This paper aims to analyze the quality of sleep among nursing students and related factors. It is a cross-sectional, descriptive study developed by undergraduate nursing students at a public university in the South of Brazil from May to June 2017. The quality of sleep was considered as the dependent variable, verified by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. There were 185 participants, average age was 20.4 years old, 9.2% were employed with a workload of more than 20 hours per week and 91.9% were female. Alcohol consumption more than twice a week was reported by 5.4%; daily intake of coffee by 23.2% and smoking by 3.2% of them. Sleep quality was worse in 67.0% of the students. There were no significant associations between poor sleep quality and the variables investigated. The data demonstrate important aspects about the quality of sleep of nursing students and stimulate to reflections regarding peculiar characteristics of this population that can be enhanced for an improvement in the quality of life and sleep of these future professionals.Downloads
