mood.

Background: Cancer patients frequently experience anticipatory grief (AG), anxiety, and sleep disturbances. This randomized controlled trial evaluates the efficacy of the emotional freedom technique (EFT) therapy in alleviating these symptoms.
Methods: A total of 58 cancer patients were randomly assigned to an intervention group (n = 30) receiving 4-week EFT therapy (acupoint tapping + scripted prompts, 5 minutes per prompt) plus routine care, or a control group (n = 28) receiving routine care alone.
The Impact of Rotating Shift Work on Nurse Burnout: A Systematic Review of Contributing Factors and Organizational Strategies.

Nursing College, Palestine Polytechnic University, Hebron, Palestine.
Background: Nurse burnout remains a significant global challenge, exacerbated by rotating shift work, which disrupts circadian rhythms and contributes to psychological strain. Burnout is characterized by emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment-outcomes that can compromise patient care and workforce stability.
Objective: This systematic review examines the association between rotating shift work and nurse burnout, focusing on how specific shift characteristics influence each burnout dimension and exploring contextual moderators such as organizational support and work environment.
