Objetivo: analizar los predictores de la mala calidad del sueño en profesionales sanitarios hospitalarios durante la pandemia de Covid-19. Método: estudio transversal con 244 profesionales de la salud de unidades de hospitalización y cuidados intensivos que prestaban servicios en la primera línea de la Covid-19 en Teresina, Piauí. La recolección de datos se realizó entre septiembre de 2022 y mayo de 2023, mediante un cuestionario autoadministrado con datos sociodemográficos y el Índice de Calidad del Sueño de Pittsburgh. Se realizaron análisis descriptivos y regresión logística binaria para identificar predictores de la mala calidad del sueño. Se respetaron las consideraciones éticas. Resultados: los predictores de la mala calidad del sueño fueron ansiedad, dificultad para dormir, tristeza, agotamiento mental y físico, estrés, angustia, frustración, alteraciones en el patrón de sueño y somnolencia diurna. Conclusión: la mala calidad del sueño se asoció con problemas de salud mental, agotamiento físico y alteraciones en el patrón del sueño.
