Sleep quality and nighttime sleep duration mediated the association between occupational stress and work-related musculoskeletal disorders among bus drivers
Occupational stress and poor sleep quality significantly elevated the risk of both multiple-site and overall WMSDs, while increased nighttime sleep duration was associated with a reduced risk of multiple-site and overall WMSDs. Sleep quality and nighttime sleep duration emerged as potential mediators in multiple-site and overall WMSDs induced by occupational stress. Highlighting the importance of reducing occupational stress, maintaining good sleep quality and sufficient nighttime sleep duration for WMSDs prevention.
