Purpose : This study aimed to identify perceived fatigue and quality of sleep among nurses working in long-term care facilities. Methods : A descriptive cross-sectional design was used. Thd data were collected from 101 nurses in long-term care facilities through a self-administered questionnaire. Fatigue was measured using a standardized fatigue scale, and quality of sleep was assessed using selected items that were validated through a content validity test from the tool developed by Kwon (2009). The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-tests, ANOVA, and Pearson’s correlation coefficients. Results : The mean perceived fatigue score among the nurses was 1.97 (±0.68), indicating a relatively low level of fatigue. Among the subdomains, physical symptoms were the highest at 2.03 (±0.54), followed by psychological symptoms at 1.92 (±0.57), and neurological/sensory symptoms at 1.81 (±0.58). The mean score for quality of sleep was 2.75 (±0.70). Significant differences in fatigue levels were observed depending on age (F=3.784, p=.013), marital status (F=7.301, p=.001), and education level (t=–2.562, p=.006). Quality of sleep also differed significantly by sex (t=1.667, p=.049) and average daily sleeping hours (t=2.847, p=.003). A significant correlation was found between fatigue and quality of sleep, indicating that higher fatigue was associated with poorer quality of sleep. Conclusion : The nurses working in long-term care facilities reported relatively low levels of fatigue, and their quality of sleep was at a moderate level. However, considering that these factors influence not only the individual nurses’ well-being but also the quality of patient care, institutional strategies—such as workload management, adequate breaktime, and interventions to improve sleep hygiene—are needed to support nurses health and enhance patient care quality.
