Abstract

Nurses often have a heavy workload and struggle to maintain a good quality of life (QOL). The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between perceived stresses and sleep disturbance, and quality of life among Korean clinical nurses. A cross-sectional design was used to examine these relationships among 200 clinical nurses at three hospitals in South Korea. Standardized instruments were used, including the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), Eating Behavior Questionnaire (DEBQ), and the WHOQoL-BREF questionnaire. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the t-test, ANOVA, the Scheffe test, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and multiple regression analysis using SPSS/WIN 24.0 program. Multiple regression analysis showed that clinical nurses who had a subjective health status ( β = 0.29, p = 0.001), perceived stress ( β = −0.32, p < 0.001), and sleep disturbance ( β = −0.21, p = 0.001) were more likely to have a higher quality of life. The explanatory power of the regression model was statistically significant at 36.7%. Multiple regression analysis showed that clinical nurses who had better subjective health status, lower perceived stress, and fewer sleep disturbances were more likely to have a higher quality of life.
