“…This finding is consistent with the previous studies, which investigated the correlation between some demographic factors and sleep disturbance and it has been reported that sleep disturbance is more common in women than men. It could be as a result of high sensitivity of the women to stress and sleep problems (30,31). Gen-erally, home is a place for relaxation and stress relief from the outside world.…”

Background: Sleep is one of the most basic and physiologic needs, which has impressive effects on the humans' physical and mental health. According to the need for permanent presence of the nurses in the hospitals, they often suffer from shift work effects such as sleep disorders. Objectives: Considering the high sensitivity of nursing jobs, the aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and consequence of sleep disorders in shift work nurses. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on all of the nurses employed in hospitals of Larestan city in south of Iran in 2017. After screening based on inclusion criteria, 100 nurses were selected. to evaluate the prevalence and consequence of sleep disorders in the nurses, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Epworth Sleep Quality Index (ESQI) and Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) were used. Data were analyzed using SPSS software version16. Descriptive and analytical statistical tests, including One-way ANOVA, paired t-test, independent t-test, Kruskal-Wallis, chi-square, and Pearson correlation coefficient were used to analyze the data. A P ≤ 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: The results showed the mean score of sleep quality index was 6.52 ± 4.23 and according to this index, 56% of the studied nurses are in hazardous situations. In all of the nurses, sings of insomnia were observed during routine works; consequently, 78.5% were sleepy, 16.5% were very sleepy, and 5% were severe sleepy. By the increased rate of night shift work per week, the severity of insomnia was also increased in the nurses (R 2 = 0.78). Sleep disorders in the nurses working in the surgical section were higher than the nurses in other sections of the hospitals (P < 0.05). Conclusions: A high percentage of the nurses employed in different sections of the hospitals have poor sleep quality and increased rate of night shift work per week plays a major role in decreasing their sleep quality. Regarding the adverse effects of poor sleep quality on the health status of the nurses and their quality of job performance, it is necessary to carry out proper planning to improve the sleep quality of night shift work nurses employed in different sections of the hospitals.

“…High figure has been reported by Bagheri et al in Iran (35.5%) [38]. In another study carried out by Sepehrmanesh et al also in Iran [41], 19.5% of nurses used sleep medication to fall asleep. In the United States, 27% of nurses used medications to help them sleep, while 13% reported using medications to stay awake [42].…”

BACKGROUND: Nurses represent the largest section of the health-care workforce, and lack of sleep has an adverse influence on them, particularly during pandemics such as coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). It causes not only health problem but also poor work results and an increased risk of medical errors. AIM: The goal of the study was to determine the prevalence of poor sleep quality among nurses during COVID-19 outbreaks. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A cross-sectional analysis was conducted among a group of nurses in the Al-Madinah region of Saudi Arabia at the National Guard Health Affairs in 2020 (1st year of the COVID-19 crisis). Data were collected using a validated questionnaire with two sections: Sociodemographic data such as age, nationality, family status, gender, and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. RESULTS: There were 238 nurses in the report. 37.8% of them were found to be between the ages of 31 and 35, while 24.4% were under the age of 30. The nurses were mostly female (84%). Sleep latency, sleep disruption, overall subjective sleep quality, and sleep length were the most widely identified sleep problems. Sixty-six percent of the nurses said they had a poor night’s sleep. None of the demographic variables analyzed had a significant relationship with overall sleep quality. CONCLUSION: Majority of nurses working at the National Guard Health Affairs and primary health-care centers in Al-Medina, Saudi Arabia, experience poor sleep quality, during the 1st year of COVID-19 crisis regardless of their demographic characteristics.

The main objective of this study is to assess the prevalence of sleep disturbance and related psychological factors (stress, anxiety and depression) among frontline nurses in Oman during the COVID-19 pandemic. A cross-sectional and descriptive correlational design using Qualtrics® software was used in this research. Data were collected using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS). Logistic regression was performed to identify factors associated with poor sleep quality. Of the 987 frontline nurses who participated, 58.8% (n = 580) reported poor sleep quality. In an examination of PSQI components the mean sleep duration was 7.04 (SD = 1.59) hours per night, and the sleep latency mean was 38.18 min (SD = 31.81). Poor sleep (p < .05) was significantly associated with age, marital status, years of experience, comorbidity, and whether family members or relatives were suspected or confirmed with having COVID-19. Logistic regression showed that poor quality of sleep was significantly associated with stress, anxiety and depression symptoms. Sleep disturbance is a significant problem for frontline nurses working in Oman during the COVID-19 pandemic. Appropriate interventions to maintain the health conditions and reduce sleep disturbance among frontline nurses are needed in order to help support nurses’ work during contagious disease outbreaks. These can be implemented through online workshops and training to enhance nurses’ responses to the pandemic or to any further disease outbreaks.
