The purpose of this longitudinal study was to investigate the sleep quality and related factor within the first week of hospitalization. Forty-seven patients were interviewed during five consecutive days to collect information about Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Brief Pain Inventory Taiwanese (BPI-T) and Numeric Rating Scale (NRS-pain, anxiety, depression and fatigue). Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, paired t-test, one-way ANOVA, repeated measured ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation and multiple regression. The results showed that (1) the sleep quality were significantly statistical difference after burn injury; (2) 72.34% (n = 34) patients reported sleep disturbances; (3) sleep disturbances in acute burn patients was mild level in general; (4) pain intensity, anxiety, depression and fatigue were positive correlated with sleep disturbances analyzed by Pearson’s correlation; and (5) However, only pain intensity could explain the variance of sleep disturbances (R2 = 20.5%). The results of this study confirmed that pain, anxiety, depression and fatigue were related to sleep quality of acute burn patients, especially level of pain intensity. Results of the study suggest that building a systemic pain assessment and management are important to help acute burn patients to have better sleep quality.
