| Abstract | Background: A number of studies have documented that COVID-19 brought more negative impact on the physical and psychological functioning of front-line healthcare workers. Especially, sleep quality was focused. The present study aimed to investigate the sleep quality of front-line healthcare workers, risk factors for sleep quality and the effect of Tai Chi training. Methods: 98 front-line healthcare workers were recruited, coming from the infection department, fever clinic, laboratory and medical imaging department in a COVID-19 designated hospital in Shanghai. 50 of them participated in a 2-week intervention and were randomized to receive a Tai Chi training or relaxation training. Participants were assessed at baseline, 7 and 14 days after participation. Demographic information, sleep quality and anxiety were measured by using the demographic questionnaire, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI). Results: 13.3% participants were above the cut-off score (>10) for the PSQI. Regression analysis showed gender, age, working years and job category had effect on sleep quality. And compared to control group, participants in Tai Chi training group had lower scores on both PSQI (p<0.05) and BAI (p<0.01) after the 2-week intervention. Conclusion: It was demonstrated that poor sleep quality existed in the front-line healthcare workers, which was related to gender, age, working years and job category. Tai Chi training can dramatically improve their sleep quality and reducing anxiety symptoms. |

NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources.
