Health care workers are at high risk of developing musculoskeletal symptoms and pain. This study tested the hypothesis that sleep deficiency is associated with pain, functional limitations, and physical limitations that interfere with work.
Hospital patient care workers completed a survey (79% response rate) including measures of health, sociodemographic, and workplace factors. Associations of sleep deficiency with pain, work interference due to this pain, and functional limitations were determined.
Of 1572 respondents (90% women; mean age, 41 years), 57% reported sleep deficiency, 73% pain in last 3 months, 33% work interference, and 18% functional limitation. Sleep deficiency was associated with higher rates of pain, work interference, and functional limitation controlling for socioeconomic, individual, and workplace characteristics.
Sleep deficiency is significantly associated with pain, functional limitation, and workplace interference, suggesting modifiable outcomes for workplace health and safety interventions.
医护人员罹患肌肉骨骼症状和疼痛的风险较高。本研究旨在验证睡眠不足与疼痛、因疼痛导致的功能受限以及影响工作的身体受限相关的假说。
医院病患护理人员完成了一项调查（应答率为 79%），其中包括健康、社会人口学和工作场所因素的测量。确定了睡眠不足与疼痛、因该疼痛导致的工作干扰以及功能受限之间的关联。
在 1572 名应答者中（90%为女性，平均年龄 41 岁），57%报告睡眠不足，73%在过去 3 个月有疼痛，33%有工作干扰，18%有功能受限。在控制了社会经济、个体和工作场所特征后，睡眠不足与更高的疼痛、工作干扰和功能受限发生率相关。
睡眠不足与疼痛、功能受限和工作场所干扰显著相关，提示可通过工作场所健康和安全干预来改善这些结果。
