Fig. (1) Inpatient Circadian Care (TICC). Biological rhythms are regulated by the environment due to the presence of timers or Zeitgebers (1). Disease is characterized by structural and functional changes that can be caused by alterations in biologic rhythms and/or interfere with the internal rhythms of the individual (2). Hospitalization represents a new environment for the patient, with new ambient timers that can complicate the recovery of the patient (3). The role of nursing is to intervene with the factors, both external and individual, that contributes to the desynchronization of the internal rhythms to favor patient´s recovery.
