Abstract

Studies have shown that poor sleep quality could result in many unpleasant consequences and is prevalent in nurses. Considering the fact that nurses need to work in shifts hour (morning, evening and night), this study aimed to evaluate the current status of critical care nurses’ sleep quality in Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia (HUSM) and explored its impacts. A cross-sectional study was carried out to assess the impact of shift work on level of sleep quality among critical care nurses in HUSM. Data was collected using a self-administered questionnaire incorporating the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). A total number of 69 critical care nurses from the critical care wards, HUSM who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were involved in this study. They were selected through a convenience sampling method. Data collected were statistically analyzed using the Statistical Package Social Science (SPSS) software version of 26. This study showed that 82.6% of respondents have a poor level of sleep quality. The association between shift work, selected sociodemographic characteristics and level of sleep quality was analyzed by using Pearson’s Chi-Square test. 69.57% respondents who work in shift show that they have poor level of sleep quality. The total mean of PSQI score of 69 critical care nurses in HUSM was 0.83 (0.382), including 12 (17.4%) subjects with PSQI<=5 and 57 (82.6%) with PSQI > 5. The result of this study revealed that there is no significant relationship between selected sociodemographic characteristics (age, gender, marital status, years of working experiences with shift work and monthly household incomes) with level of sleep quality among critical care nurses in HUSM (p > 0.05). As a conclude, the level of sleep quality among critical care nurses in HUSM was poor.
