On average 69 of every 100 doctors in China are suffering from sleep disorders, says a recent survey.
According to a report by the China News Service, this survey was jointly conducted by French pharmaceutical company Sanofi-Aventis and the Chinese Medical Doctor Association. 2,759 doctors aged from age 30 to 40, representing 30 hospitals in 12 Chinese cities, responded to the questionnaire. Almost 2000 of them admitted that they had sleep problems in the past year.
52 percent of those reporting sleep problems said they had difficulty falling asleep. 43 percent said they suffered from poor-quality sleep, waking up in the middle of the night and sleeping too few hours.
Half of those with sleep disorders thought their sleep problem was associated with their daily life problems.
46.9 percent of the doctors surveyed thought they had huge life pressures, with 35.6 percent suffering from anxiety and 17.6 percent of them admitting depression.
Professor Wei Jing from the Chinese Medical Doctor Association says that the aim of the survey is to acknowledge the mental health condition of Chinese medical workers and remind them to pay attention to their own well-being. |
