Sleep patterns and their associations with psychiatric symptoms among Chinese healthcare workers: a latent profile analysis.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Healthcare workers often encounter inadequate sleep conditions. However, limited research has examined the underlying sleep patterns among healthcare workers. This study aimed to identify sleep patterns in healthcare workers, explore predictors associated with various sleep patterns, and investigate the relationship between sleep patterns and psychiatric symptoms. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in Shenzhen, China, from April 2023 to June 2023. In total, data from 1,292 participants were included using a convenience sampling method. A latent profile analysis was conducted to identify sleep patterns based on the seven dimensions of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Multinomial logistic regression analysis was conducted to investigate the influence of socio-demographic variables on each profile. A one-way ANOVA test was employed to examine the relationships between sleep patterns and psychiatric symptoms. Results: Three distinct profiles were identified: good sleepers (63.9%), inefficient sleepers (30.3%), and poor sleepers (5.7%). Multinomial logistic regression analysis indicated that gender and marital status were predictors of various sleep patterns. The ANOVA revealed significant differences in psychiatric symptoms scores among the three sleep patterns; poor sleepers exhibited the highest levels of mental distress. Conclusion: This study identified three distinct sleep patterns in healthcare workers and their significant associations with psychiatric symptoms. These findings contribute to the development of targeted intervention strategies aimed at improving sleep and reducing psychiatric symptoms among healthcare workers.
