Abstract:

Objective To investigate the current status and influencing factors of sleep concerns among shift nurses in intensive care unit(ICU),provide reference for the development of targeted intervention measures. Methods From March to April 2025,the convenience sampling method was used to collect 202 ICU shift nursesfrom five tertiary hospitals in Luzhou City of Sichuan Province as the research object. The general information questionnaire,the anxiety and preoccupation about sleep questionnaire ,the coping style questionnaire and the Chinese nurse stressor scale were used in investigation,and the data were analyzed. Results The total score of sleep concerns among ICU shift nurses was 39.00(34.00,44.25)points,the score[MP25P75)] of positive coping style was 19.00(15.00,24.00)points,the score of negative coping style was 10.50(8.00,15.00)points,and the score of job stressors was 84.00(73.00,100.00)points. There were statistically significant differences in the scores of sleep concerns among ICU shift nurses with different age,working years and average frequency of night shifts per month(H=13.529,12.976,22.975,all P<0.05). The total score of sleep concerns was positively correlated with the score of negative coping style(r=0.344,P<0.01),and the score of job stressors and its five dimensions(r=0.397,0.367,0.334,0.288,0.378,0.262,all P<0.01). The main influencing factors of ICU shift nurses' sleep concerns were the frequency of night shifts per month,negative coping style,workload and time allocation problems,and patient care problems(β=0.256,0.257,0.191,0.170,all P<0.05).Conclusion ICU shift nurses have a high degree ofsleep concerns,the nursing managers should carry out diversified and targeted interventions according to related influencing factors to reduce the degree of sleep concerns,and improve the quality of work and job satisfaction of ICU shift nurses.
