N2  - Social jetlag (SJL) refers to an asynchrony between one's chronotype and social working hours, which can be detrimental to health. The current SJL situation in  shift nurses who work in dysregulation is poorly understood. Therefore, this study  aimed to investigate SJL during night shifts and identify the predictors of sleep  quality in rotating shift nurses. A cross-sectional study was conducted in 2018 on a  sample of 132 shift-working nurses from two general hospitals in South Korea (the  response rate was 88.8%). The SJL was measured with the Munich Chronotype  Questionnaire, and sleep quality was measured with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality  Index and the Verran and Snyder-Halpern Sleep Scale. Data analysis was mainly based  on a multiple regression, to identify SJL's influence on nurses' sleep quality. The  average SJL during night shifts was 2 h and 3 min, and the average sleep duration  during night shifts was 6 h 10 min. Multiple regression analysis revealed that SJL,  day-shift fatigue, and sleep quality during night shifts affected nurses' sleep  quality. These variables accounted for 24.7% of the variance in overall sleep  quality. The study concluded that overall sleep quality can increase with decreasing  day-shift fatigue, decreasing SJL, and increasing sleep quality on night shifts.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
