Abstract (English): Objective. To investigate the relationship between disturbing environmental stimuli with sleep quality and cognitive failures in intensive care unit nurses, taking into account the mediating role of mood. Methods. A cross-sectional study was done with the participation of 201 intensive care unit nurses who were selected by census method from public hospitals in western Iran. Questionnaires were used to collect data, including: pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI), occupational cognitive failure questionnaire (OCFQ), Brunel Mood Scale (BRUMS), environmental annoyance and perceived noise annoyance. Modeling was done with univariate linear regression and multivariate regression. Results. The results of the study revealed that 84.1% of the participants had poor sleep quality. 13.3% experience cognitive failures at a low level, 61.7% at an average level, and 7% experience cognitive failures at a high level. By examining the mediating role of mood, it was found a significant and negative relationship between positive mood and: annoying environmental stimuli and people's positive mood (p=0.004) and noise annoyance (p=0.002); another significant and negative relationship was also observed between noice annoyance and cognitive failures (p<0.001).Conclusion. Considering the mediating role of mood in the effect of environmental variables on cognitive failures and quality of sleep, it is recommended to use psychological interventions to adjust nurses' mood.

Abstract (Spanish): Objetivo. Investigar la relación entre los estímulos ambientales molestos con la calidad del sueño y las fallas en el rendimiento cognitivo en enfermeras de la Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos -UCI-, teniendo en cuenta el papel mediador del estado de ánimo. Métodos. Estudio de corte transversal en el que participaron 201 enfermeras de UCIs seleccionadas por el método censal de hospitales públicos del oeste de Irán. Para la recolección de datos se utilizaron 5 instrumentos: Índice de Calidad del Sueño de Pittsburgh (PSQI), Cuestionario de Fracaso Cognitivo Ocupacional (OCFQ), Escala de Estado de Ánimo de Brunel (BRUMS), Molestia ambiental y Molestia por ruido percibido. Se realizaron modelos de regresión lineal univariada y de regresión multivariada. Resultados. Los hallazgos del estudio revelaron que el 84.1% de los participantes tenían una mala calidad de sueño. El 13.3% experimenta fallos cognitivos a un nivel bajo, el 61.7% a un nivel medio y el 7% restante a un nivel alto. Al examinar el papel mediador del estado de ánimo, se encontró una relación significativa y negativa entre el estado de ánimo positivo y: los estímulos ambientales molestos y el estado de ánimo positivo de las personas (p=0.004), la molestia por ruido (p=0.002); también se observó otra relación significativa y negativa entre la molestia por ruido y los fallos cognitivos (p<0.001). Conclusión. Se encontró que el estado de ánimo tiene un papel mediador en el efecto sobre las variables ambientales, los fallos cognitivos y la calidad del sueño de las enfermeras que laboran en UCIs. Se recomienda utilizar intervenciones para mejorar el estado de ánimo de esta población en este tipo de servicios. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (Portuguese): Objetivo. Investigar a relação entre estímulos ambientais perturbadores e qualidade do sono e comprometimentos cognitivos em enfermeiros de Unidade de Terapia Intensiva (UTI), levando em consideração o papel mediador do humor. Métodos. Um estudo transversal envolvendo 201 enfermeiros de UTI selecionados pelo método de censo de hospitais públicos no oeste do Irã. Cinco instrumentos foram usados para coleta de dados: Índice de Qualidade do Sono de Pittsburgh (PSQI), Questionário de Falha Cognitiva Ocupacional (OCFQ), Escala de Humor de Brunel (BRUMS), Incômodo Ambiental e Incômodo de Ruído Percebido. Modelos de regressão linear univariada e regressão multivariada foram realizados. Resultados. Os resultados do estudo revelaram que 84.1% dos participantes tinham má qualidade de sono. 13.3% experimentaram lapsos cognitivos em um nível baixo, 61.7% em um nível médio e os 7% restantes em um nível alto. Ao examinar o papel mediador do humor, foi encontrada uma relação significativa e negativa entre humor positivo e: estímulos ambientais irritantes e humor positivo das pessoas (p=0.004), incômodo com ruído (p=0.002); outra relação significativa e negativa também foi observada entre incômodo com ruído e lapsos cognitivos (p<0.001). Conclusão. Foi descoberto que o humor tem um papel mediador no efeito sobre variáveis ambientais, lapsos cognitivos e qualidade do sono de enfermeiros que trabalham em UTIs; recomendase o uso de intervenções para ajustar o humor dessa população neste tipo de serviço.
