To explore the night sleep quality of shift nurses and the current situation of their daytime tiredness, sleepiness, and to provide evidence for nursing administrators and managers to allocate human resources reasonably and prevent adverse events.The cross-sectional method was utilized to conduct a questionnaire survey among shift nurses in a tertiary teaching hospital in Shandong Province from March to May inclusive, 2017.There was a total of 233 valid questionnaires returned. The prevalence of sleep disorder, daytime tiredness and sleepiness was 45.92%, 16.31% and 13.30%, respectively. The differences of the nurses' sleep quality at night between different ages, marriages, educational backgrounds and professional titles were statistically significant (<0.05) , while the differences of daytime burnout and sleep state between different shift systems were statistically significant (<0.01) . Night sleep quality was positively correlated with daytime tiredness and sleepiness (<0.05) . The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that age, marriage, educational background and professional title had an impact on nurses' sleep quality at night (<0.05) . Shift system had an impact on nurses' daytime burnout and sleep apnea (<0.01) .There was a high prevalence of night sleep disorder, daytime tiredness and sleepiness among the shift nurses. Nursing administrators and managers should pay more attention to the night sleep quality of nurses who aged over 30 years old, married, without a bachelor degree and those with a lower professional rank. Furthermore, the current situation of daytime tiredness and sleepiness among two-shift only nurses was worrisome. Objective: Methods: Results: Conclusion: P P P P P
