Abstract
Background
Nurses' quality of life (QoL) significantly influences their physical and mental health. However, limited research has examined the relationship between professional QoL, sleep disturbance, and well-being in this population.
Methods
This descriptive, cross-sectional study investigated the associations among professional QoL (compassion satisfaction and compassion fatigue), sleep quality, and subjective well-being in nurses. A total of 978 registered nurses completed the Professional Quality of Life Scale (Version 5), the Athens Insomnia Scale, and the Index of Well-Being. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation coefficients, and multiple linear regression.
Results
Higher levels of compassion satisfaction were associated with lower levels of sleep disturbance and higher well-being. In contrast, burnout and secondary traumatic stress were negatively associated with well-being and positively associated with sleep disturbance. Regression analyses identified physical condition, burnout, and compassion satisfaction as significant predictors of well-being. Physical condition, burnout, and secondary traumatic stress significantly predicted sleep disturbance.
Conclusions
Interventions aimed at reducing compassion fatigue, enhancing physical fitness, and promoting compassion satisfaction – both individually and organizationally may improve sleep quality and well-being among nurses.
