Abstract

Background: Understanding of hazardous alcohol drinking and insomnia among Australian ambulance personnel is limited. Australian ambulance organizations have strengthened their organizational human resource management (HRM) to promote their employees' healthy lifestyles, health and well-being.

Aims: To describe the prevalence of hazardous alcohol consumption and insomnia among Australian ambulance personnel and to explore their associations with the organizational HRM strength.

Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 492 ambulance personnel randomly selected from three Australian states. The Alcohol Use Disorders tool, The Insomnia Severity Index and the Perceived HRM System Strength instrument measured alcohol consumption, insomnia and HRM strength. Descriptive analyses, bivariate association analyses and general linear models were used for data analysis.

Results: Twenty per cent of Australian ambulance personnel consumed alcohol at a hazardous level and 68% experienced clinically significant insomnia. There was no significant association between organizational HRM strength and ambulance personnel's hazardous alcohol consumption. There was a significant association between organizational HRM strength (consensus) and ambulance personnel's insomnia experience.

Conclusions: Hazardous alcohol consumption and insomnia were concerns among Australian ambulance personnel. Even though strengthening the HRM system might reduce their experience of insomnia, simply strengthening the HRM system could not reduce their hazardous alcohol consumption.

员工饮酒、失眠与人力资源管理实力之间的关联。

背景：人们对澳大利亚救护人员的有害饮酒和失眠情况了解有限。目的：描述澳大利亚救护人员中危险饮酒和失眠的普遍程度，并探讨其与组织人力资源管理强度的关系：这项横断面研究从澳大利亚三个州随机抽取了492名救护人员。酒精使用障碍工具、失眠严重程度指数和感知人力资源管理系统强度工具测量了酒精消耗、失眠和人力资源管理强度。数据分析采用了描述性分析、二元关联分析和一般线性模型：结果：20%的澳大利亚救护人员的饮酒量达到了危险水平，68%的救护人员有明显的临床失眠症状。组织人力资源管理强度与救护人员的危险饮酒量之间没有明显联系。组织人力资源管理强度（共识）与救护人员的失眠经历之间存在明显关联：结论：危险饮酒和失眠是澳大利亚救护人员关注的问题。尽管加强人力资源管理制度可能会减少他们的失眠经历，但仅仅加强人力资源管理制度并不能减少他们的危险性饮酒。
