ABSTRACT:
Background: According to WHO, Sleep is triggered by a complex group of hormones that are active in the body, and that respond to cues from the body itself and the environment. Sleep disturbance is a frequently overlooked complication of intensive care unit (ICU). The aim of present study is to assess the quality of sleep and to identify the factors influencing quality of sleep among patients in intensive care unit. Materials and methods: A descriptive analytical survey design was used in this study. Total of 54 patients in between the age group of 18-60 who were admitted in the Intensive Care Unit of a Tertiary care unit, Ernakulam were selected using a sample of convenience. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire. Statistical analysis was computed using SPSS software. Results and Conclusion: Out of 54 subjects, 64.8% have good quality of sleep and 35.2% have poor quality of sleep. The study findings revealed that the noise produced by conversation is significantly associated with the quality of sleep among ICU patients (p=0.016). None of the other variables were found to be associated with the quality of sleep among ICU patients (p>0.05).
