RESUMO:

The work in the social and financial context goes beyond of subsistence. Teachers have a responsibility to contribute to make pupils citizens capable of recognizing and to be aware of their own role in society. However, teaching profession is related to work overload, inadequate work conditions and violence context in the school, among other problems characteristic of this profession. In addition, the presence of health problems, including those related to sleep, is increasingly common. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the work context, the sleep schedules and quality, and daytime sleepiness of high school teachers of public school in the Trairi region of Rio Grande do Norte. Besides, the second aim was evaluate the relationship between the work context and the sleep quality and daytime sleepiness of these teachers. For this, it was aplied an identification questionaire; the Work Context Avaliation Scale (EACT), based on factors, work condition (F1), work organization (F2) and socio-professional relations (F3); the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (IQSP) and Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESE) for 61 teachers of both sexes, aged 39.7 ± 9.2 years. The factors "working conditions" and "work organization" were classified as critical/severe by the majority of the teachers, while "socio-professional relations" were considered satisfactory by half of the study population. Most items related to these factors were evaluated as critical/serious, such as poor working conditions, uncomfortable physical environment, work rhythm, tasks fulfilled under pressure, non-existent autonomy and poor communication between subordinate and leadership. In addition, 69% of teachers had poor sleep quality and 49% had excessive daytime sleepiness. With regard to sleep quality according to the assessment of the work context, it was observed that teachers who evaluated socio-professional relations as critical / severe (mean rank 36.11) are more likely to have poor sleep quality to those that evaluated as satisfactory (mean rank 26.94 - U = 321, p < 0.05). In relation to sex, poor sleep quality is present in 69% of both sexes (X² = 0.00, p > 0.05), while excessive daytime sleepiness is more frequent in women (55%) than in to men (44% - X² = 4.88, p < 0.05). Teachers' bedtime was on average at 11:26 ± 1:25 p.m., the waking time at 6:06 ± 1:16 p.m., and sleep duration was 6:10 ± 1:07 p.m. The Mann-Whitney test shows that teachers with poorer sleep quality (mean rank 26.56) sleep 36 minutes less (5:58 ± 1: 06h) than teachers with good sleep quality (6:34 ± 1: 04h; mean rank 35.53 - U = 256.00, p < 0.05). These results have great importance in the knowledge of the work context of the teacher, reinforcing the need to create spaces for discussion and possible proposals for the elaboration of policies aimed at this professional, which help in the supply of needs listed by the worker himself. In addition, it is necessary to carry out further studies that try to clarify which factors related to the work context may be contributing to poor sleep quality and daytime sleepiness present in these professionals.
