“…Thus, concerning participants who reported sleep problems already at baseline, the ceiling effect prevents any increase over the follow-up. In another study (19), workplace bullying was not associated with poor quality of sleep among nurses' aides during a threemonth follow-up. However, the study was restricted to one female-dominated occupational group with a short follow-up period as well as limited measurement of both bullying and sleep (single item extracted from a questionnaire).…”

“…Sleep problems have been associated with sociodemographic and socioeconomic factors (2,35,36), working conditions (3, 3, 37), obesity (38)(39)(40), as well as mental and physical health (41,42). Bullying is also connected to similar factors (8,19,43). One might have assumed that these factors would contribute to the examined associations more consistently.…”

“…So far, there have been sparse studies about bullying and sleep and those that have been done were either cross-sectional (11) or focused on specific occupational groups with short follow-ups and small datasets (19,20). In an earlier study, sleep was examined as part of mental stress reactions to bullying (9).…”

“…In an earlier study, sleep was examined as part of mental stress reactions to bullying (9). A recent cross-sectional study suggests that workplace bullying is associated with sleep problems among women and men (11), whereas it was unrelated to subjective poor quality of sleep in a Norwegian study among nurses after a three-month follow-up (19). Workplace bullying may, nevertheless, have long-lasting effects as even past exposures to workplace bullying have turned out to be of importance (11).…”

Lallukka T, Rahkonen O, Lahelma E. Workplace bullying and subsequent sleep problems -the Helsinki Health Study. Scand J Work Environ Health. 2011;37(3):204-212. doi:10.5271/sjweh.3137 Objective The associations between workplace bullying and subsequent sleep problems are poorly understood.This study aims to address this evidence gap. MethodsWe used the Helsinki Health Study questionnaire survey data at baseline in 2000-2002 and follow-up in 2007 (N=7332). The 4-item Jenkins sleep questionnaire was used in both surveys. Two measures of workplace bullying asked whether the respondent had (i) reported being bullied and (ii) observed bullying. Logistic regression models were fitted, adjusting for age, childhood bullying, education, working conditions, obesity, common mental disorders, limiting long-standing illness, and baseline sleep problems.Results At baseline, 5% of women and men reported being currently bullied. Additionally, 9% of women and 7% of men had frequently observed bullying at their workplace. Adjusted for age, reporting bullying was associated with sleep problems at follow-up among women [odds ratio (OR) 1.69, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) 1.30-2.20] and men (OR 3.17, 95% CI 1.85-5.43). Also, reporting earlier bullying was associated with sleep problems among both women (OR 1.47, 95% CI 1.26-1.72) and men (OR 1.58, 95% CI 1.06-2.36). Separate adjustments for covariates had some effects on the associations. After full adjustment for childhood bullying and baseline sociodemographic factors, working conditions, health, and sleep problems, the associations reduced. Similarly, adjusted for age, observing bullying was associated with sleep problems among women (OR 2.00, 95% CI 1.61-2.48) and men (OR 2.04, 95% CI 1.23-3.39). ConclusionsWorkplace bullying is associated with sleep problems, but associations attenuate after factors related to the social environment, work, and health are simultaneously taken into account.

“…Table B of the Appendix (www.sjweh.fi/data_repository.php) presents detailed information on the 16 longitudinal studies included in this review. In most studies, a heterogeneous group of employees was examined (N=13, mixed occupations) (33,34,(41)(42)(43)(45)(46)(47)(48)(49)(50)(51)(52), and groups of mixed gender were investigated in the majority of studies [N=11; in two studies, groups with predominantly male participants were examined (46,53), and in three studies predominantly women (42,49,54)]. All but one study were performed in Western countries (33, 34, 41-43, 45-52, 54, 55) (N=15, mostly European).…”

Fresh as a daisy: Within‐person associations between sleep, vitality, and self‐ and other‐rated job performance

SummaryFrom a resource perspective, employees' sleep quality, sleep duration, and feelings of vitality are believed to predict important work‐related outcomes. However, many studies ignore the dynamic nature of the constructs or rely primarily on self‐reported data. Including both self‐ and other‐ratings of daily job performance, we examined the extent to which daily sleep quality and duration predict daily job performance, and whether these relationships are mediated by vitality. Student teachers (N = 165), internship supervisors (N = 97), and students (i.e., targets; N = 69 classes) participated in an experience sampling study with morning assessments of sleep duration and quality (n = 1,762 and n = 869), and two daily assessments of vitality (n = 2,207) and performance (self‐, supervisor‐, and target‐rated; n = 2,160, n = 1,113, and n = 1,087). Multilevel path analyses suggested that 1) sleep quality but not duration predicted individuals' vitality and self‐ and target‐rated job performance, 2) vitality was positively associated with performance according to each rating source, and 3) midday vitality did not predict afternoon performance, nor did it mediate the relationship between sleep and afternoon performance. Implications for theory and practice are discussed.

Work factors as predictors of poor sleep in nurses’ aides

Abstract: Psychosocial work factors which are likely to produce sustained arousal, such as frequent exposure to role conflicts and violence, may contribute to poor sleep in nurses' aides. Support and encouragement from superiors, and high control at work seem to reduce the risk of poor sleep.
