Abstract

Purpose: The sleep quality of police officers working in shifts is negatively affected due to long working hours and sleeping less during the day. In our study, we aimed to examine the differences in sleep quality and time management skills in police officers working with shift and non-shift system.

Methods: 106 police officers, 46 of whom worked in the shift system, 60 of whom worked in the non-shift system, and whose mean age was 27.6 ± 0.9 [min 20, max 40] were included in the study. Sleep quality was assessed with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index[PSQI] and time management skills with the Time Management Questionnaire[TMQ].

Results: While the TMQ total score was 80.91 ± 12.61 for police officers working in shifts, it was 72.41 ± 12.62 for police officers working non-shift. The PSQI total score was 5 in both groups. There was a difference between the TMQ time planning, TMQ time attitudes sub-dimensions, and TMQ total scores of police officers working in the shift system and those working in the non-shift system[p < 0.05]. While poor sleep quality was observed between both groups, there was no difference in sleep quality[p > 0.05].

Conclusion: There was no difference in sleep quality between police officers working in shifts and non-shifts. However, the time management skills of police officers working in shifts were better than those of police officers working in non-shifts. We believe that training programs to improve sleep health and time management skills in police officers are needed for both the sleep quality and well-being of police officers and public safety.

对轮班和非轮班警员的睡眠质量和时间管理技能进行比较分析。

目的：轮班工作的警察由于工作时间长，白天睡得少，睡眠质量受到负面影响。我们的研究旨在探讨轮班制和非轮班制警察在睡眠质量和时间管理技能方面的差异。方法：研究对象包括 106 名警察，其中 46 人从事轮班工作，60 人从事非轮班工作，平均年龄为 27.6 ± 0.9 [最小 20 岁，最大 40 岁]。研究采用匹兹堡睡眠质量指数[PSQI]评估睡眠质量，采用时间管理问卷[TMQ]评估时间管理技能：轮班警员的 TMQ 总分为 80.91 ± 12.61，而非轮班警员的 TMQ 总分为 72.41 ± 12.62。两组的 PSQI 总分均为 5 分。轮班制警察与非轮班制警察的 TMQ 时间规划、TMQ 时间态度子维度和 TMQ 总分存在差异[P0.05]：轮班制和非轮班制警察的睡眠质量没有差异。但是，轮班制警察的时间管理技能优于非轮班制警察。我们认为，为了警察的睡眠质量和福祉以及公共安全，有必要开展培训计划，以改善警察的睡眠健康和时间管理技能。
