abstract = {[Abstract] The COVID-19 pandemic has the potential to significant- ly affect the mental health of healthcare workers, who stand in the frontline of this crisis. Insomnia is often related to exposure to stressful situations, such as the current health crisis, as well as other mental disorders, physical conditions and work-related problems. The objectives of this systematic review were: 1) to examine the impact of the current health pandemic produced by COVID-19 on insomnia and sleep quality of health professionals, and 2) to identify risk factors associated with insomnia. After a literature search in MEDLINE, EMBASE, and PsycINFO, 18 relevant studies were identified. The prevalence of insomnia estimated by random effects meta-analysis was 38% (95%CI= 37 to 39%), being slightly higher in women (29%, 95%CI= 27% to 30%) than in men (24%, 95%CI= 21 to 27%). The main risk factor associated with insomnia was working in a high-risk environment, followed by female sex and having a lower educational level. The high figures of self-reported insomnia and poor sleep quality observed indicate the need to develop interventions aimed at mitigating and caring for the mental health of healthcare workers fighting against this pandemic.},
abstract = {[Resumen] La  pandemia  de  COVID-19  tiene  el  potencial  de  afectar  significativamente  la  salud  mental  de  los  profesionales  sa-nitarios que se encuentran en la primera línea de esta crisis. El insomnio está relacionado con la exposición a situaciones estresantes,  como  la  actual,  así  como  con  otros  trastornos  mentales, patologías físicas y problemas laborales. Los objeti-vos de esta revisión sistemática fueron: 1) examinar el impac-to de la actual pandemia sanitaria producida por COVID-19 en  el  insomnio  y  la  calidad  del  sueño  de  los  profesionales  sanitarios, y 2) identificar los factores de riesgo asociados al insomnio. Tras una búsqueda bibliográfica en MEDLINE, EM-BASE  y  PsycInfo  se  identificaron  18  estudios  relevantes.  La  prevalencia de insomnio autoinformado estimada mediante meta-análisis de efectos aleatorios fue del 38 % (IC95 %: 37 a 39 %), siendo ligeramente superior en mujeres (29 %, IC95 %: 27 a 30 %) que en hombres (24 %, IC95 %: 21 a 27 %). El principal factor de riesgo asociado al insomnio fue trabajar en un entorno de alto riesgo, seguido del género femenino y un menor nivel educativo. Las cifras de insomnio y la calidad del sueño observadas indican la necesidad de desarrollar in-tervenciones destinadas a mitigar y cuidar la salud mental de los sanitarios al frente de esta pandemia.},
