Materials and Methods A descriptive-correlational research design was adopted to assess sleep quality and job satisfaction among staff nurses and find the correlation between sleep quality and job satisfaction among staff nurses. The study was conducted among staff at Yenepoya Medical College Hospital in Managaluru, including staff nurses in Mangaluru. A total of 221 study participants were selected by non-probability, which is a term used to describe the likelihood or chance of an event occurring. It is a numerical value between 0 and 1, where 0 means that the event will not occur and 1 means that the event is certain to occur. The higher the probability value, the more likely it is that the event will occur."Purposive" is a word used to describe something that is done with a clear purpose or intention in mind."is a word used to describe something that is done with a clear purpose or intention in mind." is a word used to describe something that is done with a clear purpose or intention in mind.sampling technique.
