This research on sleep disturbances emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our study investigated the association between self-reported sleep disturbances among teleworkers and the preventive measures employers took to improve their working environment. Answers obtained via a web survey gathered from 1086 teleworkers (517 in the spring of 2021 and 569 in the spring of 2022) were analysed. The odds of self-reported sleep disturbances were significantly higher for all preventive measures in the group of respondents reporting a lack of a particular measure. The highest odds ratios were observed for the statement "My employer identified conditions where I am teleworking" (adjusted OR = 2.98, 95% CI 2.10-4.23) and "Online team-building events were organised" (adjusted OR = 2.85, 95% CI 1.88-4.35). The results of our study have revealed that workplace interventions that serve as a mediator for sleep disorders, even if they are not directly targeted at managing sleep disturbances or stress, can reduce the number of teleworkers reporting sleep disturbances. According to our knowledge, this is the first study reporting the effectiveness of employer interventions that help teleworkers manage their sleep disturbances.
这项关于睡眠障碍的研究出现在新冠疫情期间。我们的研究调查了远程工作者自我报告的睡眠障碍与雇主为改善其工作环境所采取的预防措施之间的关联。对通过网络调查从1086名远程工作者（2021年春季517名，2022年春季569名）那里获得的答案进行了分析。在报告缺乏某项特定措施的受访者群体中，所有预防措施下自我报告睡眠障碍的几率都显著更高。对于“我的雇主确定了我远程工作的条件”这一表述（调整后的比值比=2.98，95%置信区间2.10-4.23）以及“组织了在线团队建设活动”（调整后的比值比=2.85，95%置信区间1.88-4.35），观察到的比值比最高。我们的研究结果表明，即使工作场所干预并非直接针对管理睡眠障碍或压力，但作为睡眠障碍调解因素的工作场所干预可以减少报告有睡眠障碍的远程工作者数量。据我们所知，这是第一项报告雇主干预措施对帮助远程工作者管理其睡眠障碍有效性的研究。
