To estimate the prevalence of sleep medication and melatonin use among nurses and to assess if factors related to work, sleep or mental health, were associated with such use.
A cross-sectional study.
A questionnaire survey including 2,798 Norwegian nurses. Associations were estimated using a modified Poisson regression model.
In total, 7.5%, 4.6% and 2.0% of the nurses included in the present study reported prescribed sleep medication, over-the-counter sleep medication or melatonin use in the last year, respectively. Short sleep duration, sleep problems and psychological conditions were strongly associated with both prescribed and over-the-counter sleep medication use. Nurses who worked more than 60 night shifts in the last year were at increased risk of sleep medication use.
评估护士中睡眠药物和褪黑素使用的流行率，并评估与工作、睡眠或心理健康相关的因素是否与这种使用有关。
横断面研究。
对包括 2798 名挪威护士在内的问卷调查。使用改良的泊松回归模型估计关联。
在本研究中，总共 7.5%、4.6%和 2.0%的护士分别报告在过去一年中使用了处方睡眠药物、非处方睡眠药物或褪黑素。睡眠时间短、睡眠问题和心理状况与处方和非处方睡眠药物的使用均密切相关。在过去一年中，上夜班超过 60 次的护士使用睡眠药物的风险增加。
