Nursing students’ sleep is poor during both classroom learning and practical training. The aim of this study was to compare sleep among academic years and sleep hygiene to describe current sleep during classroom learning.
The participants for this cross-sectional study were college nursing students. Participants’ consent was implied by response to a self-administered questionnaire on a website. Sleep was assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index -Japanese version (PSQI-J). The PSQI-J included seven components such as subjective sleep quality. The results were analyzed by using multiple comparisons. Free writing description of nursing students’ sleep hygiene for good sleep was analyzed by qualitative descriptive analysis.
A total of 252 nursing students completed a self-administered questionnaire (response rate: 60.7%). Sleep of second-year students was poorer than all other school years and about 70% of them had a sleep disorder. Second-year students also had poorer subjective sleep quality, showed more sleep latency, and experienced more frequent daytime dysfunction than other school years. Six categories such as [effort of the getting up] were extracted from 28 subcategories of nursing students’ sleep hygiene to describe good sleep. However, [effort of the getting up] was hardly worked on by nursing students.
This study suggested that second-year students needed to learn the way of improving subjective sleep quality, sleep latency and reducing daytime dysfunction. Second-year students required education to promote sleep by getting sunlight exposure soon after awakening.
