We aimed to examine the mediating effects of the Sense of Coherence (SOC) on the relationship between stress and sleep in nurses during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.
A cross-sectional survey targeting nurses in Chiba and Tokyo during the summer of 2021 was conducted using Google Forms. Responses were obtained using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), the 13-item version of the SOC scale (SOC-13), and questions regarding COVID-19-related stress. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was performed to investigate relevant relationships.
A total of 181 valid responses were obtained from 400 surveyed nurses. SEM analysis showed that COVID-19 stress was indirectly related to PSQI via its effect on SOC-13, with higher SOC-13 negatively correlated with PSQI.
Our findings suggest the need for interventions designed to promote SOC for nurses working under stressful conditions.
本研究旨在探讨新冠疫情期间护士的应对感（SOC）在压力与睡眠之间的中介作用。
本研究于 2021 年夏季采用谷歌表单对千叶县和东京的护士进行了横断面调查。采用匹兹堡睡眠质量指数（PSQI）、SOC-13 量表（SOC-13）的 13 项版本和与新冠相关压力的问题来获取应答。采用结构方程模型（SEM）来分析相关关系。
从 400 名接受调查的护士中获得了 181 份有效应答。SEM 分析表明，新冠压力通过对 SOC-13 的影响间接与 PSQI 相关，SOC-13 越高，PSQI 越低。
本研究结果提示，需要针对在压力环境下工作的护士进行促进 SOC 的干预。
