Impact of the work routine on the sleep quality of professionals in the mobile emergency care service

Abstract

SAMU professionals face high stress and sleep deprivation due to night shifts and intense emergencies, which affects their physical and mental health, including increased anxiety and difficulty concentrating (Azambuja et al., 2023; Andrechuk et al., 2023). Poor sleep quality, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, has significant negative impacts on the quality of life and performance of these professionals (Laurentino et al., 2022; Dal Pai et al., 2021). Interventions such as integrative practices and sleep health education programs are essential to improve these conditions (Silva Santos et al., 2021; Silva et al., 2022).
