Abstract
Introduction
Patients admitted to critical care units (ICU) are subject to develop sleep disturbances, caused by multiple factors that are present in this type of units.
Objetive
Describe patients’ perceptions of night rest, to relate them to sociodemographic variables, and determine factors that interfere with their sleep quality.
Methodology
Descriptive, prospective, observational study in an ICU of a tertiary level university hospital. Sleep perception was assessed with the five-item Richards-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire (RCSQ). Sociodemographic and clinical variables were collected. A self-developed questionnaire with 9 questions addressing the main factors mentioned in the literature that influence sleep was utilized. Descriptive and inferential statistics were performed, being considered statistically significant p< 0,05.
Results
The sleep of 75 patients was studied, for 146 nights.
The sleep perception was rated as fair, with moderate ease in falling asleep, average awakenings, and moderate ease in returning to sleep. The mean RCSQ score was 60.22 (SD: 24.81).
It was observed that concern (p< 0.001), noise (p = 0.016), pain (p = 0.008), discomfort (p = 0.001), ambient light (p = 0.026), and the presence of nearby patients (p = 0.027) significantly influenced in the sleep.
Conclusions
Patients’ perception of night sleep was fair. Keeping patients informed, minimizing ambient light and noise, optimizing analgesic guidelines, and promoting a comfortable position could facilitate night rest.
期刊介绍:
Enfermería Clínica is a peer-reviewed scientific journal that is a useful and necessary tool for nursing professionals from the different areas of nursing (healthcare, administration, education and research) as well as for healthcare professionals involved in caring for persons, families and the community. It is the only Spanish nursing journal that mainly publishes original research. The aim of the Journal is to promote increased knowledge through the publication of original research and other studies that may help nursing professionals improve their daily practice. This objective is pursued throughout the different sections that comprise the Journal: Original Articles and Short Original Articles, Special Articles, Patient Care and Letters to the Editor. There is also an Evidence-Based Nursing section that includes comments about original articles of special interest written by experts.
