Doctors were significantly more likely to experience STS compared to other specialties (OR=2.863, =0.016). Participants sleeping 7 hours were associated with a lower likelihood of STS (OR=0.427, =0.016), while sleeping 6 hours showed a trend towards lower STS but was not statistically significant ( =0.068). Participants aged 50 and above were significantly less likely to experience STS (OR=0.275, =0.021). Lastly, Saudi nationals were significantly more likely to experience STS compared to non-Saudis (OR=2.717, =0.014). Female healthcare workers, doctors, and those younger than 50 years old were all found to be at a significantly higher risk of STS. Interestingly, sleep duration emerged as a potential protective factor, with those sleeping 7 hours exhibiting a lower risk of STS.
