Effectiveness of a Multimodal Training Program on Sleep Quality, Stress, and Resilience among Nursing Officers in Tertiary Care Hospitals: A Quasi-Experimental Study

Background: Nurses are the most important resources of any healthcare team.They are always involved in direct patient care and encounter their family members.Nurses have inevitable variations in their working hours.These circumstances make them vulnerable to develop stress and affect their quality of sleep which in turn affects their work performance.Methods: This study was conducted in HSK hospital and research centre Bagalkot and Shanti Hospital Bagalkot.The participants were nursing officers working in selected hospitals of Bagalkot, who do night shift duty and whose sleep quality index score is more than 5. 120 Nursing officers (60 in the experimental group and 60 in the control group) were selected by the purposive sampling technique.A structured questionnaire was used to assess baseline information.PSQI scale was used to assess sleep quality, the Perceived Stress Scale was used to assess stress and the Brief Resilience Scale was used to assess resilience among nursing officers.Results: post-test scores comparison between experimental and control groups showed that a significant difference was found in sleep quality (p<0.001),resilience (p<0.000) and level of perceived stress (p<0.001). Conclusion:The multimodal intervention was significantly effective in improving the quality of sleep and resilience and reducing perceived stress among nursing officers working in tertiary care hospitals.
