Workload and Sleep Quality of Hospital Shift Nurses

The shift nurses in the top three hospitals in Beijing were included. According to the sample size calculation method of correlation coefficient in analytical research, the correlation coefficient between workload and sleep quality was obtained by consulting literature ρ=- 29, confidence level α= 0.05, β= Then the sample size calculation software pass 11.0 was used to calculate n = 99. Considering 20% sample loss, the final sample size was n = 119. The same interviewee (head nurse / nurse) was informed of the purpose and significance of this study by using the same guiding language. The head nurses were informed one-on-one by the implementer of the project and filled in the questionnaire after informed consent; The nurse survey was conducted by the project implementer himself to the head nurse of the Department for training.
