- Abstract
Objective: to identify sleep stressors for nursing professionals in the intensive care unit. Method: crosssectional, descriptive, study with a quantitative approach, conducted with 51 nursing professionals, having a professional experience of more than 6 months. Data were collected by applying structured questionnaires and the Environmental Stressor Questionnaire. The results were analyzed descriptively and presented as figures. Results: from the professionals' perspective, the most stressing factors for the sleep of patients admitted to an intensive care unit were: "being afraid to die," "feeling pain," and "being unable to sleep;" 36.7% of the professionals said they have acquired knowledge about sleep during the basic education process (undergraduate course/technical course). Conclusion: nursing professionals recognized that fear of death was on top among the very stressing factors to the sleep of a patient in the intensive care unit and that the restorative sleep is affected by these elements.
