Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, yetişkinlerin bağlanma tarzlarının ve romantik ilişki kalitelerinin öznel uyku kalitesi üzerindeki etkisini yapısal eşitlik modeli ile incelemektir.
Yöntem: Bu çalışma web tabanlı bir kesitsel çalışmadır. Çalışma, gönüllü olan ve dahil etme kriterlerini karşılayan 122 yetişkinle tamamlandı. Veri toplama araçları olarak İlişki Anketi, Algılanan Romantik İlişki Kalite Ölçeği, Pittsburgh Uyku Kalite İndeksi ve araştırmacılar tarafından oluşturulan anket kullanıldı.
Bulgular: Katılımcıların bağlanma tarzlarına göre uyku kalitesi ile algılanan romantik ilişki kalitesi arasında anlamlı bir fark yoktu (p>0.05). Katılımcıların toplam ilişki süresi ile algılanan romantik ilişki kalitesi (p<0.05) arasında önemli bir ilişki vardı. Katılımcıların uyku kalitesi ile algılanan romantik ilişki kalitesi arasında zayıf bir ters ilişki vardı (r=-.200, p<0.05). Bu çalışma yetişkin bağlanma stilleri, algılanan romantik ilişki kalitesi ve uyku kalitesi arasındaki ilişkiyi inceledi. Planlanan ilişkisel model doğrulanamadı ancak literatüre katkı sağlayacak önemli sonuçlar elde edildi.
Sonuç: Katılımcılar genellikle düşük uyku kalitesi, yüksek düzeyde romantik ilişki ve güvenli bağlanma stillerine sahipti. Katılımcıların ilişkilerinin süresi arttıkça, algıladıkları romantik ilişkinin kalitesi de arttı.

The Effect of Adults' Attachment Styles and Romantic Relationship Qualities on Subjective Sleep Quality: Structural Equation Model Analysis

Öz

Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the effect of adults1 attachment styles and romantic relationship qualities on subjective sleep quality with the structural equation model.
Methods: This study is a web-based cross-sectional study. The study was completed with 122 adults who volunteered and met the inclusion criteria. Relationship Questionnaire, Perceived Romantic Relationship Quality Scale, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and a questionnaire created by the researchers were used as data collection tools.
Results: There was no significant difference between the sleep quality and perceived romantic relationship quality according to the attachment styles of the participants (p>0.05). There is a significant relationship between the participants' total relationship duration and their perceived romantic relationship quality (p<0.05). There is a weak inverse relationship between the participants’ sleep quality and their perceived romantic relationship quality (r=-.200, p<0.05). This study examined the relationship between adult attachment styles, perceived romantic relationship quality, and sleep quality. The planned relational model could not be confirmed, but important results were obtained that will contribute to the literature.
Conclusions: Participants generally had poor sleep quality, high levels of romantic relationships, and secure attachment styles. As the duration of the participants’ relationship increases, the quality of the romantic relationship they perceive also increases.
