Impact of Sleep Quality on Work Functioning Among Critical Care Nurses at an Academic Tertiary Hospital.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
aimPoor sleep quality can impair nurses' ability to function effectively. We aimed to investigate the impact of sleep quality on the work functioning of intensive care unit (ICU) nurses.
methodsThis cross-sectional questionnaire-based study was conducted at an academic tertiary hospital in Saudi Arabia between December 2023 and January 2024. Eligible participants included any ICU nurses. The self-administered questionnaire included basic demographics and questions from the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Nurses Work Functioning Questionnaire (NWFQ).
resultsOf the 131 participants, 60 (45.8%) were 35-44 years old and 118 (90.1%) were females. The median [interquartile range] number of years working in the ICU was 8 [4-16]. Participants with poor sleep quality had a significantly higher median NWFQ score (27.57 vs. 17.44; p < 0.0001) and all the NWFQ subscales (p ≤ 0.02) except for the item 'conflicts and irritations with colleagues.' NWFQ scores demonstrated a moderate negative correlation with Global PSQI Scores (r
conclusionThe sleep quality of ICU nurses was significantly associated with work functioning. Addressing sleep-related challenges is essential to ensuring high-quality patient care and the overall sustainability of the nursing profession.
