Abstract

This article investigates the prevalence of insomnia among female flight attendants and its association with mental health. Using a cross-sectional study of 412 Taiwanese female flight attendants, the research found that 45.4% experienced insomnia, with factors such as smoking, drinking, family workload, economic stress, and late-night/early-morning work shifts significantly related to higher insomnia scores. Insomnia showed a direct negative impact on mental health, which in turn was associated with suicidal ideation, although insomnia did not directly affect suicidal ideation. The study recommends that airline companies implement sleep-education and mental health promotion programs to support female flight attendants’ well-being and enhance flight safety.
