Emergency nurses aged \u226518\u202fyears, with \u22651\u202fyear of emergency care experience, and no psychiatric disorder history were included. Nurses undergoing advanced training or those on sick leave, maternity leave, or breastfeeding leave for \u22651\u202fmonth were excluded. Participants completed a structured questionnaire including demographic data, an occupational stress assessment using a five-point Likert scale from 1 to 5, and sleep disorder quality evaluation. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify factors associated with sleep disorders, whereas Spearman\u2019s correlation analysis evaluated the relationship between occupational stress and sleep disorders.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A total of 1,551 questionnaires were collected. After excluding 11 invalid responses, 1,540 were analyzed. Binary logistic regression identified key risk factors for sleep disorders, including 11\u201315\u202fyears of work experience (OR\u202f=\u202f1.692), weekly working hours of 49\u201358\u202fh (OR\u202f=\u202f1.784) or \u226559\u202fh (OR\u202f=\u202f2.268), night shift frequency, and overcommitment scores (OR\u202f=\u202f1.098). A significant positive correlation was found between occupational stress and sleep disturbances (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      &amp;lt;\u202f0.05).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>These findings highlight the need for hospital administrators to implement targeted interventions, such as psychological support programs, shift rotation optimization, and stress management training.
