Abstract

Background: Intensive care unit (ICU) nurses work under heavy workloads, which can lead to serious consequences for nurses' outcomes and patient safety. This study aimed to examine the relationship between professional quality of life (Pro QOL), and sleep quality among ICU nurses during the COVID-19 outbreak.

Methods: A cross-sectional and multicentre study was conducted on 253 nurses in 20 COVID-19 ICUs in four major teaching hospitals from July 2021 to June 2022. Data were collected via a demographic information form, the Professional Quality of Life Scale, and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI).

Results: Nurses in COVID-19 ICUs experienced moderate levels of compassion satisfaction, compassion fatigue, and poor sleep quality. The mean scores of the Pro QOL dimensions were 33.49 ± 6.77, 32.28 ± 8.83, and 29.58 ± 11.67 for compassion satisfaction, burnout, and secondary traumatic stress, respectively. The results revealed that 220 (87%) of the nurses experienced poor sleep quality. A significant relationship was shown between the Pro QOL dimensions and the mean total score of sleep quality, which can predict 0.45% of the variance (F = 7.11, p < 0.001, adjusted R² = 0.45).

Conclusion: Our results confirmed the link between the Pro QOL and sleep quality among ICU nurses. It is suggested that nurse managers implement practical interventions to improve the QWL of nurses in the ICU_S. This will subsequently lead to improved outcomes for nurses and ensure patient safety.

重症监护室护士职业生活质量与睡眠质量的关系：横断面研究。

背景：重症监护病房（ICU）护士的工作负荷很大，这可能会对护士的工作结果和患者的安全造成严重后果。本研究旨在探讨新冠肺炎疫情期间ICU护士职业生活质量（Pro QOL）与睡眠质量的关系。方法：于2021年7月至2022年6月对4家大型教学医院20个COVID-19 icu的253名护士进行横断面、多中心研究。数据通过人口统计信息表、职业生活质量量表和匹兹堡睡眠质量指数（PSQI）收集。结果：COVID-19重症监护病房护士存在中等程度的同情满意度、同情疲劳和较差的睡眠质量。在Pro QOL维度上，同情满意度、倦怠和继发性创伤应激的平均得分分别为33.49±6.77、32.28±8.83和29.58±11.67。结果显示，220名（87%）护士的睡眠质量较差。Pro QOL维度与睡眠质量平均总分之间存在显著关系，可以预测0.45%的方差（F = 7.11, p 2 = 0.45）。结论：我们的研究结果证实了ICU护士的Pro QOL与睡眠质量之间的联系。建议护理管理者采取切实可行的干预措施，提高icu护士的QWL。这将随后为护士带来更好的结果，并确保患者安全。
