Sleep is essential for health and wellbeing. However, many nurses and midwives struggle to achieve good sleep and sometimes consider poor sleep an inevitable part of the professions.

Researchers from the University of South Australia (UniSA) are collecting information about supports, strategies, policies and programs that nurses and midwives have tried, would like and/or are aware of to help promote and enable healthy sleep.

This cross-sectional survey is part of Phase 1 of the “Towards sustained wellness: empowering and supporting Graduate Nurses & Midwives to develop and maintain healthy sleep as they transition to professional practice” research study, which aims to co-design and pilot a Healthy Sleep Program for graduate nurses and midwives.

The study, which involves two Phases, has been funded by the Rosemary Bryant AO Foundation and is being conducted by the University of South Australia (UniSA) in partnership with the Women’s and Children’s Health Network (WCHN).

Anyone who currently works as a registered nurse or midwife, or enrolled nurse, can complete the survey.

Participation is voluntary and involves completing an online survey that should take no longer than 15 minutes.
