The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) was used to treat and analyze the data. Descriptive statistics were generated, and Post Hoc analyses and ANOVA tests were conducted.Results: Findings indicated that working hours duration was significantly associated with nurses’ anxiety (F (4, 394) = 10.362, p < 0.001), depression (F (4, 395) = 23.041, p< 0.001), fatigue (F (4, 395) = 24.232, p< 0.001), sleepiness (F (4, 395) = 4.324, p < 0.002), quality of nursing care (F (4, 395) = 16.21, p < 0.001) and intention leave their job, (F (4, 395) = 50.29, p < 0.001). The results also revealed that working more than 14 hours was negatively associated with their perceived quality of nursing care and positively associated with their perceived ill-being and intention to leave.Conclusion: Shift length is an important issue, and nursing managers must consider shift length as it can adversely correlate with the nurses’ perceptions of work and life.Keywords: nurses, working hours, ill-being, intention to leave, quality of nursing care, COVID-19 |
