hift-work often causes great potential harm to the health of
nursing staff, with sleep affectingmost often. The purpose of
this studywas to understand the sleep quality of nurses working
in rotating shifts. A prospective cohort study was conducted.
Collecting data with a structured questionnaire from a total of
320 night shifts nursing staff at a medical center by filled in a
seven-day sleep diary, fromApril 2017 to June 2017. The results
showed that nurses rotating night shifts only sleep 6.9 hours
per day on average. Only 44% evening shift nurses had good
sleep quality, was better than graveyard shift nurses, which
was 38%. Overall, only 41% night-shift-rotating nurses has
good sleep quality. In other words, more than half of the night-
shift-rotating nurse’s sleep quality was not good. Among the
factors affecting the sleep quality of nursing staff, there were
significant differences between the nursing professional level
and whether there were children in primary school. The chance
of being disturbed by people during sleep was as high as 92.8%.
The chance of being interfered with by “things” was as high as
81.3%. The probability of being disturbed by “noise” is as high as
93.4%, and themore the number of disturbances, theworse the
quality of sleep. The above three have significant differences.
Overall, shifts, reduced the quality of sleep for nursing staff. Bad
sleep quality made nursing staff tired, increased work stress,
and reduced quality of life. High work stress and low quality of
life affect the performance of nurses in their work, Intent- to-
stay, and will affect their physical and mental health in the long
term. How to improve the sleep quality of shift nurses is indeed
an important issue, and it is worth further studying the effects
of shift patterns on sleep quality.
