Abstract: Background: Napping in the workplace is under debate, with interesting results on work efficiency and well-being of workers. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we aimed to assess the benefits of a short daytime nap on cognitive performance. Methods: PubMed, Cochrane Library, ScienceDirect and PsycInfo databases were searched until 19 August 2021.

“…Even if we did not demonstrate that women were more at risk than male HCWs, women might be more at risk of PTSD [ 1 , 2 ], caused by the additional strain imposed because of their social roles [ 42 ]. Some studies showed that young adults may be at higher risk of PTSD [ 57 ]. Lack of experience [ 34 , 38 ] may be compensated by organizing teamwork between the older and younger HCWs [ 31 ].…”

This is especially true among healthcare workers (HCWs) and even more concerning in the Emergency Departments (ED) due to shifting work, fatigue and lack of sleep [ 1 ], poor food intake [ 2 ], and life-threatening emergencies in the context of overcrowding and job demands [ 3 , 4 ]. Currently, the best scale to assess stress levels at work is the job-demand-control-support model (JDCS), a self-reported psychological questionnaire created and validated by Karasek in 1981 [ 5 , 6 ].…”
