“…Furthermore, a link was found between sleep quality and monthly income, where emergency nurses earning lower salaries experienced more sleep difficulties. This finding aligns with Gao et al (2022) research, which identified low monthly income as a contributing factor to poor sleep quality in most participants. Similarly, a study conducted in Jordan by Suleiman et al (2020) established a positive correlation between the amount of salary and sleep quality, further emphasizing the impact of income on sleep.…”

BackgroundCOVID-19 has probably contributed to sleep disturbance among nurses, especially those working at emergency departments (EDs). Sleep disorders in nurse managers can negatively impact their health and impair work performance and decision-making. This study aimed to explore the quality of sleep among nurses working in EDs and its influencing factors during the COVID-19 pandemic.MethodIn this study, a cross-sectional design was employed to assess the sleep quality of nurses working in EDs during the COVID-19 pandemic. The research recruited a convenience sample of emergency nurses, who were selectively sourced from four hospitals in Hail City. This recruitment occurred over the period from April to July 2022. Descriptive data analysis was conducted using SPSS, with the significance level set at 0.05.ResultsAmong the 216 participants in the study, the majority (55.6%) were aged between 30 and 39 years, and 73.6% were female. Additionally, 64.4% were married, while 69.4% had a bachelor’s degree, 20% held a diploma, and the remaining had a master’s degree. Notably, a significant 81.5% of the nurses reported poor sleep quality, as assessed by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), with an overall mean score of 10.55 indicating poor sleep. The study highlighted that poor sleep quality among nurses was linked to being female, being married, and not exercising regularly. Better sleep was associated with nurses who manage fewer patients per shift and have adequate monthly income.ConclusionThe prevalence of poor sleep quality among Emergency nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic is high. There is a pressing need for targeted interventions to enhance sleep quality among ED nurses. Improving sleep quality is not only essential for the wellbeing of these nurses but is also likely to contribute to better patient care.

“…Therefore, in addition to basic sociodemographic data (age, sex, nationality, and educational attainment in years), our online survey inquired about participants' psychiatric history (presence vs. absence); work conditions, including workplace setting (private residence vs. nursing institution); monthly wage (lowest tertile vs. upper and middle tertiles); and daily working hours (> 8 vs. ≤ 8). The literature suggests that the relationship between income and sleep quality could be non-linear (27,28); thus, we defined the lowest tertile as the "case" for low income. In addition, psychiatric symptoms in care recipients, psychological distress, and subjective sleep quality were evaluated.…”

BackgroundSubjective sleep quality may reflect the mental well-being of migrant care workers; however, the related occupational factors remain unclear. This study examines the association between the characteristics of care labor and the subjective sleep quality of female migrants.MethodsIn this cross-sectional study, Southeast Asian migrant care workers in Taiwan were recruited using convenience sampling. Data on working conditions, including workplace setting, wage, working hours, psychiatric symptoms of care recipients, and sleep quality measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), were collected through computer-assisted personal interviews. Multiple linear regression analyses were performed to determine the independent relationship between working conditions and the PSQI global score.ResultsThere were 220 institution-(47.7%) and home-based (52.3%) care workers, and 47.7% had a PSQI score higher than 5. After controlling for covariates, the lowest tertile of wages and daily working hours (> 8 h) were independently correlated with poor sleep quality. Moreover, in the stepwise regression model, wage and working hours remained the most explainable correlates of poor sleep quality.ConclusionThis study lent support to the notion that low wages and long working hours are significant occupational factors that negatively impact the subjective sleep quality of female Southeast Asian migrant care workers in Taiwan.

“…Sleep quality is related to job stress, and inflammation and sex differences play an important role in these interrelationships. A recent study suggested poor sleep quality among nurses and increased insomnia risk in healthcare workers during the COVID outbreak 19 . On the other end, poor sleep quality is associated with biological aging, and depression risks.…”

Job stress by effort-reward imbalance (ERI) is a predictor of burnout. Job stress is associated with inflammation, that is a forerunner of distal outcomes, including mortality. Sleep quality, an important association between job stress and inflammation has not been extensively studied. A cross-sectional study was conducted to examine the relationship between job stress, sleep quality, and inflammation among female nurses. As the primary outcome measure, a composite inflammation score was constructed from five interleukins (IL-6, 8, 10, 1β, TNF-α). Among fifty participants (mean age 32±7 years, work experience 105±8 months), there was poor sleep quality among the high ERI group (p=0.021). Overcommitment(OC), an intrinsic component of the ERI, was related to poor sleep quality (β =0.21, p =0.025). High OC (β =2.4, p = 0.025) and increased sleep latency (β = 8.3, p =0.027) were associated with elevated inflammation. There was a significant interaction between ERI and OC on inflammation (β =5.186, p =0.017) and conditional effects of ERI on OC to inflammation only in the high ERI group (p =0.002), not in the low ERI group (p = 0.839). Composite inflammation scores from various inflammatory markers may be potential indicators of adverse outcomes in burnout studies among healthcare workers.
