影響台灣地區男性急診科醫師睡眠品質因子之探討

Investigation of Factors Associated with Sleep Quality Among Male Emergency Department Physicians in Taiwan

研究目的：探討影響台灣男性急診科醫師睡眠品質之因子。
研究方法：採橫斷式調查設計，於2011 年台灣急診醫學會會員大會暨學術研討會中發放問卷。問卷包括基本資料、生活型態、自覺健康狀況及睡眠品質量表。
結果：本研究受訪對象平均年齡為41.8 歲，匹茲堡睡眠品質量表平均得分為6.7分，61% 的受訪對象睡眠品質不良。單變項羅吉斯迴歸分析發現婚姻狀況、服務年資與自覺健康狀況共三項與睡眠品質有顯著關聯性。多變項羅吉斯迴歸分析則顯示工作職稱、服務年資、喝提神飲料及自覺健康狀況是影響睡眠品質不良的顯著獨立因子。
結論：超過6 成的台灣急診專科醫師睡眠品質不良，可見此問題值得重視。未來研究可進一步針對工作職稱服務年資影響睡眠品質背後的原因。

Purpose: To examine the factors associated with sleep quality among male emergency department physicians in Taiwan.
Methods: A cross-sectional survey study was used. Questionnaires were distributed to participants at the 2011 annual meeting of the Taiwan Society of Emergency Medicine. Information on basic characteristics, lifestyle factors, perceived health status, and sleep quality were ascertained from the questionnaire.
Results: The mean age of the participants was 41.8 years (standard deviation = 8.4 years). The Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index score was 6.7 and 61% of the participants had poor sleep quality. Univariate logistic regression indicated marital status, duration of services, and perceived health status were significantly associated with sleep quality. Multivariate logistic regression indicated job position, duration of services, use of energy drinks, and perceived health status were significant and independent factors associated with sleep quality.
Conclusions: Sleep quality of emergency department physicians is an important issue because over 60% of them had suffered from poor sleep quality. Future studies should investigate the underlying reasons of how job position and duration of services affect sleep quality in emergency department physicians.
