睡眠问题困扰着医护人员

Many health care workers on the front lines of the coronavirus pandemic are struggling with sleep, a new study finds.

一项新的研究发现，在冠状病毒大流行的前线，许多医护人员正在与睡眠作斗争。

The researchers also found that those with insomnia were more likely to have depression, anxiety and stress-based trauma.

研究人员还发现，那些患有失眠症的人更有可能患有抑郁症、焦虑症和压力性创伤。

The study included nearly 1,600 health care workers who completed an online questionnaire between January 29 and February 3.

这项研究包括近1600名医护人员，他们在1月29日至2月3日期间完成了一份在线问卷调查。

Two-thirds (36%) reported insomnia symptoms. Overall rates of depression were much higher among those with insomnia (87%) than among those without insomnia (31%), and especially for moderate (23% versus 3%) and severe (17% versus 2%) depression.

三分之二(36%)报告有失眠症状。 总体而言，失眠症患者的抑郁症发病率(87%)远高于无失眠症患者(31%) ，尤其是中度抑郁症患者(23% 对3%)和重度抑郁症患者(17% 对2%)。

The percentages and differences between those with and without insomnia were similar for anxiety and stress-based trauma, according to the study published April 14 in the journal Frontiers in Psychiatry.

根据4月14日发表在《精神病学前沿》(Frontiers in Psychiatry)杂志上的研究，失眠患者和不失眠患者在焦虑和应激性创伤中的比例和差异类似。

The most important factor associated with insomnia among health care workers was strong uncertainty about effective disease control among medical staff. Strong uncertainty was 3.3 times higher among those with insomnia than those without it, the findings showed.

与医护人员失眠相关的最重要因素，是医护人员对有效控制疾病的强烈不确定性。研究结果显示，失眠患者的强烈不确定性是正常人的3.3倍。

Lower levels of education were also associated with insomnia. Health care workers with a high school education or less were 2.7 times more likely to have insomnia than those with a doctoral degree, according to the report.

受教育程度低也与失眠有关。报告显示，高中及以下学历的医护人员患失眠的几率是博士的2.7倍。

Workers with less education may be more likely to be fearful, study co-author Bin Zhang, a professor at Southern Medical University in Guangzhou, China, and colleagues suggested.

研究报告的作者之一、广州南方医科大学教授张斌(音)及其同事表示，受教育程度较低的员工可能更容易感到害怕。
