PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The relationship between sleep and pain is often described as a vicious cycle, such that poor sleep health and pain cause and exacerbate one another. There is evidence that sleep and pain share the same underlying mechanisms involving serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine pathways. While most research to date has focused on the individual effects of sleep or pain on health, the current study proposes to shift this paradigm to study the joint effects of poor sleep and pain among an at-risk group, healthcare workers (HCWs). HCWs are uniquely suited as the focus of this research question because apart from clinical populations (e.g., those with chronic pain or insomnia), HCWs are at greater risk of poorer sleep and pain compared to the general population. The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated HCWs' feelings of burden and burnout, as well as brought more attention to these timely issues of the health and well-being among HCWs. Earlier work has found that HCWs experience shorter sleep duration, poorer sleep quality, work-related pain, and the spontaneous onset of pain. There is evidence that sleep and pain have a bidirectional relationship. In Aim 1, the proposed study will examine the joint effects of poor sleep health and pain, and how this negative synergy affects physical, mental, and cognitive health and well-being. Given the ample research studying the moderating effects of work characteristics, Aim 2 will investigate whether job demands and resources moderate the relationship between the joint effects of sleep and pain on health outcomes. These aims will be examined cross-sectionally and over time using survey and micro-longitudinal data (collected daily over 8 days), respectively. In total, data from three separate datasets will be used (n=2,154 HCWs; 5,892 non-HCWs). The central hypothesis is that the joint effects of sleep and pain will be more prevalent among HCWs compared to non-HCWs, and that the joint effects will account for more variance than the single individual effects of sleep and pain. Greater pain reactivity to poor sleep will be associated with more chronic conditions, more negative affect and less positive affect, more depressive symptoms, and lower cognitive functioning. The second hypothesis is that greater job demands and fewer job resources will exacerbate the joint effects of poor sleep and pain. Findings may help inform future workplace interventions and policies to mitigate the harmful effects of poor sleep and pain among HCWs. The proposed training site and team are well equipped to provide the necessary resources to address these aims. Upon completing this project, the PI will acquire the theoretical and statistical knowledge to study the joint effects of sleep and pain among other at-risk groups like older adults. The study team will disseminate their findings by publishing peer-reviewed manuscripts, presenting at conferences, and contributing to the development of pilot interventions to mitigate the joint effects of sleep and pain for all.

项目总结/摘要 睡眠和疼痛之间的关系通常被描述为一个恶性循环，例如睡眠健康状况不佳， 痛苦是相互的，也是相互的。有证据表明，睡眠和疼痛有着相同的潜在原因。 涉及血清素、多巴胺和去甲肾上腺素途径的机制。虽然迄今为止的大多数研究都 目前的研究集中在睡眠或疼痛对健康的个体影响上，建议将这种模式转变为 研究睡眠不良和疼痛对高危人群--医护人员（HCW）的联合影响。HCW是 独特地适合作为该研究问题的焦点，因为除了临床人群（例如，的人 慢性疼痛或失眠），与普通人群相比，HCW的睡眠和疼痛风险更大。 COVID-19大流行加剧了HCW的负担感和倦怠感，并带来了更多 关注这些与医务工作者的健康和福祉有关的及时问题。早期的研究发现， 睡眠时间缩短，睡眠质量差，工作相关疼痛和自发性疼痛。 有证据表明，睡眠和疼痛有双向关系。在目标1中，拟议的研究将审查 不良睡眠健康和疼痛的联合影响，以及这种负面协同作用如何影响身体，精神和 认知健康和幸福。鉴于大量研究表明， 目标2将调查工作要求和资源是否调节 睡眠和疼痛对健康结果的联合影响。将对这些目标进行跨部门的审查， 时间分别使用调查和微观纵向数据（每天收集超过8天）。总的来说，来自三个国家的数据 将使用单独的数据集（n= 2，154 HCW; 5，892非HCW）。核心假设是， 与非HCW相比，HCW中的睡眠和疼痛将更加普遍，并且联合效应将 比睡眠和疼痛的单一个体效应更能解释差异。疼痛反应更强， 睡眠将与更多慢性疾病、更多负面影响和更少的正面影响有关， 抑郁症状和认知功能低下第二个假设是，更大的就业需求和 更少的工作资源将加剧睡眠不足和疼痛的共同影响。调查结果可能有助于为未来提供信息 工作场所干预和政策，以减轻保健工作者睡眠不良和疼痛的有害影响。的 拟议的培训地点和培训小组具备充分的条件，能够提供实现这些目标所需的资源。 完成本项目后，PI将获得理论和统计知识，以研究联合效应 睡眠和疼痛在其他高危人群如老年人中的作用。研究小组将通过以下方式传播其研究结果： 出版同行评审的手稿，在会议上发言，并为试点项目的开发做出贡献。 干预措施，以减轻睡眠和疼痛对所有人的联合影响。
