Abstract
Sleep is a repetitive and reversible neurobehavioral state characterized by relative
perceptual detachment and insensibility to the external stimuli. A cross-sectional study
has been conducted to determine mean score sleep quality among diploma and degree
nursing students in USM and UiTM. This study also examined the difference between
sleep quality and academic performance among diploma and degree nursing students in
USM and UiTM. Fisher Exact Test was used to determine the association between sleep
quality and academic performance among nursing students in USM and UiTM. A total of
298 undergraduate nursing students, 196 nursing students from USM and 102 nursing
students from UiTM were recruited through simple random sampling method. Data were
collected from April 2022 until May 2022 using google form and analysed using SPSS
version 26.0 for a window. The result in this study revealed that majority nursing students
in USM and UiTM had poor sleep quality (p = 0.534, p = 0.614). The difference showed
that there is no significant association between sleep quality and academic performance
among nursing students in USM and UiTM (p= 1.000). In conclusion, a good sleep
quality needed for nurses to ensure deliver the best nursing care.
