PG - 209-216 LID - 10.1007/s11325-018-1684-9 [doi] AB - OBJECTIVE: To investigate the prevalence and correlates of excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) in a population of hospital nurses in South China as well as the influence of EDS on the occurrence of adverse events. METHODS: A total of 1102 nurses working in a large medical center were invited to participate in this cross-sectional study (96.9% females, mean age 29.6 years). They all completed a self-reported questionnaire consisting of items on demographic variables, lifestyle factors, insomnia, anxiety, depression, and both work-related and sleep-related characteristics. RESULTS: A total of 1048 nurses gave a valid response (response rate 95.1%). Among them, 169 (16.1%) reported EDS as defined as an Epworth Sleepiness Scale >/= 14. Depression (adjusted odds ratio = 2.24, 95% confidence interval 1.51-3.31), anxiety (1.65; 1.02-2.67), insomnia (2.29; 1.56-3.36), rotating shift work (1.98; 1.03-3.83), and low interest in work (1.74; 1.01-2.99) were all independent risk factors of the occurrence of EDS. EDS is associated with the occurrence of adverse events after controlling for confounding factors (adjusted OR 1.83, CI 1.26 to 2.67). CONCLUSIONS: EDS was common among this relatively young and healthy nurse population in south China. There were clear associations between EDS and depression, anxiety, insomnia, rotating shift work, and low work-related interest. Furthermore, EDS was an independent risk factor in the occurrence of adverse events (AEs) in our subjects.
