The Effect of Perception of Envıronmental Stressors on Sleep Quality of Patients Treated in Intensive Care Unit

Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of perceived environmental stressors on sleep quality of patients treated in the intensive care unit. Materials and Methods: The sampling of this descriptive, cross-sectional and relational design study was 270 patients who were hospitalized in a second line general intensive care unit of a public hospital. Data were collected using "Patient Consent Form", "Patient Identification Form", "Pittsburg Sleep Quality Scale (PSQI)" and "Intensive Care Unit Environmental Stressors Scale (ICUESS)". Independent Sample t test, One Way ANOVA, Tukey HSD Post-hoc test, Spearmen Correlation Analysis, Kruskal Wallis Test, Mann Whitney U test were used to evaluate the data. Results: Mean PSQI total score of the participants was 15.01 ± 2.69, and sleep quality was poor. The mean total score ICUESS was 128.32 ± 16.37. A weak positive correlation was found between environmental stressor level and subjective sleep quality subscale total scores (p<0.05). As the environmental stressor level of the patients increased, sleep latency subscale total scores increased (r:0.163). As the environmental stressor level of the patients increased, total subscale scores of sleep duration decreased (r:0.154). As the environmental stressor level of the patients increased, the subscale total scores of the duration of day time dysfunction also increased (r:0.461). Conclusions: The sleep quality of the patients is poor and the level of influence from environmental stressors is moderate. As the environmental stressor level of the patients increases, sleep quality is negatively affected.
