Resum

Objectives. To determine the characteristics of sleep patterns of primary health care professionals and their relation to continous medical attention and health care. Design. This is a multicenter, descriptive, cross-sectional study, consisting of a questionnaire completed by the participants. Setting. Toledo and Alcazar de San Juan health areas. Participants. General practitioners (GPs) and nurses. Main measurement. Sociodemographic, health care and characteristic sleep factors. Results. 281 professionals answered the questionnaire. Average age: 41.27 years (SD 8.76). 37.7% were men; 37.9% GPs; 72.2% were on duty. 31.7% reported that they have sleep disorders (CI 95% 26,65-38,46) irrespective of shift work, sex (31.6% men vs 31.2% women) or occupation (29.7% GPs vs 32.7% nurses). For 72.5% these sleep disorders infl uenced their daily activity and for 55.6% it infl uenced their behaviour. Of the professionals who were on duty, 18.8% took stimulants while doing shiftwork (there was no difference in sex or occupation) and 5.5% took sleeping pills, more GPs than nurses (10.7% vs 1.7%; χ2 7.66; p<0.01). A total of 47.7% said that they have made errors when they come off duty, more GPs (65.1% vs 34.8%;χ2 17.7, p< 0.001) and men (57.8% vs 39.4% ; χ2 6.63, p<0.05). A total of 29.6% had had an accident after a night shift. This was more frequent among nurses (21.2% vs 35%; χ2 4.57; p<0.05). 76.1% admitted having a worse behaviour towards patients after having been on a shift. Conclusions. The prevalence of sleep disorders is similar to those of the general population. Shiftwork does not seem to increase these disorders, although they could be associated with a poorer quality of medical care and an increase of risk factors.
