INTRODUCTION

“It's not whether you get knocked down, it's whether you get up”

Restless leg syndrome (RLS) is a neurological disorder characterized by an irresistible urge to


move the legs, usually accompanied by uncomfortable sensations such as tingling, burning, or
itching. RLS can significantly impact an individual's quality of life, causing sleep disturbances,
fatigue, and decreased productivity. It's also known as willis-ekbom disease.
Prevalence
1.Approximately 7-10% of the general population in the united states and europe suffer from
RLS. (Source: national institute of neurological disorders and stroke).

2.Age: RLS can affect individuals of all ages, but it is most common among middle-aged and
older adults. (Source: mayo clinic) sex: women are more likely to develop RLS than men,
with a female-to-male ratio of 1.4:1. (Source: national sleep foundation)

3.Family history: individuals with a family history of RLS are more likely to develop the
condition. (Source: american academy of sleep medicine)

4comorbidities: RLS often co-occurs with other conditions, such as iron deficiency, kidney
disease, diabetes, and parkinson's disease. (Source: national institute of diabetes and digestive
Need of The Study
• It should be noted that the prevalence of RLS in nursing staff is approximately 25%, and this
syndrome in healthcare workers is also associated with shift work disorder. Nurses suffer
from fatigue and muscle cramps due to prolonged standing, excessive use of muscles, and
poor posture while working.
• Rest leg syndrome is the leading cause of in staff nurse affecting over 279 million people
globally. Rest leg syndrome , particularly affect the leg which cause pain and sleep
disturbance the aim of this review was to provide an overview of nursing intervention that can
be used for to relive pain and promote sleep quality . rest leg syndrome prevalence rates in
India have been estimated and some study suggest that 1.5%-6.6% over the past several
decades. In India key factor associated with rest leg syndrome iron deficiency , anemia ,
systemic disease like diabetes kidney disease and Parkinson’s disease.
