“…Four studies included nurses, one study included both nurses and therapists, and three included healthcare providers. The coping methods vary, including online interventional programs, 14 , 16 , 17 , 19 , 20 video-based programs, 18 and pharmacological treatment. 15 Among all coping strategies, online programs were most frequently used, including an online ambulatory intervention (expressive writing, adaptive emotion regulation activity, and positive emotion-generation activities), an online mindfulness-based stress reduction program, an e-aid cognitive behavioral therapy, and a PsyCovidApp targeting emotional skills, healthy lifestyle behavior, burnout, and social support.…”

Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak might have a psychological impact on frontline healthcare workers. However, the effectiveness of coping strategies was less reported. Objectives: We aimed to investigate the sources of stress and coping strategies among frontline healthcare workers fighting against COVID-19. We also performed a literature review regarding the effects of coping methods on psychological health in this population. Methods: We included frontline healthcare workers who completed an online survey using self-made psychological stress questionnaires in a cross-sectional study. We evaluated the association between potential factors and high-stressed status using a logistic regression model. We performed the principal component analysis with varimax rotation for factor analysis. We also performed a systematic review of published randomized controlled studies that reported the effects of coping methods on psychological health in COVID-19 healthcare workers. Results: We included 107 [32 (29–36) years] respondents in the final analysis, with a response rate of 80.5%. A total of 41 (38.3%) respondents were high-stressed. Compared with the low-stressed respondents, those with high-stress were less likely to be male (46.3% versus 72.7%, p = 0.006), nurses (36.6% versus 80.3%, p < 0.001), and more likely to have higher professional titles ( p = 0.008). The sources of high-stress in frontline healthcare workers were categorized into ‘work factor’, ‘personal factor’, and ‘role factor’. A narrative synthesis of the randomized controlled studies revealed that most of the coping methods could improve the psychological stress in healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that some frontline healthcare workers experienced psychological stress during the early pandemic. Effective coping strategies are required to help relieve the stress in this population.

“…Two randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT‐I) demonstrated significant improvements in healthcare workers on the COVID‐19 front line. The first utilized CBT‐I delivered electronically in nurses with chronic insomnia ( n = 118) and resulted in significant improvements in sleep quality, insomnia, anxiety and depression 7 . The second was a preliminary study that administered shortened, simplified one‐shot CBT‐I to frontline healthcare providers with acute insomnia ( n = 57) achieving a significant fall in Insomnia Severity Index score from 13.3 to 6.7 8 .…”

SUMMARY OF KEY POINTS COVID‐19 and sleep The COVID‐19 pandemic is associated with an increase in insomnia and impaired sleep quality Health care workers are particularly susceptible and improved with cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT‐I) Long COVID has significant effects on sleep OSA impacts on the severity of acute COVID‐19 illness Obstructive sleep apnoea Large trials of clinically representative patients confirm the cardiovascular benefits of CPAP treatment in OSA CPAP may improve long‐term cognitive outcomes in OSA, but further research is needed Racial disparities in OSA prevalence and mortality risk are becoming evident Periodic evaluation of OSA risk in pregnancy is important as timing may be key for intervention to prevent or treat cardiovascular risk factors Insomnia Comorbid insomnia and obstructive sleep apnoea (COMISA) can frequently co‐exist and the combined negative effects of both may be deleterious, particularly to cardiovascular health There is evidence for effectiveness with novel orexin receptor antagonists

Nurses are at a high risk for short sleep duration and poor sleep quality due to irregular work schedules and high occupational stress. Considering the effect of nurses' sleep on the safety and health of themselves and their patients, it is important to promote healthy sleep for nurses. We sought to synthesize the published experimental and quasi‐experimental studies that address interventions to improve sleep in nurses. A systematic search was conducted for studies published in English up until May 15, 2023, using the databases PubMed, CINAHL, Academic Search Ultimate, and PsycINFO. In total, 38 articles were included, covering 22 experimental and 16 quasi‐experimental studies with sample sizes ranging from 9 to 207. Studies were assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool and considered as low to medium quality. Thirty‐six of the 38 studies reported positive findings for at least one sleep outcome. Intervention types included aroma therapy, dietary supplements, cognitive behavioral therapy, light therapy, mind‐body therapy, sleep education, exercise, napping, shift schedule modification, and multicomponent intervention, all of which showed moderate effectiveness in promoting sleep outcomes of nurses. Comparing and contrasting studies on specific interventions for improving sleep in nurses is sparse and often equivocal. With the variations of research methodology and outcome measures, it is difficult to make a conclusion about each intervention's effectiveness on specific sleep outcomes. Additional high‐quality research, including randomized controlled trials, is needed to evaluate strategies for improving sleep in this unique, safety‐sensitive occupational group.
