| Abstract: | Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate sleep quality in nurses and to investigate the relationship between poor sleep quality and occupational accidents. Materials and Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted with nurses (n=164) who had been working in different clinics of a university hospital for at least one year and who had not previously been diagnosed with sleep disorders and who agreed to participate in the research. In the data collection form, sociodemographic characteristics, medical history, information about sleep and working conditions, and hospital employee health and safety unit records were questioned. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index was used to evaluate sleep quality. Results It was found that 77.4% of nurses had poor sleep quality. It was determined that 66.9% of nurses with poor sleep quality and 45.9% of nurses with good sleep quality worked day and night in shifts. It was observed that 38% of the nurses who participated in the study had an occupational accident in the last year, and it was found that all occupational accidents occurred in the group with impaired sleep quality and a significant difference was found between the two groups in terms of the frequency of occupational accidents. Conclusion It was found that nurses had poor sleep quality. Individuals with impaired sleep quality have a high frequency of working alternating day and night shifts and continuous night shifts.
