SUMMARY:

Introduction: Sleep disorders represent a major public health problem, significantly affecting the quality of life and physical and mental health of the population. Objective: To identify the prevalence and factors associated with sleep problems in the Brazilian population and healthcare workers. Method: This is a multi-method study. 1) Cross-sectional study with data from the 2019 National Health Survey including individuals aged 15 years and older to estimate the prevalence and factors associated with sleep problems and the use of sleeping pills in the Brazilian population; 2) Systematic review protocol of cross-sectional studies describes in detail the planning to estimate the prevalence and identify factors associated with poor sleep quality among healthcare professionals who worked during the COVID-19 pandemic; 3) A systematic review of cross-sectional studies to estimate the prevalence and identify factors associated with poor sleep quality among healthcare professionals working during the COVID-19 pandemic, searching the databases PubMed, Web of Science, Science Direct, EMBASE (Elsevier), Scopus, Cinahl, PsycINFO, Google Scholar, and Open Grey. The eligibility criteria are: Population (healthcare professionals of all categories and of both sexes, over 18 years of age, who cared for COVID-19 patients during the pandemic); Exposure (Poor sleep quality); Comparison (sleep pattern data); Outcome (prevalence and factors associated with poor sleep quality). Data extraction was performed independently by two reviewers, and discrepancies were resolved by a third reviewer. Results: In the cross-sectional study, the prevalence of sleep problems and use of sleep-inducing medications was 35.1% (95%CI 34.5–35.7) and 8.5% (95%CI 8.2–8.9), respectively. Sleep problems were associated with female gender (PR = 1.41; 95%CI 1.36–1.46), individuals who self-rated their health as fair/poor/very poor (PR = 1.56; 95%CI 1.51–1.62), those with a chronic disease (PR = 1.70; 95%CI 1.64–1.78), those who consume excessive amounts of alcohol (PR = 1.14; 95%CI 1.09–1.20), and smokers (PR = 1.16; 95%CI 1.10–1.22). The use of sleeping pills was associated with female gender (PR = 1.57; 95%CI 1.43–1.73), divorced individuals (PR = 1.46; 95%CI 1.30–1.65), those living in urban areas (PR = 1.32; 95%CI 1.21–1.45), those who self-rated their health as fair/poor/very poor (PR = 1.79; 95%CI 1.64–1.95), those diagnosed with chronic disease (PR = 4.07; 95%CI 3.48–4.77) and smokers (PR = 1.49; 95%CI 1.33–1.67). The systematic review included 124 studies. The prevalence of poor sleep quality ranged from 10% to 97.8%, with most studies reporting poor sleep quality among healthcare professionals providing care during the COVID-19 pandemic (60% to 79%). Sixty percent of the publications came from Asian countries, with the largest number coming from China. Regarding associated factors, 30% were linked to working conditions and the pandemic, followed by factors related to mental and psychosocial health (27.8%). Conclusion: The results demonstrate a high prevalence of sleep disorders in the Brazilian population and among healthcare professionals during the COVID-19 pandemic, associated with sociodemographic, behavioral, health, and working conditions factors. This reinforces the need for strategies aimed at promoting sleep health and caring for the population's mental health.
