Examining the Relationship Between Sleep Quality and Quality of Life in Kidney Transplant Patients

Öz

Objective: This study aimed to examine the relationship between sleep quality and quality of life in patients who had a kidney transplant. Materials and Methods: The research has a cross-sectional and descriptive design. The sample of the study consisted of 77 patients who had a kidney transplant at a university hospital organ transplantation centre between August 2020 and August 2021 and were followed up in the outpatient clinic. An individual identification form, the Quality-of-Life Short Form, and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index were used to collect research data. Descriptive statistics (percentage and number), Pearson’s correlation test, Student’s t-test for independent variables, ANOVA, and linear regression analysis were used in the research analysis. Results: In the study, the mean age of the patients was 47.19±11.29 (min: 24, max: 73), and the mean transplantation time was 94.92±75.23 months. The mean PSQI and SF-36 scores of kidney transplant patients were 4.91±3.09 and 65.49±18.18, respectively. There was a statistically significant correlation between sleep quality and quality of life in kidney transplant patients (r=-0.511, p=0.0001). Conclusions: In the study, the quality of life increased as the sleep quality of the patients increased.

Examining the Relationship Between Sleep Quality and Quality of Life in Kidney Transplant Patients/ Böbrek Nakli Hastalarında Uyku Kalitesi ve Yaşam Kalitesi Arasındaki İlişkinin İncelenmesi

Öz

Amaç: Bu çalışmada böbrek nakli olan hastalarda uyku kalitesi ile yaşam kalitesi arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesi amaçlandı. Gereç ve Yöntem: Araştırma, kesitsel ve tanımlayıcı bir tasarıma sahiptir. Araştırmanın örneklemini bir üniversite hastanesinin organ nakli merkezinde Ağustos 2020-Ağustos 2021 tarihleri arasında böbrek nakli olan ve poliklinikte izlenen 77 hasta oluşturdu. Araştırma verilerinin toplanmasında bireysel tanımlama formu, Yaşam Kalitesi Kısa Formu ve Pittsburgh Uyku Kalitesi İndeksi kullanıldı. Araştırma analizinde tanımlayıcı istatistikler (yüzde ve sayı), Pearson korelasyon testi, bağımsız değişkenler için Student t-testi, ANOVA ve lineer regresyon analizi kullanıldı. Bulgular: Çalışmada hastaların ortalama yaşı 47.19±11.29 (min: 24, max: 73), ortalama nakil süresi 94.92±75.23 ay idi. Böbrek nakli hastalarının ortalama PSQI ve SF-36 puanları sırasıyla 4.91±3,09 ve 65.49±18.18 idi. Böbrek nakli hastalarında uyku kalitesi ile yaşam kalitesi arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki vardı (r=-0.511, p=0.0001). Sonuç: Çalışmada hastaların uyku kalitesi arttıkça yaşam kalitesinin arttığı görüldü.
