Study: More than one-third of medical staff responding to coronavirus suffer from insomnia
"The most important factor was having very strong uncertainty regarding effective disease control among medical staff," Zhang noted. This strong uncertainty, the scientists added, was 3.3 times higher for those exhibiting insomnia than not. The researchers found the risk of insomnia among medical staff with a high school education, or below was 2.69 times higher than those with a doctoral degree. They speculated that less education may be leading to more outcome-based fear. The study also noted that the healthcare workers were under incredible stress in general.
Since the workers were in close contact with infected patients who could pass on the disease to them, they were worried about infecting their own family and friends. The medical staff also had to wear a full array of personal protective equipment (PPE) for more than 12 hours at a time, often without being able to take a break because they risked infection by removing PPE, the study explained. "Under these dangerous conditions, medical staff become mentally and physically exhausted, and therefore experience an increased risk of insomnia due to high stress," the scientists wrote in the study.
According to the researchers, some strategies may help mitigate sleep disorders, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBTI), which includes sleep hygiene education, relaxation therapy, stimulation control, sleep restriction, and cognitive therapy. The scientists suggested that health officials screen medical staff based on the risk factors identified in the study. "A longitudinal study to track the changes of insomnia symptoms is needed among medical staff, especially when the death of medical staff during COVID-19 will be officially announced and updated," Zhang added.
