Summary
ABSTRACT This research was a descriptive study conducted for the purpose of examining the quality of sleep and factors that affect the quality of sleep of Parkinson’s disease patients. The research was conducted in the neurology clinic of a university hospital in Izmir, Turkey. The research sample comprised 103 patients who presented to the neurology clinic of the hospital with a diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease. The research data were collected using a Patient Information Form and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. The research data were analyzed using Independent-Samples t test, tek yonlu varyans, Mann Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis tests. The majority of the patients (74.8%) were determined to have poor quality of sleep (Global PSQI Score >5), and the Global Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index score mean was found to be 9.21 ± 4.54 (Range: 0-20). There was no significant difference in the patients' the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index mean score for different age groups. Female patients were found to have poorer sleep quality than male patients (p 5), Global ve Pittsburgh Uyku Kalitesi Indeksi puan ortalamasinin 9.21±4.54 (Range: 0-20) oldugu bulunmustur. Yas gruplari acisindan ve Pittsburgh Uyku Kalitesi Indeksi puan ortalamasi arasinda anlamli bir fark yoktur. Kadin hastalarin uyku kalitesinin erkek hastalara oranla daha kotu oldugu bulunmustur (p<0.05). Parkinson hastalarinin uyku kalitesini arttirmada yeni yontemler gelistirmek icin ileri arastirmalara gereksinim vardir. Anahtar kelimeler: Parkinson hastaligi, uyku kalitesi, hemsirelik, hemsire.
