Background:
The relationship between learning modalities and nursing students' sleep quality during the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic is unknown.
Purpose:
This study examined the relationships between remote learning and the sleep quality of nursing students during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods:
Using a cross-sectional descriptive design, 890 nursing students were surveyed online to identify sleeping habits and learning modalities.
Results:
There were no significant correlations between remote learning hours, self-reported sleep hours, and sleep quality. The asynchronous-only group reported better sleep quality than the in-person and online hybrid group after controlling for health conditions and grade point average. Students who reported that remote learning had impacted their sleep had poorer sleep quality.
Conclusions:
This study provides insight into how different learning modalities impact nursing students' sleep quality during the pandemic.
