The aim of the work. To identify sleep disorders and assess its quality in representatives of the educational environment (teachers and students of higher pharmaceutical education) with further study of pharmaceutical care for sleep disorders for its improvement.
Materials and Methods. Methods of information search, synthesis, formalization, critical analysis, survey, generalization and interpretation of results were applied in the work.
The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), which was adapted and supplemented with questions about insomnia pharmaceutical care, was used as an assessment tool, and representatives of the educational environment (teachers and students of higher pharmaceutical education) of Ukraine were used as respondents.
Results and Discussion. 63 % of respondents noted sleep problems over the past year, 22.2 % indicated that they rarely, but had such problems, "no" – 14.9 % of respondents. However, only 36 % turned to a doctor or pharmacist to improve sleep.
When determining the quality of the pharmaceutical care provided during the purchase of sleeping pills at the pharmacy, in 56 % of cases, the pharmacist found out how problematic the process of falling asleep is and how often the patient wakes up at night; in 46 % the pharmacist was interested in a consultation with a doctor; 40 % – have they taken sleeping pills before and which ones, in 23 % – what medicines (hormones, antibiotics, etc.) is the patient taking now. Also, in 39 % the pharmacist warned about the need to take a break in the use of hypnotics, in 27 % – he did not warn.
Ukrainians living in the occupied territory have constant problems with sleep; respondents who are in the front-line zone and the rear zone more often than other respondents who are abroad experience problems with sleep all the time.
Conclusions. A survey conducted by the academic community of pharmaceutical higher education institutions showed that 63 % of respondents had severe sleep problems: difficulty falling asleep, low sleep efficiency (waking up in the middle of the night, disturbing dreams), sleep lasting less than 5 hours. Problematic aspects of pharmaceutical care for insomnia have been identified: violation of pharmacist protocols during pharmaceutical care; dispensing of prescription drugs without a corresponding prescription, and as a result – partial or complete absence of educational work with the population. In general, representatives of the educational environment have clearly expressed sleep problems, which are correlated with the location of the respondents: citizens who are in the occupation zone and the front-line zone suffer more often than citizens who are in a relatively calm area.
