Abstract
Background: This study aimed to examine nurses' burnout and sleep quality during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods: A cross-sectional design was employed. Data were collected from 256 nurses working in COVID-19 units between July 2021 and January 2022 using the Nurse Identification Form, the Maslach Burnout Scale (MBS), and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI).
Results: Participants had worked in COVID-19 units for an average of 11.41 ± 9.11 months, with 50.6% employed in state hospitals. Significant differences were observed in the emotional exhaustion and depersonalization subscale scores of the MBS based on the type of COVID-19 unit and nurses' work patterns (p < 0.05). A significant positive correlation was found between PSQI scores and emotional exhaustion (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: Nurses who experienced higher emotional exhaustion during the pandemic also reported poorer sleep quality.
