“…Generally, based on hazard ratios of 3-year data, the results of the current study suggest that nurses have lower hazards of treated anxiety and depression than the general population, although they have a higher hazard of treated insomnia. This latter result is partially consistent with that of a previously reported study, which found that healthcare-seeking nurses were at higher risks for some subtypes of insomnia[ 4 ]. Due to the abundant evidence of higher prevalences of depression and anxiety among nurses than among the general population[ 7 – 14 ], the apparent undertreatment of these problems among the nurses in the present study may be due to resistance or other barriers to help-seeking.…”

The high level of occupational stress and burnout among nurses can lead to behavioral health problems and psychiatric morbidity, including insomnia [ 4 6 ], anxiety [ 7 – 10 ], depression [ 7 , 10 14 ], and substance use [ 15 17 ].…”

“…These challenges increase anxiety and psychological trauma. Previous studies have shown that exposure to work shifts and unusual work schedules causes sleep disturbances, and the prevalence of sleep disturbances in night shift nurses has been reported as 32.6% [31,32]. Epidemics have always been a factor impacting the mental health of health care workers.…”

“…The particularity of the medical service industry leads to an increased risk of sleep disorders among medical workers [ 7 ]. The sleep condition of nursing staff is not favorable, and the detection rate of sleep problems is much higher than that in the general population, mainly manifested as insomnia, less effective sleep time, and low sleep quality [ 8 , 9 ]. Many studies on sleep quality have shown that there is a very close relationship between population characteristics, working conditions, and living habits [ 10 , 11 ].…”
