| Popis: | Nursing students, as future health professionals and most likely shift workers, are a group to which more attention should be paid regarding sleep quality. To verify the existence of a relationship between health literacy and sleep quality in nursing students, we developed a quantitative descriptive–correlational study with 95 participants. The instruments for data collection were the Sociodemographic Questionnaire, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI-PT) and the Health Literacy Scale (HLS-EU-PT). Data analysis was performed using IBM SPSS 26 software. Here, 81.8% of the participants considered that they had a good quality of sleep. However, the remaining variables contradicted this assessment: usual sleep efficiency (65%), sleep disorders (97.9%), daytime dysfunction (75.8%) and use of medication to fall asleep (97.0%). The level of health literacy is considered inadequate, and there is no statistically significant correlation between health literacy and sleep quality. |
