Abstract:   (697 Views)
Introduction: Sleep disturbances and occupational stress are common issues that can significantly impact individuals' physical, mental, and social well-being. Due to the continuous demands of patient care, hospital staff are particularly vulnerable to both occupational stress and sleep-related issues. This study aims to examine the relationship between sleep parameters and occupational stress among hospital employees. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study included 151 hospital employees selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Demographic data, including age, gender, work shift, occupation, physical activity, and substance use, were collected via a questionnaire. Sleep parameters, including sleep quality, insomnia, and daytime sleepiness, were assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), and Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), respectively. Job stress levels were measured with the HSE questionnaire. Results: The mean PSQI score was 6.5 ± 3.5, reflecting poor sleep quality. The mean ISI score was 36.4 ± 12.3, indicating sub-threshold insomnia among participants. The mean ESS score was 8.24 ± 4.8, suggesting a moderate level of daytime sleepiness. Job stress was significantly influenced by workplace relationships and support from colleagues. Notably, significant correlations were found between PSQI and ESS scores with job stress, while no such relationship was observed for ISI scores. Furthermore, PSQI scores were significantly associated with the job control and job stress change subscales, while ESS scores showed significant associations with colleague support and the job stress change subscale. Conclusion: The findings revealed a significant relationship between sleep quality and daytime sleepiness with job stress. This underscores the importance of implementing targeted interventions to address sleep disturbances and mitigate job stress among hospital staff.
