Abstract(s)
A preferência circadiana ou matutinidade-vespertinidade difere de indivíduo para
indivíduo e pode ser definida como a preferência subjetiva para desempenhar tarefas em
horários específicos. O cronótipo, termo associado à preferência circadiana, alude às
características interindividuais associadas aos ritmos circadianos. O presente estudo,
inserido no projeto SAP “Sleep Ageing Project (SAP) – Estudo sobre Sono e
Envelhecimento” apresenta-se com os objetivos de analisar diferenças entre as variáveis
sexo, idade, habilitações literárias e situação profissional no que diz respeito às
preferências horárias de tarefas, à qualidade de sono e ao índice de matutinidade, bem
como analisar a relação entre a Escala de Preferências (PS-6), a Escala Básica de Insónia
e Qualidade de Sono (BaSIQS) e o Questionário Compósito de Matutinidade (QCM). No
decorrer da presente investigação foram analisados dados de 157 participantes com
idades compreendidas entre os 18 e os 70 anos, dos quais cerca de 71.5% são mulheres
(n=113) e 27.8% são homens (n=44). Foram utilizados três instrumentos do protocolo
do projeto SAP, nomeadamente PS-6 (Preferences Scale – 6), BaSIQS (Basic Scale of
Insomnia and Quality Sleep) e QCM (Questionário Compósito de Matutinidade). Foi
ainda utilizado um Questionário Sociodemográfico de forma a recolher informação
acerca da idade, sexo, habilitações literárias, situação profissional, entre outros. A análise
dos resultados permitiu concluir que não existem diferenças entre o sexo masculino e o
sexo feminino no que diz respeito às preferências horárias, à qualidade de sono e ao
índice de matutinidade. Com o avançar da idade, a qualidade de sono piora. O índice de
matutinidade também aumenta com o avançar da idade. Relativamente às habilitações
literárias e à situação profissional não foram encontradas diferenças estatisticamente
significativas no que toca às preferências horárias de tarefas, à qualidade de sono e ao
índice de matutinidade.
Circadian preference or morning-eveningness preference differs from individual to individual and can be defined as the subjective preference to perform tasks at specific times. Chronotype, a term associated with circadian preference, refers to the interindividual characteristics associated with circadian rhythms. This study is part of the SAP project "Sleep Ageing Project (SAP) - Study on Sleep and Ageing" and its objectives are to analyze differences between the variables gender, age, educational level and professional status with regard to time preferences for tasks, sleep quality and the morningness index, as well as analyzing the relationship between the Preference Scale (PS-6), the Basic Insomnia and Sleep Quality Scale (BaSIQS) and the Morningness Composite Questionnaire (QCM). During this research, data was analyzed from 157 participants aged between 18 and 70, of whom around 71.5% were women (n=113) and 27.8% men (n=44). Three instruments from the SAP project protocol were used, namely PS-6 (Preferences Scale – 6), BaSIQS (Basic Scale of Insomnia and Quality Sleep) and QCM (Composite Morningness Questionnaire). A Sociodemographic Questionnaire was also used to collect information on age, gender, educational level, professional status, among others. Analysis of the results showed that there are no differences between males and females in terms of time preferences, sleep quality and the morningness index. As age increases, sleep quality worsens. No statistically significant differences were found in relation to educational level and professional status regarding task preferences, sleep quality and the morningness index.
