Background and purpose: Balancing work and school often leads to daily habits changes and sleep quality problems among female RN-BSN nursing students. The aims of this study were (1) to describe the participants’ personal characteristics, daily habits, pre-sleep arousal status and sleep quality and (2) to investigate the predictive factors of sleep quality and their impacts on the seven components of sleep quality. Methods: A purposive sampling with cross-sectional design wad conduct in this study. A survey with structured questionnaires on total of 50 RN-BSN nursing students, aged 20 years or older was completed to determine participants’ pre-sleep arousal status, sleep quality and personal characteristics. Questionnaires including personal characteristics, Presleep Arousal Scale, and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index were used for data collection. Descriptive statistics including frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation were performed to identify personal characteristics and quality of sleep. Student-t test, Pearson correlation test, and linear regression were used to determine inferential statistics. Results: The average age of the female RN-BSN nursing students was 32.0(±5.1), and the average BMI was 23.8(±6.6) kg/m2. A total of 47(94.0%) students had sleep disturbance. The average sleep onset latency, total sleep time, time in bed, and sleep efficiency were 31.2(±20.4) minutes, 5.5(±1.6) hours, 7.1(±1.8) hours and 81.2(±21.1) %, respectively. Pre-sleep "Being distracted by sounds, noise in the environment" and ".Dry feeling in mouth or throat" were the main predictive factors of the sleep quality among RNBSN nursing students. These two factors mainly affected the three components of the sleep quality including "subjective sleep quality", "sleep latency" and "sleep disturbances." Conclusions: This study results provide schools or health practitioners with a reference to design sleep health interventions to reduce the pre-sleep "Being distracted by sounds, noise in the environment" and "Dry feeling in your mouth or throat" to improve "subjective sleep quality", "Sleep latency" and "sleep disturbances" of students. |
