PG - 272-9 LID - 10.1111/j.1745-7599.2012.00784.x [doi] AB - PURPOSE: To identify the best screening measure of daytime sleepiness in adults with heart failure (HF). DATA SOURCES: A total of 280 adults with HF completed the Epworth Sleepiness Scale, the Stanford Sleepiness Scale, and a single Likert item measuring daytime sleepiness. The sensitivity and specificity of these self-report measures were assessed in relation to a measure of daytime dysfunction from poor sleep quality. CONCLUSIONS: Only 16% of the sample reported significant daytime dysfunction because of poor sleep quality. Those reporting daytime dysfunction were likely to be younger (p < .001), to be unmarried (p = .002), to have New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class IV HF (p = .015), and to report low income (p = .006) and fewer hours of sleep (p = .015). The measure of daytime sleepiness that was most sensitive to daytime dysfunction was a single Likert item measured on a 10-point (1-10) scale. Patients with a score >/=4 were 2.4 times more likely to have daytime dysfunction than those with a score <4. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: Complaints of daytime dysfunction because of poor sleep are not common in adults with HF. Routine use of a single question about daytime sleepiness can help nurse practitioners to identify those HF patients with significant sleep issues that may require further screening.
