However, FV experiences among health care professionals themselves have not been investigated much. We also lack specific knowledge on the associations between FV and mental health.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Aim<\/jats:title><jats:p>The purpose of the study was to investigate the prevalence and effects of FV in a sample of Finnish health care professionals. In addition to analysing direct connections between different types of <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">FV<\/jats:styled-content> and mental health, the mediating effect of sleep quality was also taken into account.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>The study followed a cross\u2010sectional design. The sample comprised 1952 health care professionals from Central Finland, who participated in a survey measuring their health and well\u2010being. The dependent variables were perceived sleep quality and mental health as measured by depressive symptoms and the mental health continuum short form (<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">MHC<\/jats:styled-content>\u2010<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">SF<\/jats:styled-content>) questionnaire.
