| Popis: | 95 Sleep is one of the essentials for the human being – no less than air, food and water. Not only does adequate sleep help to revitalize our bodies, keep our figure in shape, but also enhances learning and memory. Inadequate sleep may often diminish mental performance resulting in symptoms in terms of lacking concentration, tiredness and sleepiness. Apparently, sleep is important for hospital staff that play critical roles in the facilitation of healthcare. Lacking sleep not only deprives the health of the medical staff, but also jeapordize the patients’ safety and may, in some cases, lead to medical malpractice. The main purpose of this research is to discuss sleeping quality of hospital staff in relation to personal factors, hygienic habits, work factors, and the feeling of drowsiness during the day. Furthermore, It will be able to understand the factors which influenced the sleeping quality so that the hospital can take measures to improve the sleeping quality of the staff. The subjects of the study are the staff members from four primary departments（namely, Health Care, Medical, Nursing, and Administration）of a university-operated hospital located in Northern Taiwan. Research tools used in the study included: Sleep Hygiene Practice Scale（SHPS）, Work Stress Scale, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index（PSQI） and Chinese Epworth Sleepiness Scale（CESS） to assess the sleeping quality of the subjects during the most recent month. Data were collected by using self-evaluation; 1,015 copies of surveys were distributed while 876 copies were returned, the response rate by 86.31％. Methodologies used included descriptive statistics, t-test, univariate analysis, Scheffe test, Pearson Correlation, Multi collinearity and regression analysis and etc. Major findings and conclusions made from the research include: 1. The share of subjects with bad sleeping quality（69.13%）is higher than those with good sleeping qualities（30.87%）. 2. The ratio of subjects reported no severe drowsiness during the day（69.07%）is higher than those reported severe drowsiness during the day（30.93%）. 3. Correlation between subjects’ resulting score for sleeping quality and personal factors including age, gender, mariatal status, working hours and working department is significant. 4. It is significantly correlated between the seven major factors that impact the subjects’ sleeping quality and changes in sleep hygiene habits, work pressure...etc. 5. Correlation between the eight scenarios in which subjects feel drowsiness during the day and changes in sleep hygiene habits, work pressure, and etc. is significant. |
