Abstract

Introduction: Sleep is a physiological process essential to the body's homeostasis, with a direct impact on physical and mental health, as well as functional performance. Among nursing students, especially those in the final stages of their undergraduate studies, various factors may negatively affect sleep quality, compromising academic performance and clinical practice capabilities. Objective: This study analyzed the association between sociodemographic, economic, and work-related variables and the sleep patterns of final-year undergraduate nursing students. Methods: A cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach was conducted. Data were collected in September 2024 from 250 students enrolled at a higher education institution. Results: The evaluation revealed a predominance of poor sleep classification in 98.8% (247) of participants, with 62.8% (157) scoring within the range indicating the presence of sleep disorders. Students without leisure time were 3.58 times more likely to have habitual sleep efficiency below 65% (p = 0.038). Exhausted participants were 2.55 times more likely to experience significant daytime dysfunction (p = 0.016) and 3.96 times more likely to present sleep disorders (p = 0.016). Conclusion: Regression analysis revealed that fatigue level and leisure time are the main factors impacting sleep quality among students.
