Abstract

Objectives: to learn about the quality of sleep among the night shift staff in hospitalization wards of a Third Level Hospital, and to analyze other variables that can have an impact on quality of sleep.
Method: a descriptive transversal study was conducted on a sample of 108 Nursing professionals in the night shift of a third level hospital. For this study, variables were defined according to the Pittsburgh Validated Sleep Quality Index, taking into account other factors that could have an impact on the quality of sleep. The minimum work experience required was of six months, and having worked during the month previous to submitting the self-completed questionnaire.
Outcomes: out of 150 questionnaires, 108 participants were included; this represented a 72% response rate, with ages between 22 and 63 years, with a mean 42.24 years-of-age (SD: 11.02), and 15 of them (13.9%) were male. There was a mean experience in the night shift of 17.05 years (SD: 13.23). Out of all the persons included in the survey, 62 persons (57.9%) had relatives who depended on them.
Regarding the quality of sleep of the night shift staff, it was observed that 64.8% presented a poor quality of sleep, with a mean score of 7.77 in the Pittsburgh score, directly associated with feeling pain (Chi-square Test 12.05; p= 0.017) and that had little association with the number of years working in the night shift (Pearson Correlation 0.256; p= 0.008). The poor quality of sleep could not be associated with having dependent relatives, gender, or age.
Conclusions: the night shift workers at the Hospital Clínico de Barcelona suffer a slight alteration in their quality of sleep, with impact mostly on subjective quality, latency, and sleep alteration.
