| Abstract |
This study explored safety behaviour as a mediator of the relationship between workplace sleepiness and occupational injuries. A survey was conducted among certified nursing assistants working in long-term care facilities. Data were obtained through focus groups and interviewer-administered questionnaires. A negative relationship was found between workplace sleepiness and safety behaviour, together with positive relationships between workplace sleepiness and occupational injuries, and pain frequency and severity. |
