Description

Yingying Gu and co-authors study, in a 2024 paper, how support, sleep, and low mood linked up for Chinese nurses during the Omicron wave of COVID-19. Nurses faced heavy strain in that period, and the team asked whether sleep carries part of the effect that social support has on depression. They surveyed 2,140 nurses in late summer 2022 with three standard scales.

About forty percent showed depressive symptoms, and about sixty-nine percent slept poorly. More support went with better sleep and fewer symptoms, while poor sleep went with more symptoms. A mediation analysis found that support eased depression in part through sleep, and that the path held across experience, schooling, and hospital type subgroups. The authors suggest programs that build support and protect sleep together.
