Study on the correlation between occupational stress,burnout,and sleep quality among plastic surgery nurses
Objective To understand the current status and correlations of occupational stress,burnout,and sleep quality among plastic surgery nurses.Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted from January to April 2024 using random sampling.A total of 87 nurses from the plastic surgery departments of five tertiary hospitals were selected as participants.A self-designed online questionnaire was used to collect data on nurses'gender,age,education level,marital status,years of experience,professional title,and average monthly income.The survey also included the Occupational Stress Inventory,the Maslach Burnout Inventory,and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index for analysis.Results The occupational stress,burnout,and sleep quality scores of the 87 plastic surgery nurses were(169.01±44.15),(43.64±18.7),and(8.74±3.64)respectively.Univariate analysis indicated that age,years of experience,professional title,marital status,monthly income,and number of night shifts per month were influencing factors for occupational stress,burnout,and sleep quality among plastic surgery nurses.Multivariate linear regression showed that marital status,years of experience,average monthly income,occupational stress tasks,individual stress reactions,emotional exhaustion,depersonalization,and low personal accomplishment were significant factors influencing sleep quality among plastic surgery nurses.Conclusions The sleep quality of plastic surgery nurses is poor,and occupational stress and burnout are important influencing factors.Interventions to improve occupational stress and burnout among plastic surgery nurses are crucial for enhancing sleep quality.
