About this trial

In this study, medical staff in emergency and critical care departments were investigated. It was assumed that the use of sleep aids and dietary patterns affected their sleep quality. The structural equation model was used to analyze the status of sleep quality of medical staff in emergency and critical care departments, and to explore the effects of sleep aids and dietary patterns on sleep quality and its mechanism.

( 1 ) Is the overall sleep quality of medical staff in emergency and critical departments poor ( 2 ) Do medical staff with poor sleep quality in acute and critical departments use sleep aids more frequently ( 3 ) Is there a correlation between sleep quality and certain dietary patterns among medical staff in emergency and critical care departments ( 4 ) Are there significant differences in dietary choices among medical staff in emergency and critical departments using sleep aids
