Quality of sleep among nurses working in critical care units: A cross-sectional study.
Article in Journal of education and health promotion, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundCritical care nurses often face sleep deprivation and circadian rhythm disturbances, affecting their well-being and patient safety. Although global research highlights this issue, Indian data remain scarce. Globally, the literature has shreds of evidence about the poor quality of sleep in critical care nurses but there is a paucity of data regarding this issue in the Indian scenario. Therefore, this study was conducted to assess the quality of sleep among nurses working in critical care units and to find its association with the sociodemographic variable. MATERIALS AND
methodsA cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted from April 2021 to January 2022 among 251 critical care nurses in adult, pediatric, neonatal, and neurology ICUs of a tertiary care hospital. Nurses with at least 3 months of ICU experience were included. Nurses who were not willing to participate and had psychiatric, chronic respiratory, cardiac illness, obesity, or pregnancy were excluded. Total enumerative sampling was used. The data were collected using Sociodemographic Information Performa and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics using SPSS version 20.0.
resultsThe mean score of PSQI was 6.23 ± 2.92 and 62% of critical care nurses had poor quality of sleep. A significant association was found between the quality of sleep with marital status (
conclusionMost (62%) critical care nurses reported poor sleep quality, significantly associated with marital and smoking status. Implementing sleep hygiene education and lifestyle-focused wellness programs can enhance nurses' well-being and promote safer, more effective patient care.
