Abstract

Background: Adequate rest is crucial for critically ill children's Healing process, Stress reduction, Immune function, and Emotional stability while Promoting sleep in ICUs can improve patient outcomes. Study Aim and Methodology: The study aimed to evaluate the impact of guideline implementation on sleeping patterns and physiological parameters among critically ill children. Study Design and Setting: A quasi-experimental design was used, conducted in the Critical Care Unit at Zagazig University Hospital. Sample and Tools: A convenient sample of 100 critically ill children was included. Data collection tools comprised: 1. Structured interview questionnaire, 2. ST Mary's Hospital Sleep questionnaires, and 3. Physiological parameters assessment tool (pulse, respiration, and mean arterial blood pressure) Results: The majority of critically ill children have significant sleep disturbance, which is linked to physiological factors (heart rate, mean arterial blood pressure, and respiration). In critically ill children in CCUs, poor sleep quality causes significant alterations in heart rate, mean arterial blood pressure, and breathing. Conclusion: The implementation of guidelines positively influenced the enhancement of sleep patterns and physiological metrics in critically ill pediatric patients.
