- Abstract
COVID-19 pandemic has the potential to significantly affect the mental health of healthcare workers, who stand in the frontline of this crisis. Insomnia is often related to exposure to stressful situations, such as the current health crisis, as well as other mental disorders, physical conditions and work-related problems. The objectives of this systematic review were: 1) to examine the impact of the current health pandemic produced by COVID-19 on insomnia and sleep quality of health professionals, and 2) to identify risk factors associated with insomnia. After a literature search in MEDLINE, EMBASE, and PsycInfo, 18 relevant studies were identified. The prevalence of insomnia estimated by random effects meta-analysis was 38 % (95 % CI: 37 to 39 %), being slightly higher in women (29 %, 95 % CI: 27 % to 30 %) than in men (24 %, 95 % CI: 21 to 27 %). The main risk factor associated with insomnia was working in a high-risk environment, followed by female sex and having a lower educational level. The figures of self-reported insomnia and worse quality of sleep observed indicate the need to develop interventions aimed at mitigating and caring for the mental health of healthcare workers fighting against this pandemic.
