title: [FACTORS THAT INTERFERE WITH PATIENT'S SLEEP IN THE HOSPITAL].
abstract: The sleep disorders are quite common in hospitalized patients, but are also undervalued by health professionals. The identification of factors that interfere with sleep patients has been the subject of numerous studies.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  To identify factors that interfere with the patient's sleep in the hospital.
  
  
  METHODS
  We performed a research on EBSCO (CINAHL with Full Text; MEDLINE with Full Text; Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews; Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials; Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effects; Medlatina), LILACS (full text available) andSCIELO (Brazil, Spain andPortugal), andsearch full-text articles, publishedfrom 1 January 2007 to 31 December2012. The PI[C]O method was used, and selected six articles from a total of thirty-six.
  
  
  RESULTS
  We identify 20 factors that interfere with the patient's sleep in the hospital and describe particular aspects relevant to each of these factors.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The factors that interfere with the patient's sleep in the hospital were grouped into External (Environmental and Associated to care) and Internal (Physiological and Psychological). The results allow us to realize that these factors are identified, but they still persist in services, interfering with the patient's sleep. Awareness of health professionals is the first step to adopt the measures suggested in this article, in order to reduce the impact of these factors on the patient's sleep in the hospital.
