该研究旨在描述心力衰竭患者关于导致睡眠困难的因素以及这些因素与睡眠质量的关联的报告。这项横断面研究涉及400例心力衰竭患者的非概率样本（平均年龄57.8岁，64.8%为男性，平均教育年限6.1年，82.5%为功能II或III级）。与睡眠困难相关的主要因素是：失眠、夜间睡眠中断和呼吸困难。心力衰竭患者的睡眠困难是多种多样的，这些困难与睡眠质量之间存在关联。大多数这些疾病需要专业的护理干预。
The study aimed to describe the reports of heart failure patients on the factors that cause difficulties to sleep and the association of these factors with the quality of sleep. This cross-sectional study involved a non-probabilistic sample of 400 patients (mean age 57.8 years, 64.8% were men, average education of 6.1 years, 82.5% in functional class II or III) with heart failure. The main factors associated with sleeping difficulty were: nocturia, interrupted sleep at night and breathing difficulty. Sleeping difficulties in heart failure patients are diverse and there is an association between these difficulties and quality of sleep. Most of these disorders warrant professional nursing interventions.
