This systematic review and meta-analysis 1) clarifies and quantifies existing results on the association between exposure to workplace bullying and sleep, 2) evaluates the methodological quality of existing studies, 3) identifies theoretical frameworks used in research, 4) determines moderating and mediating variables, and 5) provides guidelines for future research. Searches for primary studies were conducted in Pubmed, Medline, Embase, PsycINFO and Web of Science. Of the 406 studies identified, 26 fulfilled the inclusion criteria for the qualitative synthesis whereas sixteen studies were included in the meta-analysis (cross sectional effect sizes: 15; N = 69,199/prospective effect sizes: 6; N = 26,164). Workplace bullying was significantly related to sleep problems in all studies. Across cross-sectional studies, targets of bullying had 2.31 higher odds of reporting sleep problems compared to non-bullied workers. The odds across the prospective studies was 1.62. The quality of evidence for the association between workplace bullying and sleep problems was low to moderate. Only eight studies had a predefined theoretical rationale for the association, and few studies examined mediating and moderating variables or bidirectional associations. The methodological quality of the studies was moderate. Further research is needed to establish the nature, directionality, mechanisms, and conditions of the association between bullying and sleep.

这项系统的回顾和荟萃分析1）澄清和量化关于暴露于工作场所欺凌与睡眠之间关系的现有结果，2）评价现有研究的方法学质量，3）确定研究中使用的理论框架，4）确定主持和调解变量，以及5）为将来的研究提供指导。在Pubmed，Medline，Embase，PsycINFO和Web of Science中进行了基础研究的搜索。在确定的406项研究中，有26项符合定性综合的纳入标准，而荟萃分析中包括16项研究（横断面效应量：15； N = 69,199 /预期效应量：6； N = 26,164）。在所有研究中，工作场所欺凌都与睡眠问题显着相关。在整个横断面研究中，欺凌的目标为2。与非欺凌工人相比，报告睡眠问题的几率高31。前瞻性研究的几率是1.62。工作场所欺凌与睡眠问题之间关联的证据质量低到中等。只有八项研究对关联具有预先定义的理论基础，很少研究研究中介和调节变量或双向关联。研究的方法学质量中等。需要进一步研究以建立欺凌与睡眠之间关联的性质，方向，机制和条件。只有八项研究对关联具有预先定义的理论基础，很少研究研究中介和调节变量或双向关联。研究的方法学质量中等。需要进一步研究以建立欺凌与睡眠之间关联的性质，方向，机制和条件。只有八项研究对关联具有预先定义的理论基础，很少研究研究中介和调节变量或双向关联。研究的方法学质量中等。需要进一步研究以建立欺凌与睡眠之间关联的性质，方向，机制和条件。
