Truck drivers' work organization requires that rest and sleep be taken in various locations, where sleep quality might be affected by the discomfort of these environments. The purpose of this study was to evaluate truck drivers' rest locations and their association with sleep quality utilizing an ergonomic approach.
The sleep quality of 81 truck drivers was assessed using the Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI). An adapted version of the ergonomics workplace analysis (EWA) instrument was used to evaluate 44 rest locations.
Half of the workers preferred sleeper berths (51.2%) as a rest place. Sleep was classified as poor by 71.6% of the drivers. Dorms were rated more positively (p<0.001) by truck drivers (2.0±1.1) than by the analyst (2.6±0.6). Sleeper berths and dorms were rated statistically different by truck drivers (p=0.002), as well as by the analyst (p=0.003). No correlation was found between EWA evaluations and total score for sleep quality. Separate analyses of dorms and truck berths showed very few correlations. The higher the noise of roommates in dorms, the worse the sleep quality. Conversely, noise in corridors or outside the room positively impacted sleep quality.
Noise in the rest place may affect sleep in both directions, negatively or positively. Sleep was classified as poor regardless of resting place. The quality of resting places seemed to have little effect on sleep quality of truck drivers. Factors other than rest place, such as work scheduling, are probably more important for promoting good sleep quality.
卡车司机的工作安排要求他们在不同地点休息和睡眠，而这些环境的不适可能会影响睡眠质量。本研究的目的是采用人体工程学方法评估卡车司机的休息地点及其与睡眠质量的关系。
使用匹兹堡睡眠质量指数（PSQI）评估81名卡车司机的睡眠质量。采用人体工程学工作场所分析（EWA）工具的改编版对44个休息地点进行评估。
一半的工人更喜欢卧铺（51.2%）作为休息场所。71.6%的司机睡眠被归类为较差。卡车司机对宿舍的评价更积极（p<0.001）（2.0±1.1），而分析师的评价为（2.6±0.6）。卡车司机对卧铺和宿舍的评价在统计学上有差异（p=0.002），分析师的评价也有差异（p=0.003）。EWA评估与睡眠质量总分之间未发现相关性。对宿舍和卡车卧铺的单独分析显示相关性很少。宿舍里室友的噪音越大，睡眠质量越差。相反，走廊或房间外的噪音对睡眠质量有积极影响。
休息场所的噪音可能对睡眠产生正反两方面的影响。无论休息场所如何，睡眠都被归类为较差。休息场所的质量似乎对卡车司机的睡眠质量影响不大。工作安排等休息场所以外的因素可能对促进良好的睡眠质量更为重要。
