Abstract:

The reorganization of treatment facilities during the COVID-19 pandemic has altered the working conditions of large numbers of the health workers (HW) worldwide. The implementation of professional activities in such realities has led to an increased risk of developing a number of psychological disorders, including insomnia. The percentage of insomnia in HW has increased significantly. The nurses were the most vulnerable, because they are women and they work in an understaffed environment. The influence of shift work and stress conditions on the risk of insomnia, methods of prevention and treatment of this disorder are thoroughly examined in the article.

Keywords:
