Abstract

Background: Burnout and sleep quality can impact the job performance of nurses in terms of effectiveness,
productivity, task execution speed and supervision. Aim: to investigate the relationship between burnout, sleep quality
and job performance among staff nurses at El-Sinbellawin General Hospital. Methods: A descriptive correlational
design was used with a sample of (76) staff nurses at EL-Sinbellawin General Hospitals. Tools of data collection were
Burnout Self-Test, Sleep Quality Scale and Observation Checklist of Nurses Performance Results: More than half of the
studied staff nurses had a highest level of burnout and lowest level of sleep quality. Two third of studied staff nurses had
poor performance. Conclusion: There was statistically significant positive correlation between total sleep quality and
burnout; there was statistically significant negative correlation between burnout and nurses performance. While, the level
of burnout was high. Finally lowest level of sleep quality and job performance was poor. Recommendations: Consistent
physical activity to staff nurses also lengthens the time you spend in the deep, restorative stages of sleep and improves
the symptoms of sleep apnea and poor sleep quality. Furthermore, the performance of staff nurses are regularly
evaluated, with positive performance being rewarded and criticism being given and Offering organized training
programs to help staff nurses manage burnout and develop coping mechanisms.
