Objectives: To assess the prevalence of daytime sleepiness, poor sleep quality and depression among (emergency room) ER physicians in comparison to family medicine physicians. Methods: We compared 68 ER physicians with 69 family medicine physicians in an observational case control study. A self-administered questionnaire composed of the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and the Beck Depression Inventory Scale (BDI). Results: The mean total ESS score of ER physicians was significantly higher than the score of family medicine physicians as 41.2% of ER physicians scored ≥ 10, while only 14.5% of family medicine physicians scored ≥ 10. Moreover, ER physicians had a higher on the PSQI (indicating poorer sleep quality), and 83.8% of them had poor sleep quality (≥ 5) in comparison to 50.7% of family medicine physicians. The BDI scores of the ER and family medicine physicians indicated that 41% and 22% suffered from some level of mood disturbance, respectively. Pearson correlation showed a positive and significant relationship between sleep quality and depression among ER physicians (P < 0.001, r = 0.437). Conclusion: Our study demonstrated that daytime sleepiness, poor sleep quality and depression are prevalent among ER physicians. Moreover, there was a strong correlation between poor sleep quality and depression.
