Abstract

This correlational predictive study aimed to investigate the level of sleep quality and predictive factors on sleep quality among patients undergoing cardiac surgery in the intensive care unit. Ninety-four participants were patients with cardiac surgery in the intensive care unit at Songklanagarind Hospital who were consecutively enrolled according to the eligibility criteria. Data were collected from November 2021 to July 2022. The instruments included the Demographic and Health-related Data Questionnaire, the History of Sleep Quality Questionnaire, the Sleep Quality During Admission in the Intensive Care Unit Questionnaire, Pain Intensity Scale, the Anxiety Questionnaire, and the Environment Questionnaire. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and hierarchical multiple regression.

 The results showed that the patient had sleep quality at a moderate level. After controlling confounding factors including the history of using sleep medications and having nausea and vomiting, the history of sleep quality; surgical wound pain; anxiety and environment could explain 24.2% of the variance in sleep quality of patients undergoing cardiac surgery (Adjusted R2 change= .242, F= 10.55, p< .001). The history of sleep quality; surgical wound pain and anxiety were predictive sleep quality of patients undergoing cardiac surgery in the intensive care unit, but the environment did not show predictive power on sleep quality (β=.29, p< .001; β= -.29, p< .01; β= -.26, p< .01; β= -.04, p> .05), respectively.

The findings of this study suggest that nurses should assess history of sleep quality, manage surgical wound pain and reduce anxiety to promote sleep quality of patients undergoing cardiac surgery in the intensive care unit.
