Abstract
The nursing staffs are playing the very important roles with the health
improvement process , but their works may be conflict with their own health. The nursing staffs are not enough time for sleeping , this situation would affect not only themselves health but also the patients safety. The purpose of this study by conducting a questionnaire survey, we aimed to clarify the effect of nursing staffs, personal characteristics, work status, work perception, health status, life habit, and sleep environment of nursing sleep quality. The subjects were the nursing staffs working at 3 hospitals through 620 subjects collection according to the freedom sampling investigation processing. The survey was carried out by self- reported and self-rated questionnaire, which assesses sleep quality over a 1- month time interval from the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Results as showed:
1. Among 620 subjects were collected, the mean PSQI component score was 7.62?
3.26, widely ranged (0-18). Four hundred and fifty one (72.7%) nurses had a score of > 5 which is clinically diagnostic for poor sleep,
2. About 32.1% of variation describe subjective sleep quality by the personal characteristics, work status, work perception, health status, life habit, and sleep environment. It statistically significant factors are working stress, self-reported health status, sleep frequency of noise induced and those intervention of lighting for sleeping. The most effective factor is sleep frequency of noise induced.
3. The odds ratio for sleep quality were 1.203 between having more working stress and having less working pressure, 0.844 between good self-reported health status and poor self-reported health status, 1.977 between high sleep frequency of noise induced and low frequency of noise induced and 1.818 between higher lighting of interfering induced And lower lighting of interfering induced.
According to this study, the conclusion is that the nursing staffs are not acquired for the better sleeping quality with the higher personal variation. Specially, it shall be take the higher dangerous group depending on the higher working pressure, the poor self-reported health status, sleep frequency of noise and lighting
induced. The results of this study suggest that nurses should try to get sufficient hours of sleep, regular exercise, learn relax, and lifestyle modification to ensure the good quality of sleep. They also suggest that hospital administration adjust the time of work, engagement in sleep problem meeting, physical examination every year, and supple good work environment for improvement of sleep quality.
