“…First, the majority ( n = 150, 79.79%) of the Korean clinical nurses working in medium‐ and small‐sized hospitals had poor sleep quality, indicated by their global sleep quality scores of 5 or more (7.18, ± 2.98). The study finding is alarming because Korean clinical nurses had a much higher poor sleep prevalence compared to nurses in other countries: 33% of the female nursing staff in Germany (Kunzweiler et al., ); 57% of female shift workers in Taiwan (Shao et al., ), and 65.1% of Brazilian nurses had poor sleep quality (Palhares, Corrente, & Matsubara, ). Korean nurses also had a higher prevalence of poor sleep compared to the urban population in Iran, 37% of whom reported poor sleep quality (Asghari, Farhadi, Kamrava, & Ghalehbaghi, ).…”

“…Sleep disturbances are common among adults. For example, over 25% of adult German residents reported poor sleep quality, and about 10% of the population in western industrialized nations has problems falling or staying asleep [21]. Therefore, it would be expected that poor sleep quality is prevalent in occupations with irregular sleep-wake schedules such as nurses.…”

Background:Poor sleep quality and sleepiness is a common problem in nurses. The morningness-eveningness preference of nurses may affect their sleep quality.Objective:The objectives of this study were (1) to describe the quality of sleep in a group of hospital nurses and (2) to analyze the effect of shift work and morningness-eveningness on the sleep quality of nurses.Methods:In this cross-sectional study, 120 nurses completed the survey in a university hospital in Iran. The study tools were Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Questionnaire (PSQI), Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), and Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire (MEQ). Nurses with PSQI>5 and ESS≥10 were considered having poor sleep quality and excessive daytime sleepiness. Nurses were subdivided into morning-, intermediate- and evening-types according to MEQ. Data were analyzed by chi-square, Mann–Whitney U-test, logistic regression, and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) tests.Results:The mean (±SD) of PSQI and ESS was 6.88(2.18) and 9.5(±3.9), respectively. About 74% of nurses reported poor sleep quality, and near 40% of the nurses had excessive daytime sleepiness. Sixty percent of nurses were intermediate-type, and the remaining was morning (24.2%) and evening (15.8%) types. The sleep quality and daytime sleepiness had a significant relation with shift work. The mean PSQI was significantly different between shift work and non-shift work nurses. The mean PSQI of three main chronotypes was statistically different.Conclusion:Poor sleep quality was prevalent in the nurses and was significantly associated with shift work and chronotype. The sleep preference of nurses would be considered as an important factor in the assignment of shift work by hospital managers.

“…En una investigación realizada con el equipo de enfermería en una clínica de Alemania, se encontraron correlaciones entre calidad del sueño y exceso de trabajo, notando que estaban con exceso de trabajo, así como la distribución desigual de la carga horaria (12) . Otro estudio observó que los enfermeros que realizan un gran número de tareas, además de las responsabilidades habituales de enfermería, tenían un aumento acelerado en el nivel de estrés, desencadenando depresión (13) .…”
