Objective: Iron deficiency is the most common cause of anemia in our country as well as all over the world. In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the subjective sleep quality of patients with iron deficiency anemia in childhood.

Materials and Methods: One hundred thirty patients diagnosed with iron deficiency anemia and 110 healthy individuals, gender and age-matched, who applied to the Pediatrics clinic between April 2022 and September 2022, were included in the study. All participants were requested to fill out three forms: a socio-demographic form (age, gender, income level), hemogram laboratory findings and The Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) measures subjective sleep quality, was applied, and the data were analyzed.

Results: Total PSQI score was 6.563.51 in patients, and 4.362.34 in controls. There was a difference between the study and control groups in terms of low hemoglobin, hematocrit, mean erythrocyte volume (MCV) and mean erythrocyte hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) values and decreased sleep quality.

Conclusion: Iron deficiency anemia is a significant public health problem that adversely affects sleep quality in childhood.

Demir Eksikliği Anemisi Olan Çocuklarda Uyku Kalitesi

Öz

Amaç: Tüm dünyada olduğu gibi ülkemizde de aneminin en sık sebebi demir eksikliğidir. Bu çalışmada çocukluk çağında demir eksikliği anemisi saptanan hastalarda sübjektif uyku kalitesinin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır.

Materyal ve Metot: Nisan 2022-Eylül 2022 tarihleri arasında Pediatri kliniğine başvuran yaşları ve cinsiyetleri eşleşmiş 130 demir eksikliği anemisi tanısı alan hasta ve 110 sağlıklı birey çalışmaya dahil edildi. Tüm katılımcılara yaş, cinsiyet, gelir düzeyleri gibi sosyodemografik bilgileri, hemogram laboratuvar bulguları ve subjektif uyku kalitesini ölçen Pittsburg Uyku Kalitesi İndeksi (PUKİ) ölçeğini içeren 3 formdan oluşan anket uygulandı. Veriler analiz edildi.

Bulgular: Hasta grubun toplam PUKİ puanı 6,563,51 kontrol grubun 4,362,34 idi.
Düşük olan hemoglobin, hematokrit, ortalama eritrosit hacmi (MCV) ve ortalama eritrosit hemoglobin konsantrasyonu (MCHC) değerleri ile azalmış uyku kalitesi açısından çalışma ve kontrol grubu arasında fark saptanmıştır

Sonuç: Önemli bir halk sağlığı sorunu olan demir eksikliği anemisi çocukluk çağında uyku kalitesini kötü yönde etkilemektedir.
