Background:
To improve nursing quality and safety, it is essential to better understand relationships between sleep quality, mindfulness, and work-family conflict among nurses.
Purpose:
To examine the relationships among sleep quality, mindfulness and work-family conflict, and the mediating effect of mindfulness.
Methods:
A cross-sectional study was conducted using survey data from five comprehensive tertiary first-class hospitals in Xiamen. Two thousand three hundred seventy-two nurses' data were used as the final sample. Spearman correlations were calculated, bootstrapping analysis, path analysis was conducted.
Findings:
The sleep quality of nurses was not optimal. Work-family conflict was positively correlated with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) score, while mindfulness level was negatively associated with it. Mindfulness played a mediating role in the prediction of sleep quality based on work-family conflict.
Conclusions:
To improve nursing quality, interventions are needed to enhance nurses' sleep quality through mindfulness and work-family conflict improvement.
