Alcohol use among workers that is intended to aid sleep may lead to alcohol use disorders. This study aimed to explore the association between sleep patterns and alcohol use disorders in workers. Data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey conducted in 2014, 2016, 2018, and 2020 were used for this study. We included only workers aged 19 years and older. The final analysis comprised 11,972 respondents (6,472 male and 5,500 female). Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the relationship between sleep patterns and alcohol use disorders. Workers with poor sleep patterns were more likely to develop alcohol use disorders compared to those with good sleep patterns (male: adjusted odds ratio [OR] 1.22, 95% confidence interval 1.07-1.39; female: adjusted OR 1.21, 95% CI 1.03-1.41). Workers with both poor sleep quality and less than seven hours of sleep had the highest odds of alcohol use disorders in both male (adjusted OR 1.73, 95% CI 1.38-2.17) and female (adjusted OR 1.44, 95% CI 1.13-1.84). Poor sleep patterns were associated with alcohol use disorders in male who work night shift (OR: 1.74, 95% CI: 1.25-2.42) and in female who worked more than 52 hours per week (adjusted OR: 1.71, 95% CI: 1.04-2.80). Customized sleep management programs should be provided to workers in sleep-deprived working environments to prevent them from developing alcohol use disorders.
工人中为助眠而饮酒可能会导致酒精使用障碍。本研究旨在探讨工人的睡眠模式与酒精使用障碍之间的关联。本研究使用了 2014 年、2016 年、2018 年和 2020 年进行的韩国国家健康和营养检查调查的数据。我们仅纳入了 19 岁及以上的工人。最终分析包括 11972 名受访者（6472 名男性和 5500 名女性）。使用多变量逻辑回归分析来研究睡眠模式与酒精使用障碍之间的关系。与睡眠模式良好的工人相比，睡眠模式差的工人更有可能患上酒精使用障碍（男性：调整后的优势比 [OR] 1.22，95%置信区间 1.07-1.39；女性：调整后的 OR 1.21，95%CI 1.03-1.41）。睡眠质量差且睡眠时间少于 7 小时的工人，无论男性（调整后的 OR 1.73，95%CI 1.38-2.17）还是女性（调整后的 OR 1.44，95%CI 1.13-1.84），发生酒精使用障碍的可能性最高。睡眠模式差与上夜班的男性（OR：1.74，95%CI：1.25-2.42）和每周工作超过 52 小时的女性（调整后的 OR：1.71，95%CI：1.04-2.80）发生酒精使用障碍相关。应该为处于睡眠剥夺工作环境中的工人提供定制的睡眠管理计划，以防止他们患上酒精使用障碍。
