Abstract

Introduction: Although COVID-19 is no longer a public health emergency, its mental health effects on healthcare workers persist.

Aim: This study investigated the relationship between working conditions, sleep, and stress among Colombian hospital healthcare personnel during the pandemic.

Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 79 healthcare workers completed questionnaires on working conditions, stress, and sleep. Sleep duration was measured with Fitbit Armbands. Associations were analyzed using Generalized Linear Models with Gamma and ordinal distributions.

Results: Approximately 79% of participants reported high to very high stress levels (61% "very high," 18% "high"). Sleep complications were minimal, averaging 6.2 hours. Nurses showed significantly higher stress and longer sleep duration than administrative workers. Overtime correlated with less sleep, while workers who had COVID-19 reported lower stress.

Conclusion: The study highlights connections between stress, sleep, and working conditions, suggesting targeted health promotion programs could enhance work-life balance.

COVID-19大流行期间工作条件与哥伦比亚医护人员睡眠和压力之间的关系

导言：尽管COVID-19不再是突发公共卫生事件，但其对医护人员的心理健康影响仍然存在。目的：本研究调查了大流行期间哥伦比亚医院医护人员的工作条件、睡眠和压力之间的关系。方法：在横断面研究中，79名医护人员完成了关于工作条件、压力和睡眠的问卷调查。通过Fitbit臂带测量睡眠时间。使用Gamma和序数分布的广义线性模型分析关联。结果：大约79%的参与者报告高到非常高的压力水平（61%“非常高”，18%“高”）。睡眠并发症最少，平均6.2小时。护士的压力和睡眠时间明显高于行政人员。加班与睡眠减少相关，而感染COVID-19的员工的压力更低。结论：该研究强调了压力、睡眠和工作条件之间的联系，表明有针对性的健康促进计划可以提高工作与生活的平衡。
