Sleep analysis of hospital and out-of-hospital emergency professionals.

Introduction: Sleep deprivation is associated with poorer cognitive functioning and a greater risk of serious diseases. Herein, we analyzed differences in the quality of sleep and excessive daytime sleepiness between hospital emergency services and out-of-hospital emergencies services, and investigated its association with sociodemographic and labor variables.

Method: This is a cross-sectional observational study carried out between April 2019 and February 2020, including healthcare professionals from different emergency departments, who were evaluated through the following instruments: "Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index" and "Epworth Sleepiness Scale".

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on stress and sleep in emergency room professionals.

Background: ER healthcare professionals are exposed to high stress levels, and they often present with poor sleep quality.

Design: Observational study conducted into two different phases (before the COVID-19 and during the first wave of the COVID-19).

Stress in Emergency Healthcare Professionals: The Stress Factors and Manifestations Scale.

Background: Healthcare workers are continuously exposed to a high level of stress, especially emergency department professionals. In the present research, we aimed to determine the internal consistency and validity of the Stress Factors and Manifestations Scale for in-hospital and out-of-hospital emergency workers. Methods: A quantitative, prospective, cross-sectional, and observational study including 269 emergency service professionals.
