Abstract

Introduction: Sleep deprivation is the situation of sleep incapacity. There are two classifications: chronic and acute. When there is not proper rest, the patient can get drowsiness, fatigue, weight loss and negative problems in cognitive functions. Objective: To analyze the quality of sleep and factors that disturb it in university nursing students, in the period September-December 2022. Methodology: Quantitative-descriptive and cross-sectional approach. 121 participants were approached using questionnaires (Sleep disturbing factors & Pittsburg sleep quality index) It was validated with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.75 and 0.81, which guarantees the reliability of the instrument. Results: The mean score of the participants of the Pittsburgh quality index is 7 which tells us that the students need medical attention. Conclusions: Despite not presenting several sleep disturbances, university students have poor sleep quality, and they are known as poor sleepers.
