BACKGROUND/AIM: Sleep disturbances and burnout are possibly related to each other, although the exact nature of this relationship is still under investigation. The purpose of the study was to investigate the prevalence of insomnia and its relation with burnout levels in a group of nurses working in psychiatric, pediatric, internal medicine and surgery departments in the public hospitals of central Greece.
One hundred and seventy four nurses working in internal medicine, surgery, psychiatric and pediatric sector in public hospitals of Central Greece were enrolled in the study. Maslach's burnout inventory and Athens Insomnia Scale were used to evaluate burnout and insomnia respectively. Statistical significance was set at p=0.05.
Mean age of the nurses was 35.19 ± 7.07 (22-56). One hundred and fifteen (95.8%) nurses were women and 71 nurses (59.2%) were married. Mean insomnia score was 10.00. Approximately 3 out of 4 nurses exhibited high burnout levels. Nurses working in the department of surgery and those with more than 4.5 night shifts per month exhibited higher insomnia scores. Insomnia score was correlated with burnout subscales, positively with emotional exhaustion and depersonalization and negatively with personal achievements scale.
Insomnia and burnout scales are linearly related to each other. Younger nurses are particular vulnerable to insomnia. Job reform should target at younger nurses and those working on surgical departments who might also benefit from additional education and training to reduce insomnia and burnout.

背景/目的:睡眠障碍与职业倦怠可能相互关联,尽管这种关系的确切性质仍在研究中。本研究的目的是调查希腊中部公立医院内科、儿科、精神科和外科工作的一组护士中失眠的患病率及其与职业倦怠水平的关系。
希腊中部公立医院内科、外科、精神科和儿科部门的174名护士参与了本研究。分别使用马氏职业倦怠量表和雅典失眠量表评估职业倦怠和失眠情况。设定统计学显著性水平为p = 0.05。
护士的平均年龄为35.19±7.07(22 - 56岁)。115名(95.8%)护士为女性,71名(59.2%)护士已婚。平均失眠评分为10.00。约四分之三的护士表现出高职业倦怠水平。外科部门的护士以及每月值夜班超过4.5次的护士失眠评分更高。失眠评分与职业倦怠分量表相关,与情感耗竭和去个性化呈正相关,与个人成就感量表呈负相关。
失眠量表和职业倦怠量表彼此呈线性相关。年轻护士尤其易患失眠症。工作改革应针对年轻护士以及外科部门的护士,他们可能也会从额外的教育和培训中受益,以减少失眠和职业倦怠。《希波克拉底》2014年;18(2):150 - 155。
