Healthcare professionals sacrifice their sleep for increased patient care. However, this could be detrimental to their selves and the quality of healthcare service. This study used the Conservation of Resources Theory (COR) to examine the integration between the workaholic tendency of healthcare professionals and their daily sleep deprivation to determine the extent of their self-balance. The researchers used a time-lag design to measure the workaholic tendency of healthcare professionals (Total = 422 of 282 doctors and 140 nurses), observed their sleep patterns over one working week, and obtained their ratings of self-life balance. This study revealed that the relationship between workaholism and sleep deprivation and the relation between sleep deprivation and work-self balance was significant for doctors only. However, the mediating role of daily sleep deprivation between workaholism and self-balance was non-significant. This study offers some practical implications by highlighting the positive role of work and the negative role of daily sleep deprivation in maintaining self-balance for healthcare professionals.
医护人员为了增加病人护理而牺牲睡眠。然而，这可能对他们自己和医疗服务质量有害。本研究使用资源保存理论（COR）来检查医护人员的工作狂倾向与其日常睡眠剥夺之间的整合，以确定他们自我平衡的程度。研究人员采用时间滞后设计来衡量医护人员的工作狂倾向（共 422 名医生和 140 名护士），观察他们一周的睡眠模式，并获得他们对自我生活平衡的评价。本研究表明，工作狂倾向与睡眠剥夺之间的关系以及睡眠剥夺与工作自我平衡之间的关系仅对医生有意义。然而，日常睡眠剥夺在工作狂和自我平衡之间的中介作用不显著。本研究通过强调工作的积极作用和日常睡眠剥夺对维持医护人员自我平衡的消极作用，提供了一些实际意义。
