ABSTRACT:

Aim

Identify desired training content for shift-working nurses to improve their sleep and fatigue.

Design

A descriptive qualitative design.

Methods

Data not fitting the schema, yet informing content, were analysed inductively.

Results

Three themes aligned with literature-derived topics. Theme 1, Why
