Aims Sleep is one of the factors affecting human health. Any disturbance in human sleep affects the occurrence of physical and mental problems and reduces a person's performance. This study aims to investigate sleep quality among healthcare workers and related factors at Allameh Bahloul Gonabadi Hospital during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Materials & Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted with the participation of 103 employees of Allameh Bahloul Hospital in Gonabad in 2021. Demographic information checklist and the standard Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Questionnaire were used to collect data. After collecting the data, it was entered into SPSS software (version 16) and interpreted using descriptive and analytical statistics.
Findings The average age of all participants was 33.22 ± 6.31 years, and the average sleep quality score was 6.52 ± 2.51. According to the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Questionnaire, 46 people (44.7%) had favorable sleep quality, and 57 (55.3%) people had unfavorable sleep quality. There was a statistically significant relationship between sleep quality and the workplace ward; therefore, 84.2% of people working in high-risk wards had unfavorable sleep quality (P=0.045).
Conclusion According to the results of this study, the rate of poor sleep quality was high among hospital healthcare workers, which can play an important role in reducing their work efficiency and disability. Therefore, given the special position of hospital employees in the health system, measures are recommended to improve workplace ergonomics and address their mental and psychological well-being.
