Abstract

Background: Identification of the factors related to students' academic success and clinical self-efficacy plays a significant role in their ability to provide independent patient care. The present study was conducted to investigate the relationship of cell phone overuse with sleep quality and self-efficacy in the clinical performance of nursing and midwifery students. Materials and Methods: This descriptive-correlational study was conducted on 211 nursing and midwifery students of Isfahan University of Medical Sciences in 2021-2022. Data collection tools included the Cell-Phone Over-Use Scale (COS), the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and the Self-Efficacy in Clinical Performance (SECP). Data were analyzed using stata-16 software. Results: 28% of students had cellphone overuse and 63% had poor sleep quality and 17.10% had low self-efficacy in clinical performance. Students with cellphone overuse had higher levels of poor sleep quality compared to those with normal levels of cellphone use (p < 0.05). Moreover, those with poor sleep quality had lower self-efficacy for clinical performance (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Cell phone overuse can reduce self-efficacy in clinical performance by interfering with students' sleep quality. Thus, students should be trained to use cell phones more appropriately. © 2024 Iranian Journal of Nursing and Midwifery Research.
