摘要：Objective: To investigate the effect of eating time on the anxiety of shift healthcare workers after COVID-19. Methods: The cluster sampling was used to select 101 shift healthcare workers from 2A hospitals in Xi'an. Self-rating anxiety scale (SAS), Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire (MEQ) were used to evaluate the symptoms of anxiety, sleep pattern, respectively. Meanwhile, a special survey was conducted on the eating time of each shift mode. We used Kruskal-Wallis tests to present demographic data, Wilcoxon rank sum test to compare the differences of eating rhythms. And Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the relationship between eating time and SAS scores. Result: Of the 101 shift healthcare workers, 24.8% experienced anxiety. Kruskal-Wallis tests revealed that the SAS scores of nurses were significantly higher than doctors (p=0.01). Doctor degree and masters had lower SAS scores than the others (p=0.04). Wilcoxon rank sum test showed that the eat midpoint and the time of last meal on night shift were all later than those on day shift and on rest day (p<0.01). Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that time of last meal on day shift ( = 0.80, 95%CI 0.67-0.95), eat midpoint of night shift ( = 1.21, 95%CI 1.02-1.43), eat duration of rest day ( = 0.84, 95%CI 0.71-0.98), difference from the time of last meal between night shift and day shift ( = 1.33, 95%CI 1.11-1.59), difference from the time of last meal between night shift and rest day ( = 1.27, 95%CI 1.04-1.55) were significantly associated with SAS scores. Conclusion: Healthcare workers should have earlier last meal on night shift and longer eat duration on rest day. To make the eating rhythm more regular, thus preventing and reducing anxiety symptoms.
