Such care benefits from the co-creation of care, in which nurses and clients together shape the care process by investing in effective communication and supportive nurse-client relationships. Co-creation of care can especially benefit longitudinal collaboration between clients and their nurses in long-term care settings. However, it is unknown how nurses in these settings perceive the co-creation of care to affect their job demands, and ultimately, their levels of job burnout.

A proportionate stratified random sampling method was employed to recruit a sample of 470 registered nurses. Data were collected using a validated self-administered questionnaire comprising 19 items across seven component scores.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The prevalence of poor sleep quality among nurses was found to be 69.8%. The study identified several significant factors associated with poor sleep quality, including sleep duration (aOR 0.291; 95% CI: 0.215-0.393; p < 0.001), years of work experience (aOR 0.953; 95% CI: 0.924-0.984; p = 0.003), history of involvement in medication errors (aOR 2.669; 95% CI: 1.413-5.041; p = 0.002), and experiences of commuting injury (aOR 1.869; 95% CI: 1.119-3.121; p = 0.017).</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The high prevalence of poor sleep quality among nurses highlights the need for targeted interventions to address this issue. In addition to ongoing education, implementing sleep hygiene programs, offering stress management workshops, and introducing flexible work schedules could significantly improve sleep quality. Creating a supportive work environment that prioritizes nurse well-being is crucial for enhancing patient safety and overall healthcare outcomes.</p>","PeriodicalId":48580,"journal":{"name":"BMC Nursing","volume":"23 1","pages":"882"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11613850/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142773965","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
