“…This is unsurprising as night shifts disrupt one's biological rhythms and subject nurses to long-term fatigue. One study involving Chinese psychiatric nurses showed that night shift nurses have worse sleep, which leads to higher levels of burnout (Lyu et al 2021). Another study of nurses in Spain revealed that night shift nurses lack confidence in their nursing ability (G omez-Garc ıa et al 2016), likely resulting from their missed care plans and deprived sleep.…”

Psychiatric nurses often experience burnout and other mental health symptoms. However, few studies have examined these phenomena and gender‐specific associated factors during the COVID‐19 pandemic. We surveyed a national sample of psychiatric nurses ( N = 8971) from 41 tertiary psychiatric hospitals in China as part of a large national survey conducted during the pandemic. The Maslach Burnout Inventory‐Human Service Survey was used to assess burnout and the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale‐21 was used to assess mental health symptoms. Binary logistic regression analyses were used to explore factors associated with burnout in the entire sample and separately by gender. The overall prevalence of burnout was 27.27%, with the rate in male psychiatric nurses (32.24%) being significantly higher than that in female psychiatric nurses (25.97%). Many key demographic factors (such as the male gender and marital status), work‐related variables (such as a mid‐level professional title, having an administrative position, longer working hours, more monthly night shifts, and the perceived negative impact of the COVID‐19 pandemic on medical work) were significantly associated with burnout in the whole sample. Moreover, burnout was associated with depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms in the whole sample. Gender‐specific factors associated with burnout were also identified: burnout was associated with night shifts in male psychiatric nurses, whereas it was associated with single or married marital status, a mid‐level professional title, and having an administrative position among female psychiatric nurses. The high rates of burnout and mental health symptoms in psychiatric nurses need attention from hospital administrators. While mental health symptoms, longer working hours, and the perceived impact of COVID‐19 are associated with burnout in both genders, gender‐specific factors also warrant special attention when developing gender‐specific interventions.

“…Nurses are prone to many sleep problems due to the nature of their profession (Zhan et al, 2020;Oteir et al, 2022). Insomnia prevalence in nurses was reported to be approximately 30 to 65.4% worldwide, and 37-63.9% in China (Pappa et al, 2020;Zhan et al, 2020;Lyu et al, 2022). Insomnia impairs individuals' cognitive, physical, and emotional functions, greatly reducing the quality of life and adversely affecting health (Fernandez-Mendoza et al, 2015;Li et al, 2015;Brownlow et al, 2020).…”

BackgroundNurses have a high incidence of insomnia. Insomnia not only damages the physical and mental health of nurses, but also reduces their productivity and quality of care, ultimately affecting patient care. Over the past 30 years, a large number of epidemiological surveys have shown that insomnia in nurses is associated with occupational stress. As an external feature of the role of a nurse, occupational stress is difficult to alter in a short period of time. Therefore, it is necessary to discuss the complex mediating variables in the relationship between occupational stress and insomnia in nurses in order to find different ideas to address the problem of insomnia caused by occupational stress. Psychological capital, the positive psychological strength of an individual, has been widely used in previous reports as a mediating variable between occupational stress and adverse psychological problems.ObjectiveThis study aimed to explore the mediating effect of psychological capital on occupational stressors and insomnia among Chinese nurses.MethodsThe Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology statement was referred to conduct the study. A cross-sectional stratified sampling method was used to recruit 720 participants from a tertiary hospital in Jinan, Shandong province, located in the east of China, from June to August 2019. Questionnaires were used to obtain data on demographic variables, psychological capital, occupational stressors, and insomnia.ResultsThe study findings revealed that work settings [department (F = 3.08, p = 0.006), working hours per week (t = −2.03, p = 0.043) and shift work (t = 3.66, p < 0.001)], decision latitude (r = −0.25, p < 0.001), psychological job demand (r = 0.15, p < 0.001), social support (r = −0.31, p < 0.001), and psychological capital (r = −0.40, p < 0.001) were differentially associated with insomnia experiences. This cross-sectional survey showed that psychological capital has significant mediation effects on the relationship between occupational stressors and insomnia. In the model of decision latitude - psychological capital - insomnia, the mediating effect was-0.04 (95%CI: −0.07 ~ −0.02), accounting for 50.0% of the total effect; In the model of job demands – psychological capital – insomnia, the mediating effect was 0.03 (95%CI: 0.01 ~ 0.06), accounting for 25.0% of the total effect; In the model of social support - psychological capital - insomnia, the mediating effect was −0.11 (95%CI: −0.16 ~ −0.07), accounting for 39.0% of the total effect.ConclusionPsychological capital not only had a direct effect on both occupational stressors and insomnia, but also played mediating roles in relationship between occupational stressors and insomnia. It has been suggested that nurses themselves and nursing managers should improve the psychological capital of nurses by various means to alleviate the effects of occupational stress on nurses’ insomnia.

“…Sleep disorder has been a common health problem worldwide [ 9 , 10 ] and associated with a series of adverse health and social consequences [ 11 , 12 ]. It has been suggested that healthcare professionals, especially professional nurses, appeared to be more susceptible to sleep disorders than the general population [ 13 , 14 ]. The shift work schedule can disrupt circadian rhythms that lead to disrupted sleep schedules and severely impair sleep quality and quantity [ 15 , 16 ].…”
