Sažetak
Aim To assess the relationship between sleep quality and
demographic variables, morning-evening type, and burnout
in nurses who work shifts.
Methods We carried out a cross-sectional self-administered
study with forced choice and open-ended structured
questionnaires – Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index, Morningness-
eveningness Questionnaire, and Maslach Burnout Inventory.
The study was carried out at Gazi University Medicine
Faculty Hospital of Ankara on 524 invited nurses from
July to September 2008, with a response rate of 89.94%
(n = 483). Descriptive and inferential statistics were applied
to determine the risk factors of poor sleep quality.
Results Most socio-demographic variables did not affect
sleep quality. Participants with poor sleep quality had quite
high burnout levels. Most nurses who belonged to a type
that is neither morning nor evening had poor sleep quality.
Nurses who experienced an incident worsening their
sleep patterns (P < 0.001) and needlestick or sharp object
injuries (P = 0.010) in the last month had poor sleep quality.
The subjective sleep quality and sleep latency points
of evening types within created models for the effect of
burnout dimensions were high.
Conclusions Nurses working consistently either in the
morning or at night had better sleep quality than those
working rotating shifts. Further studies are still needed to
develop interventions that improve sleep quality and decrease
burnout in nurses working shifts.
