Abstract

Recent demographic developments in Europe have increased the demand for home care. Working in other people’s home environment is challenging. Home care personnel’s musculoskeletal disorders are common, and care personnel overall often have sleep disturbances. In this study, associations between occupational physical and psychosocial factors and possible sleep-related problems among home care personnel were explored using a questionnaire. The questionnaire was distributed to 19 workplaces in Stockholm County in 2017–2019, and 665 home care personnel answered. Several factors, including job contentment, physical burden of care, client-related burnout, quantitative demands, and pain, were significantly associated with sleep-related problems. The results highlight the need for implementing measures to improve psychosocial and organizational working conditions in home care service.

家庭护理人员睡眠相关问题及其与职业因素的关系

欧洲最近的人口发展增加了对家庭护理的需求。在别人的家里工作很有挑战性。家庭护理人员的肌肉骨骼疾病很常见，护理人员总体上经常有睡眠障碍。在这项研究中，使用问卷调查了家庭护理人员的职业身体和心理社会因素与可能的睡眠相关问题之间的关系。2017年至2019年，该问卷被分发到斯德哥尔摩县的19个工作场所，665名家庭护理人员进行了回答。几个因素，包括工作满意度、身体护理负担、与客户相关的倦怠、数量需求和疼痛，与睡眠相关问题显著相关。研究结果强调，有必要采取措施改善家庭护理服务的心理社会和组织工作条件。

期刊介绍： The Nordic Journal of Working Life Studies is an international, scientific journal on working life, written in English. The journal is edited by an Editorial Board of 8-15 Editors from Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden and Denmark. The journal aims to strengthen the exchange of experiences, perspectives, methods and outcomes of the Nordic working life research across the Nordic countries, and promote Nordic working life research internationally. The mission of the journal is to present studies concerning changes in work and how these changes affect qualifications, health, occupation, innovation, economy, identity, social orientation and culture. The journal aims at an interdisciplinary profile. Most of the articles in the journal have authors from the Nordic countries, but researchers from outside the Nordic region are also invited to contribute to the journal, to the extent that such contributions improve the understanding of Nordic conditions.
