Sleep Worry Among Clinical Nurses: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in The American journal of nursing, 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
backgroundSleep-related worry is recognized as a significant determinant of sleep quality. Yet the prevalence and correlates of sleep worry among clinical nurses have not been well established. PURPOSE: This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the prevalence and correlates of sleep worry among clinical nurses in order to guide the development of targeted intervention strategies.
methodsClinical nurses employed at a large urban hospital in China from June to November 2024 were recruited for this study. A rigorously developed and validated sleep worry scale was used to assess each nurse's level of sleep worry. Correlational analysis was used to identify significant associations between variables of interest and sleep worry. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to identify significant influencing factors of sleep worry.
resultsA total of 285 clinical nurses were included in the study. Within this cohort, the prevalence of sleep worry was 64%; the mean sleep worry scale score was 32.14. Correlation analysis revealed significant associations between sleep worry and participants' age, work department, professional title, years of nursing experience, and number of night shifts per month. Multiple linear regression analysis identified age, work department, professional title, years of nursing experience, and number of night shifts per month as significant influencing factors of sleep worry.
conclusionsThe high prevalence of sleep worry among clinical nurses underscores the need for targeted and effective intervention strategies. The identified influencing factors provide valuable guidance for the development of these strategies. Such measures are essential to effectively mitigate sleep worry among clinical nurses, thereby potentially enhancing their overall well-being and job performance.
