Key Points

To evaluate the prevalence of poor sleep quality and its associated factors among apparently healthy healthcare workers who have no overt sleep complaints.
Conducted a cross-sectional survey of 925 healthy employees from a healthcare organization in Tehran, Iran.
Assessed physical and mental health issues alongside sleep quality using a self-administered questionnaire and the Persian version of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), defining PSQI scores ≤5 as good sleep quality.
Of the 925 participants, 56.9% were categorized as good sleepers, indicating that 43.1% experienced poor sleep quality.
Poor sleep quality was significantly associated with female sex, divorced marital status, shift work, and advancing age, whereas education level showed no significant association.
Self-rated health exhibited a significant positive correlation with sleep quality.
