Part-time farmers who hold off-farm jobs may be at risk for injuries because of impaired performance resulting from inadequate sleep. For this study, 1004 part-time male Kentucky farmers completed a telephone interview for the 1994 to 1995 National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health-funded Farm Family Health and Hazard Surveillance Project. Questions were included about demographics, sleep habits, and injury occurrence. Twelve percent of the farmers reported an injury requiring medical intervention in the previous year. Farmers reported sleeping an average of 7.6 hours daily. Approximately 6.7% of the sample had three symptoms of sleep apnea. Although hours of sleep were not related to injury incidence, sleep medication use (odds ratio [OR] = 2.11, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.01 to 4.40) and presence of three sleep apnea symptoms (OR = 2.48, 95% CI = 1.13 to 5.41) were related to injury incidence. These data support the need for further research to examine sleep habits and promote strategies that reduce the risk for injuries caused by lack of sleep.
从事非农业工作的兼职农民可能因睡眠不足导致身体机能受损而面临受伤风险。在这项研究中，1004名肯塔基州的兼职男性农民参与了1994年至1995年由美国国家职业安全与健康研究所资助的农场家庭健康与危害监测项目的电话访谈。问题涵盖人口统计学、睡眠习惯和受伤情况。12%的农民报告在前一年受过需要医疗干预的伤。农民们报告平均每天睡眠7.6小时。约6.7%的样本有三种睡眠呼吸暂停症状。虽然睡眠时间与受伤发生率无关，但使用助眠药物（比值比[OR]=2.11，95%置信区间[CI]=1.01至4.40）和出现三种睡眠呼吸暂停症状（OR=2.48，95%CI=1.13至5.41）与受伤发生率有关。这些数据支持有必要进行进一步研究以调查睡眠习惯，并推广降低因睡眠不足导致受伤风险的策略。
