Abstract

Background: Sleep deprivation is a common issue among health practitioners, particularly surgeons, and can significantly impact their performance and patient safety. Insufficient sleep affects cognitive functions, decision-making, and overall well-being, leading to increased risks in clinical settings.

Aim: This study aims to explore the effects of sleep deprivation on the performance of health practitioners, emphasizing the need for effective management strategies to mitigate its negative consequences.

Methods: A comprehensive review of existing literature was conducted, focusing on studies that analyze the correlation between sleep quality and job performance among healthcare professionals. Key factors such as cognitive function, emotional regulation, and patient care outcomes were assessed.

Results: Findings indicate that sleep-deprived practitioners exhibit reduced cognitive abilities, impaired decision-making, and increased likelihood of errors. Moreover, chronic sleep deprivation is linked to burnout and mental health disorders, further compromising patient care.

Conclusion: Ensuring adequate sleep and promoting well-being among health practitioners is crucial for maintaining high standards of patient care. Institutions must prioritize sleep health in scheduling and support systems to enhance both practitioner performance and patient safety.
