| Abstract | |
This study aimed to verify whether sleep quality is a mediator of the relationship between burnout, stress and multisite pain in healthcare workers in a longitudinal study with 12 months of follow-up during the COVID-19 pandemic. Online questionnaires were used for data collection. The sociodemographic questionnaire contained personal and occupational data. The short version of the Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire (COPSOQ II-Br) was used to assess burnout and stress. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI-Br) assessed sleep quality over one month. The Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ) aimed to identify the presence of multisite musculoskeletal pain in the last 12 months and the last 7 days. Mediation analysis was used to verify whether the effect of the predictor variables (burnout and stress) on the dependent variable (number of pain sites in the last 12 months and 7 days) was due to an intervening variable (sleep quality). Stress and burnout were associated with multisite pain in healthcare workers in the last 12 months and the last 7 days. Sleep quality was a significant mediator of this association in the last 12 months, indicating that some of the association between burnout, stress and multisite pain can be explained by poor sleep quality. Thus, a comprehensive approach to long-term multisite pain should consider psychosocial aspects such as burnout, stress and sleep quality. (AU) | |
