Nursing deals directly with this extension, especially those who work in shifts reaching a workload of up to 12 hours. This journey can generate emotional disturbances characterized by subjective feelings of discomfort and accompanied by changes in the level of activity in cognitive functions, language and physiological functions, such as appetite, sexual activity, biological rhythms and sleep quality. Such altered physiological functions can directly influence nursing professionals. The present study aimed to describe the emotional state and to identify if it exerts influence on the sleep quality of the nursing professionals in the day and night shifts. It is a study of observational approach, cross-sectional delineation and descriptive analysis. It was developed in a Federal Public Hospital of university education, together with the nursing professionals of the day and night shifts. The data collection in its entirety was collected from January to December of 2018, using the instruments: Present Emotional Status List, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index Questionnaire and Sociodemographic Characterization Form. The questionnaires were made available according to the work shift of each professional. A total of 74 nurses and 107 nursing technicians participated in the study. The data after being coded and tabulated, passed through statistical analysis through the SPSS version 2.0 program. The study obtained a favorable opinion from the Ethics and Research Committee of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte under CAAE no. 80922717.8.0000.5537. The sociodemographic profile showed a predominance of females for both classes of professionals, in 79% of the sample, with ages ranging from 24 to 45 years, corresponding to approximately 94%. There was a statistically significant difference for the variable more than one work (p = 0.001) and significant similarity for the children variable (p = 0.047). For the variable use of stimulants, they affirmed that 81% of nurses and 75% of nursing technicians use it. Regarding the evaluation of sleep quality, only 22% of nursing professionals presented good sleep quality. Regarding the emotional state, the phrases "I am reflecting", "I am tired", "I am taking care", "I miss someone" and "I am sleepy" presented responses to the intensities more or less and strongly. It is concluded that shift work causes impairment of sleep quality of nursing professionals, who may also be influenced by changes identified in emotional states.Acesso AbertoEmoçõesSonoTrabalho em turnosProfissionais de EnfermagemmasterThesisCNPQ::CIENCIAS DA SAUDE::ENFERMAGEM
