Abstract

Background: Shift work that interferes with normal sleep patterns, is known to be a cause of sleep disturbance and has been studied through various occupational groups. However, it is not known which shift type is better for sleep health.

Methods: This study included 568 firefighters. Sleep quality was evaluated using Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Sleep quality was categorized into 2 groups; good quality (≤ 5 points) and poor quality (≥ 6 points). Demographic variables, depression, anxiety, type of shift, and job were collected by self-reported questionnaires. The χ² test, t-test, and multiple logistic regression analysis were used to evaluate the effect of shift type on the sleep quality of firefighters.

Results: Three hundred thirty-seven firefighters (59.3%) have poor sleep quality. Compared to day workers, the odds ratios (ORs) of poor sleep quality were 2.169 (95% confidence interval: 1.137-4.134) in 6-day cycle, 2.161 (1.150-4.062) in 9-day cycle, 1.805 (1.087-2.997) in 21-day cycle, and 1.485 (0.718-3.069) in 3-day cycle. The ORs of poor sleep quality were 1.697(1.021-2.823) in fire suppression and 2.325 (1.213-4.455) in emergency medical service compared to administration.

Conclusions: All shift work type except for the 3-day cycle was associated with poor sleep quality compared to day work.

韩国消防员轮班工作类型与睡眠质量的关系。

背景:轮班工作会干扰正常的睡眠模式，这被认为是睡眠障碍的一个原因，并且已经通过不同的职业群体进行了研究。然而，目前尚不清楚哪种轮班方式对睡眠健康更好。方法:本研究纳入568名消防员。采用匹兹堡睡眠质量指数评价睡眠质量。睡眠质量分为两组;质量好(≤5分)，质量差(≥6分)。人口统计变量、抑郁、焦虑、轮班类型和工作通过自我报告问卷收集。采用χ2检验、t检验和多元logistic回归分析评价轮班方式对消防员睡眠质量的影响。结果:337名消防员睡眠质量较差，占59.3%。与日工相比，6天周期睡眠质量差的比值比为2.169(95%可信区间为1.137 ~ 4.134)，9天周期为2.161(95%可信区间为1.150 ~ 4.062)，21天周期为1.805(95%可信区间为1.087 ~ 2.997)，3天周期为1.485(95%可信区间为0.718 ~ 3.069)。与给药组相比，消防组睡眠质量差的or值为1.697(1.021 ~ 2.823)，急救组为2.325(1.213 ~ 4.455)。结论:与白班工作相比，除了3天轮班工作外，所有轮班工作类型都与睡眠质量差有关。
