Family violence and mental health in a sample of Finnish health care professionals: the mediating role of perceived sleep quality.

The results indicate that FV experiences are common among Finnish health care professionals and that they can significantly affect their mental health. FV should thus be taken to account in seeking to promote the occupational well-being of health care professionals. The results also suggest that the harmfulness of FV might be mediated by sleep quality. This finding prompts the need for further investigation and FV-related interventions.
