Abstract

Background: Nurses are at risk of poor sleep due to their shift duties which has serious implications on their health. Hence this study was carried out to study the sleep quality of nurses working in a tertiary hospital and to identify the factors associated with it. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 375 nurses working in shifts for more than a year in a tertiary care centre of central India. Socio-demographic and work-related details were collected with the help of a pre-designed pre-tested questionnaire. Sleep quality was measured by Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Clinical characteristics were also assessed which included hypertension, diabetes, BMI and psychological well being. Psychological well-being was assessed by GHQ-12. Association of sleep quality with sociodemographic, work-related and clinical characteristics was determined. Chi square test was used to test for significance and logistic regression analysis was done using IBM SPSS V23. Results: Out of total 375 nurses, 50.40% had poor sleep quality. Mean age of the participants was 38.36±8.69 years. Extended family, working in emergency departments, work experience of ≤5 years, hypertension, and poor psychological well-being were the factors demonstrated to be independently associated with poor sleep quality. Conclusions: Poor sleep quality among nurses is a matter of concern and warrants further investigation.
