RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Sleep alterations are common in college students, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. Sociodemographic factors may predict these alterations in this population. OBJECTIVE: To identify the sociodemographic factors and health characteristics associated with the number of hours of sleep of college students during the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS: This was a cross-sectional study carried out with 244 university students from a multicampi public university in the State of Bahia, Northeast Brazil. Data collection was performed online and participants answered a specific questionnaire to assess sleep hours, sociodemographic and health variables. RESULTS: Significant associations were observed between hours of sleep and older students (odds ratio adjusted -ORaj: 3.75; 95% Confidence Interval -CI: 1.81-7.75; pâ<â0.01), attending the final semesters (ORaj: 1.85; 95% CI: 1.05-3.25; pâ<â0.03), and who reported having some disease (ORaj: 2.18; 95% CI: 1.05-4.50; pâ<â0.03) with greater chances of getting less sleep. However, those who used tobacco (ORaj: 0.08; 95% CI: 0.01-0.45; pâ<â0.001) were likely to have more hours of sleep per night. CONCLUSION: Sleep restriction was common among participating college students, which has likely intensified due to the COVID-19 pandemic and its restrictions. This encourages specific public health actions, contemplating the health and hours of sleep of this population.

The objective of this study was to analyze the association between sociodemographic and occupational variables with the lifestyle of health professionals in pediatric units during the COVID-19 pandemic. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 407 health professionals working in four pediatric health units in the State of Bahia, northeast Brazil. The Fantastic Lifestyle Questionnaire and a questionnaire with sociodemographic and employment variables self-applied via Google Forms were used. The final binary logistic regression models revealed significant associations between those who received 3 to 5 minimum wages, without a marital relationship and with more than one employment relationship. Data suggest that these sociodemographic and occupational profiles are more exposed to risky lifestyle behaviors. The findings of this study demonstrated the need for greater attention to the health of health professionals in the pediatric field, as well as the promotion of initiatives that seek to value the work of these professionals and reduce the damage caused to their lifestyle, especially in a pandemic scenario.

Estima-se que 70 a 85% da população mundial sente, sentiu ou irá sentir dor lombar em algum momento da vida. A alta prevalência e o impacto das dores de coluna motivaram o surgimento de intervenções, como a "Escola da Coluna". O objetivo deste estudo é relatar a experiência vivenciada no projeto "Cuide bem da sua coluna", do planejamento até os resultados obtidos, através de reflexões sobre as práticas desenvolvidas e os desafios a serem superados e compartilhar o processo de criação e desenvolvimento do projeto. O projeto foi estruturado com base no modelo de curso, contando com atividades teóricas e práticas. Das 10 participantes do projeto, 8 relataram diminuição da dor, e em 2 a dor permaneceu na mesma intensidade. Em nenhuma houve piora do quadro álgico. A média da intensidade da dor na avaliação inicial foi de 8 pontos (± 1,5), enquanto que, ao final do projeto, foi de 4 pontos (± 2,9). Concluiu-se que o projeto trouxe melhorias na redução da dor e na capacidade funcional das participantes.
About 70-85% of the population feel, felt or are going to feel back pain sometime in their lives. The high prevalence and the impact of back pain led to the emergence of interventions, such as "Back School". The objective of this study was to report what was experienced during the project "Take care of your back" through reflections on the practices developed and the challenges to be overcome. The project was structured in the course model, with theoretical and practical activities. 8 out of 10 participants of the project reported decreased pain, yet for the other 2 the pain remained at the same intensity. However there was no worsening of the pain. The average pain intensity at the initial evaluation was 8 points (± 1.5), while at the end of the project it was 4 points (± 2.9). From the data and the reports of the participants, it was concluded that the project has brought improvements to pain reduction and to the functional capacity of the participants.
Estimase que alrededor de 70-85 por ciento de la población siente, ha sentido o sentirá el dolor de espalda en algún momento de la vida. La alta prevalencia y el impacto del dolor de espalda condujeron al surgimiento de intervenciones, como la "Escuela de la columna". El objetivo de este estudio es dar a conocer la experiencia vivida en el proyecto "Cuida bien de su columna vertebral", desde la planificación hasta los resultados obtenidos a través de reflexiones sobre las prácticas desarrolladas y los retos que hay que superar y compartir el proceso de creación y desarrollo del proyecto. El proyecto fue estructurado en el modelo de curso, con actividades teóricas y prácticas. De los 10 participantes en el proyecto 8 reportaron disminución del dolor, solo 2 se mantuvieron la misma intensidad. Todavía no hubo cualquier empeoramiento de los síntomas de dolor. La intensidad media del dolor en la evaluación inicial fue de 8 puntos (± 1,5), mientras que al final del proyecto fue de 4 puntos (± 2,9). A través de los datos e informes de los participantes, se concluyó que el proyecto ha traído mejorías a la reducción del dolor y a la capacidad funcional de los participantes.
