“…In fact, 45% of farmworkers who had indicated they had good sleep quality reported having air conditioning in the housing unit [89]. Finally, in 2016 he reported that sleep quality can be influenced by long hours of work (61% worked more than 40 hours/weekly), pesticide exposure (those reporting moderate pesticide exposure were least likely to report poor sleep quality), and elevated depressive symptoms (p < 0.001) [90].…”

Migrant Workers and Psychological Health: A Systematic Review

Migrant workers show an increase in the incidence of serious, psychotic, anxiety, and post-traumatic disorders due to a series of socio-environmental variables, such as loss of social status, discrimination, and separations from the family. The purpose is to elaborate a systematic review and highlight the prevailing psychological pathologies of these workers and categories most at risk. Our research included articles published from 2009 to 2019 on the major databases (Pub Med, Cochrane Library, and Scopus) using a combination of some keywords. The online search indicated 1.228 references. Using inclusion and exclusion criteria, we analyzed 127 articles, in particular 12 reviews and 115 original articles. Principal emerging disorders from the research are depressive syndrome (poor concentration at work, feeling down, or anger and somatization), anxiety, alcohol or substance abuse, and poor sleep quality. This causes low life conditions, which is also due to marginalization from the social context and strenuous work; in fact, migrant workers may suffer verbal or physical abuse, and they are often employed in dangerous, unhealthy jobs. It is therefore essential to increase the role of occupational medicine and promote wellbeing for this vulnerable job category.

“…Pesticide spray practice and the corresponding level of protection reveal an important exposure pathway, with little or no protection increasing the possibility of pesticide exposure and negative effects on health. [21] Poor behavior in relation to pesticide use was found in our study to have an increased odds ratio of poor sleep quality and nightmare frequency; therefore, given that a negative relationship between lengthy working hours and workers’ sleep quality has been found among agricultural workers [22] and that long-term organophosphorus exposure has been observed to negatively influence sleep quality among Chinese farmers; [23] our findings in conjunction with previous findings suggest that poor behavior concerning pesticide use is likely to increase the intensity levels of pesticide exposure, requiring improvements and reform in the provisions and regulations concerning protection equipment for farmers. Reduced sleep quality is associated with metabolic syndrome, [24] youth ischemic stroke, [25] and poorer health.…”

“…The final model focuses on shift work, job demands, exposure to hazards in work environments, and chronic fatigue as direct predictors, which reflects both the original model and the findings of previous studies (Han et al, 2016; Hope, Øverland, Brun, & Matthiesen, 2010; Sandberg et al, 2016). More frequent night-shift work, implying more artificial light exposure and daytime sleep, negatively affects the normal circadian system, which regulates human sleep, suppresses daytime sleep, and promotes the secretion of melatonin (Korompeli et al, 2013).…”

“…Enforced night-shift work may help explain why night-shift nurses face a high risk of poor sleep quality. There is scholarly consensus that more demanding work schedules increase the risk of sleep problems (Sandberg et al, 2016; Van Doorn et al, 2016). Excessive demands put employees at a greater risk of psychologically and physiologically exhaustion, which are known to impair normal sleep patterns.…”

“…In addition, lacking support at work was found to be correlated with the increased reporting of sleep problems (Akerstedt et al, 2012). As illustrated by the demand–control model, job strain in workers that results from overwhelming demands and limited control coupled with little support in turn affects their physical and mental health (Sandberg et al, 2016).…”

BackgroundGood sleep is essential to human health. Insufficient quality sleep may compromise the wellness of nurses and even jeopardize the safety of patients. Although the contributors of sleep quality in nurses have been previously studied, the direct and indirect effects of modifiable work-related predictors remain uncertain.PurposeThe study was designed to explore the direct and indirect effects of modifiable work-related factors on sleep quality in Chinese nurses.MethodsA multistage sampling method was employed in this cross-sectional study to recruit 923 participants. An evidence-based predicting model was postulated and then subsequently tested and optimized using path analysis.ResultsThe final model fit the data well, with the involved predictors accounting for 34.1% of the variance in sleep quality of the participants. Shift work, job demands, exposure to hazards in work environments, chronic fatigue, and inter-shift recovery were identified as direct predictors, while whereas job satisfaction, job control, support at work, and acute fatigue were identified as indirect predictors.Conclusions/Implications for PracticeSleep quality in Chinese nurses is influenced directly and indirectly by various modifiable work-related factors. Interventions such as adjusting work shifts and reducing job burdens should be prioritized by administrative staff to ensure the sleep quality and clinical performance of Chinese nurses and to subsequently improve nursing care quality.
