Objective: to evaluate the association of the burnout syndrome
with daytime sleepiness and sleep quality among technicallevel
Nursing students. Method: a cross-sectional, analytical
and quantitative study, conducted with 213 students from
four technical Nursing courses in a city of Paraná, Brazil. Data
collection was carried out using an instrument containing
characterization information, the Maslach Burnout Inventory -
Student Survey, the Epworth Sleepiness Scale and the Pittsburgh
Sleep Quality Index. The data were analyzed using descriptive
statistics and logistic regression. Results: the prevalence values
of the burnout syndrome, excessive daytime sleepiness and
poor sleep quality were 4.7%, 34.7% and 58.7%, respectively.
Excessive daytime sleepiness significantly increased the chances
of high emotional exhaustion (ORadj: 5.714; p<0.001) and high
depersonalization (ORadj: 4.259; p<0.001). Poor sleep quality,
especially sleep disorders, was associated with all dimensions of
the syndrome (p<0.05). Conclusion: high levels of the burnout
syndrome dimensions were associated with excessive daytime
sleepiness and poor sleep quality. Educational institutions should
include sleep hygiene and psychosocial support in their student
health promotion programs.
