| Abstract: | 衛生所是臺灣公衛體系最基層的組織，在民眾健康促進、疫病防治上扮演極為重要關鍵的角色，本研究旨在探討新冠肺炎疫情衝擊下，公共衛生護理人員工作壓力及睡眠品質現況。以南投縣十三鄉鎮市衛生所公共衛生護理人員進行結構式問卷調查，共發放問卷65份，有效問卷65份，回收率為100%，以Microsoft 365專業增強版及IBM SPSS Statistics 20.0套裝軟體執行資料處理，採用描述性統計、獨立樣本t檢定、單因子變異數分析、皮爾森積差等統計方法進行資料分析。主要研究發現公衛護理人員工作壓力以工作負荷感受最深，睡眠品質平均分數7.80分，70.8%公衛護理人員在疫情期間的睡眠品質不良，且全體公共衛生護理人員工作壓力感受為中上程度。工作職稱、每月加班時數、疫情警戒後加班時數是否增加及調職意向與工作壓力有關，性別、工作職稱、每月加班時數、疫情警戒後加班時數增加及調職意向與睡眠品質有關；公共衛生護理人員之工作壓力與睡眠品質具顯著相關，即工作壓力愈大睡眠品質愈差。盼透過本研究結果，能讓相關單位重視公共衛生護理人員工作壓力及睡眠品質現況，以利創造友善及支持性的工作環境，發揮護理人員專業知能，進而提升服務民眾健康之品質。
The public health centers play a crucial role in Taiwan's public health system, particularly in promoting public health and disease prevention. This study aimed to investigate the work stress and sleep quality among public health nurses under the impact of the Coronavirus Disease-2019 pandemic.A structured questionnaire survey was conducted among public health nurses in the thirteen townships and cities of Nantou County. A total of 65 questionnaires were distributed, and all 65 responses were valid, resulting in a response rate of 100%. Data processing was performed using Microsoft 365 Professional Plus and IBM SPSS Statistics 20.0 software. Descriptive statistics, independent sample t-tests, one-way analysis of variance, and Pearson correlation were used for data analysis.The main findings of the study revealed that work stress among public health nurses was most strongly associated with the perception of workload. The average score for sleep quality was 7.80, with 70.8% of the nurses experiencing poor sleep quality during the pandemic. Overall, the public health nurses reported a moderate to high level of work stress. Work title, monthly overtime hours, increase in overtime hours after pandemic alert, and intention to transfer were found to be related to work stress. Gender, work title, monthly overtime hours, increase in overtime hours after pandemic alert, and intention to transfer were associated with sleep quality. There was a significant correlation between work stress and sleep quality among public health nurses, indicating that the higher the work stress, the worse the sleep quality.It is hoped that the results of this study will encourage relevant authorities to pay attention to the work stress and sleep quality of public health nurses. This, in turn, can help create a supportive and friendly work environment that allows nursing professionals to utilize their expertise and enhance the quality of health services provided to the public. |
