Sleep quality and job satisfaction of Turkish nurses

According to the findings obtained from the research it was determined that nurses' total sleep quality score mean was 7.28 ± 3.56 and job satisfaction score mean was 48.05 ± 11.77 and a weak negative correlation was found between the 2 tools (r = −0.25) (P < .05). As the nurses' sleep quality increased (that is, as their sleep quality score mean decreased) their job satisfaction increased (their job satisfaction score mean increased). In general, the results obtained from our research show that nurses' sleep quality is low and their job satisfaction is at a moderate level. In parallel with this, as the nurses' sleep quality decreases their job satisfaction also decreases.
