Introduction:

The quality of sleep is essential to achieve good mental and physical functioning, being more important in resident doctors, where they are subjected to work and academic demands for which professional and academic performance are affected.

Objective:

To determine the relationship between sleep quality and job satisfaction in resident doctors of the Central Military Hospital in the period 2021.

Methods:

Observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study. Non-probabilistic for convenience. Resident physicians of the Central Military Hospital were included in the 2021 period. The chi-square test was used to cross-match nominal variables. To determine the correlation between the nominal and quantitative variables, Pearson's correlation coefficient was used and p <0.05 was considered significant.

Results:

58.5% correspond to the male sex. The mean age corresponds to 29 ± 2 years. Regarding the characteristics of sleep, 45.3% affirm that they sleep at least 5 hours / day. The hours of sleep registered an average of 5.4 hours. An average of 78.8 ± 26.6 hours per week is recorded. There is a significant association between job satisfaction and sleep quality (p> 0.05) and Odds Ratio = 5.5.

Conclusion:

There is a significant association for the quality of sleep and job satisfaction of resident physicians. It was found that the quality of sleep improves with the greater number of hours worked; however, it was analyzed that, with longer working hours, job dissatisfaction increases for resident physicians.
