leep is an important need for people to be healthy both
physically and spiritually. As patients need more sleep and
resting, it is important to make nurses, who are responsible
for taking appropriate initiatives for sleeping problems, aware
of sleep qualities and how they should be evaluated. It is
well known that sleeping qualities can be affected by pain,
related to diseases, encounter with unknowns after surgery
and environmental factors and it is aimed to determine the
factors affecting the sleeping conditions of the patients in
surgical clinics and to improve these factors. This descriptive
study was conducted on patients treated in the training and
research hospital surgical services. No sampling was applied
in the study and the patients who were treated on the dates of
the study (May 2016-December 2017) constituted the sample.
Data has been collected through the personal characteristics
data sheet and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Scale using face-
to-face interview method. The data of the study were evaluated
by appropriate statistical methods. Statistical significance
level was accepted as p<0.05. Two hundred and ninety seven
patients have participated in the study, 44.7% of the patients
were women and 55.3% were male. When the sleeping qualities
are examined according to the personal information form of
the participants, there was a statistically significant difference
in terms of gender, hospital information state, daily sleep time,
hospitalized clinic and hospital stay period (p<0.05). When
the patients’ sleep quality during hospitalization is considered
to be low according to the scale results; it is recommended
that patients should be informed about the diseases and the
interventions to be done. The influence on the sleep routine
has to be prevented and the treatment and maintenance of the
patient has to be planned to avoid any change in the sleeping
patterns.
