The purpose of this study was to describe nursing students' sleep patterns and perceptions of safe practice during their first semester of clinical rotations. Method : Repeated measures pertaining to the sleep patterns of 19 full-time junior undergraduate nursing students were measured before, during, and after their first clinical rotations. Sleep was measured using wrist activity monitors and sleep diaries for seven consecutive days at each time period. Students' "self-efficacy" or belief in their ability to provide safe practice was measured for (a) patient care (preventing adverse events to patients) and (b) occupational health (preventing occupational injuries to themselves) using Bandura's self-efficacy scales. Associations between students' sleep, sleepiness, and their perceptions of safe practice were explored. Results : Nursing students' self-efficacy scores regarding patient care (preventing adverse events) improved across the three time periods (from 80% before clinical rotation, to 84% during clinical rotation, to 87% after clinical rotation). Although lower overall, students' self-efficacy scores regarding occupational health (preventing occupational injuries to themselves) also improved across the three time periods (from 71% before clinical rotation, to 76% during clinical rotation, to 77% after clinical rotation). Furthermore, increased sleepiness significantly predicted lower self-efficacy scores for both patient care and occupational health. Conclusion/Application to Practice : Sleepiness can impair nursing students' confidence in their ability to practice safely. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
