Abstract Objective To analyze the discomfort and sleep quality of the front-line staff during an emergent respiratory infectious disease so as to provide data for the prevention and control of the epidemic.Methods Fifty-six medical front-line health care providers were selected as the subjects. The incidence of such discomfort as dizziness, palpitation, vomiting or syncope was investigated via a questionnaire. Twenty-nine of them felt unwell twice or less, who were assigned to the control group, while the rest of the staffs who reported discomfort at least twice served as the observation group. The age, BMI, amount of daily physical activity, the time of shift when discomfort occurred for the first time and sleep status were compared between the two groups.Results There was no significant difference in age, BMI, amounts of daily exercise, frequency of difficulty in falling asleep or actual length of sleep between the two groups. Cases of drug hypnosis in the observation group outnumbered those of the control group, and self-evaluation of sleep quality was lower(2.67±1.04 vs 3.24±0.95,P＜0.05). The difference was statistically significant. Among the 56 health care providers, 39 (69.64%) were on night shift when discomfort occurred for the first time, and the frequency of discomfort was negatively correlated with the self-assessment score of sleep quality(r=-0.345,P=0.009).Conclusions Discomfort among the front-line staff during the outbreak of a respiratory infectious disease is common, mainly at night, which may be related to the low quality of sleep.
