Overview

Cross-sectional study reveals lower odds of poor sleep quality among rotating shift nurses, highlighting the complex confounding role of schedule selection and age.

Key Points

To examine associations between work schedule, shift selection modality, and sociodemographic characteristics with sleep quality among nurses.
Conducted a descriptive cross-sectional survey of 140 nurses in Saudi Arabia using a sociodemographic questionnaire and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (α = .824).
Evaluated bivariate relationships with Chi-square tests and Cramér's V, and addressed multicollinearity using Firth's penalized logistic regression adjusted for nationality and marital status.
Overall, 57.1% (80/140) of nurses had poor sleep quality, with good sleep declining from 70.0% in those aged 20–24 to 24.5% in those over 35 (χ²(3) = 11.85, p = .008).
After adjustment, nurses working rotating shifts had lower odds of poor sleep quality than those on fixed daytime schedules (OR = 0.02, 95% CI [0.00, 0.10], p < .001).
Nurses with mandatory shift assignments exhibited lower odds of poor sleep compared to those who voluntarily selected their shifts (OR = 0.14, 95% CI [0.03, 0.61], p = .009).
