Abstract
The present study was aimed at assessing the somatoform and dissociative experiences reported among postgraduate (PG) nursing students and to correlate it with their sleep quality. A descriptive research design with cross-sectional measurement was used. Data was collected from randomly selected PG nursing students (n=100) using standardized instruments such as Somatoform Dissociation Questionnaire 20 (SDQ 20) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Analysis revealed that 5.22% students had somatoform and dissociative experiences and 52.24% had poor sleep quality. There indicated a significant positive correlation (r=0.45, p<0.01) between somatoform and dissociation experiences and sleep quality of PG nursing students. The promotion of sleep hygiene among student nurses would be beneficial for their psychological welfare.
