Significant predictors of self-rated health included well-being (p 2 = 0.103). Among the participants, 84.1% worked in public hospitals, and 15.9% in private hospitals. Regarding body mass index, 43.9% were of normal weight, 4.8% underweight, 32.4% overweight, and 18.9% obese. Males reported higher well-being and sleep continuity scores than females.Conclusions The study highlights the critical role of sleep health, well-being, and optimism in shaping healthcare professionals’ self-rated health. These results suggest that improving these mental health factors can positively influence healthcare professionals’ self-rated health, potentially enhancing their performance and patient care quality. Further research is needed to identify additional determinants and to establish causal relationships through longitudinal studies.
