Work-Environment Determinants that Could Affect the Emergency Healthcare Workers' Personal Life in the Spanish Health System.

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze work-environment determinants that could affect emergency healthcare workers' (EHWs') personal lives in the Spanish health system. A structured self-administered questionnaire consisted of sociodemographics, work environment-related, and EHWs' personal life-related questions was sent to the professionals. Descriptive statistics were used. Bivariable and multivariable binary logistic regression analyses were performed to identify the presence of an association between the outcomes. Doctors were more likely to be influenced by the stress of working and the rotating shift than other professionals. Men were less likely to be influenced by the rotating shift. Workers aged between 31 and 40 years were 6.35 times more likely to have their sleep affected by the rotating shift than workers over 51 years. The findings show a significant impact of work environment determinants on the personal life and well-being of EHWs' in Spain.
