Abstract: Objective To investigate the status of psychological distress,functional somatic symptoms and sleep quality of emergency medical staff in five grade-A tertiary hospitals in Sichuan Province,explore their correlation. Methods A total of 314 emergency medical workers from five grade-A tertiary hospitals in Sichuan Province were selected from February to March 2022 by the convenience sampling method. The psychological distress scale,functional somatic symptoms scale and sleep quality scale were used for data collection. The descriptive analysis,correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis were used to explore the relationship between functional somatic symptoms,psychological distress and sleep quality. Results The sleep quality score of 314 emergency medical workers was (7.71±3.68)points,psychological distress score was (27.64±8.67)points,and functional somatic symptoms score was (31.53±10.84)points. The sleep quality score was positively correlated with psychological distress and functional somatic symptoms scores(all P<0.01). The psychological distress,functional physical symptoms,marital status,monthly shift frequency(times) and exercise were the main influencing factors of sleep quality among emergency medical workers from grade-A tertiary hospitals in Sichuan Province(all P<0.05).
