Abstract
Background and Objective: There is a close relationship between sleep behavior and service quality in nurses. Since nurses are one of the most important active groups in order to ensure the health of patients, they should have a good sleeping status. The present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the role of spiritual belief and emotion regulation in predicting insomnia problems in nursing personnel.
Methods: The research method was descriptive and correlational. The statistical population of the research included all the nurses working in the corona departments of the hospitals of Shiraz city in 2022, out of whom 150 were selected by available sampling method. Data collection was done using Insomnia Severity Index (Morin, 1993), Religious Orientation Scale (Allport & Ross, 1967), and Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (Gross & John, 2003). For data analysis, Pearson's correlation test and step-by-step regression were performed with SPSS statistical software version 26. Significance level was considered to be 0.05.
Results: The results showed that there is a negative and significant relationship between emotion regulation and insomnia (r=-0.62 & p<0.05), and there is a negative and significant relationship between spiritual belief and insomnia (r=-0.56 & p<0.05). The regression results also indicated that predictive variables could simultaneously predict 31% of the variance in insomnia problems (R2=0.31 & P<0.007).
Conclusion: Based on the results of this research, increasing emotional management and spiritual belief are important factors in improving the sleep status of the nursing personnel.
