Nursing students frequently encounter the challenge of balancing their studies with the demanding requirements of hands-on practice and this can greatly affect their mental wellbeing. This study aimed to investigate the impact of sleep and psychological well-being on the academic and clinical performance of nursing students in Saudi Arabia.
This study used a cross-sectional approach with 218 student nurses selected through convenience sampling from King Khalid University, Abha, Saudi Arabia. The sleep quality, psychological wellbeing, academic performance and clinical performance questionnaires were adopted to measure the variables. The Google Forms survey was used to gather the data, which were collected in August through October 2023. -test and chi-square were used to analyze the data.
The sleep quality was higher with good/very good performers (p < 0.001). There was a significant difference with academic performance on positive relations (p < 0.007) and purpose in life (p < 0.004). Additionally, there was a significant difference in autonomy (p < 0.01), environmental mastery (p < 0.026), positive relations (p < 0.001), and purpose in life (p < 0.001) with clinical performance. Among students with good academic performance, those who were older than 25 years of age (p < 0.043) and level 3 students (p < 0.001) were found to have a significant correlation. Furthermore, those who were 25 years of age (p < 0.012) and level 3 students (p < 0.001) were also found to have a significant correlation with clinical performance.
The sleep quality, positive relations, purpose in life, autonomy, and environmental mastery are all important factors for academic and clinical success. Moreover, older students and level 3 students may be more likely to have the skills and knowledge necessary to succeed in these areas. Further research exploring factors influencing academic and clinical success must be conducted.
护理专业学生经常面临平衡学业与实践操作严格要求的挑战，这会极大地影响他们的心理健康。本研究旨在调查睡眠和心理健康对沙特阿拉伯护理专业学生学业和临床成绩的影响。
本研究采用横断面研究方法，通过便利抽样从沙特阿拉伯阿卜哈的哈利德国王大学选取了218名学生护士。采用睡眠质量、心理健康、学业成绩和临床成绩问卷来测量变量。通过谷歌表单调查收集数据，数据收集时间为2023年8月至10月。使用t检验和卡方检验分析数据。
成绩优秀/非常优秀的学生睡眠质量更高（p<0.001）。在积极人际关系（p<0.007）和生活目标（p<0.004）方面，学业成绩存在显著差异。此外，在自主性（p<0.01）、环境掌控（p<0.026）、积极人际关系（p<0.001）和生活目标（p<0.001）方面，临床成绩存在显著差异。在学业成绩优秀的学生中，发现年龄大于25岁的学生（p<0.043）和三年级学生（p<0.001）存在显著相关性。此外，年龄为25岁的学生（p<0.012）和三年级学生（p<0.001）与临床成绩也存在显著相关性。
睡眠质量、积极人际关系、生活目标、自主性和环境掌控都是学业和临床成功的重要因素。此外，年长学生和三年级学生可能更有可能具备在这些领域取得成功所需的技能和知识。必须开展进一步研究以探索影响学业和临床成功的因素。
