Purposes: To understand the condition of sleep quality for on-the-job training nurses and to analyze the related factors of sleep quality. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted and convenience sampling undertaken of 227 subjects recruited at a Taichung university. After data collection, SPSS 19.0 was used for descriptive and inferential analysis. Results: The mean score for sleep quality was 7.40±3.24, with 67% of on-the-job training nurses perceiving poor sleep quality. Older nurses, those working more than 40 hours per week, those working in the afternoon and on night shifts, those doing shift work, and those with more work pressure had the highest scores for poor sleep quality. Others variables, such as educational degree, marital status, number of children, medication, exercise behavior, service units and working period, showed no significant association. Conclusions: More than 60% of nurses perceived poor sleep quality. The changeable factors to sleep quality include working time/per week, shift work and stress. According to these results, the researchers recommend the hospital manager should provide reasonable working hours and proper shift work to improve the sleep quality for on-the-job training nurses and to lower their stress. |
