Kazak Salti, Aysun; Topali, Hasret; Türkmen, Osman Oğulcan
Aim: This research aimed to evaluate sleep quality and fatigue among individuals undergoing hemodialysis and to explore the determinants affecting these variables. Methods: This observational investigation was carried out among 78 who were regularly receiving hemodialysis therapy. The research was carried out between May and October 2025 in three different public hospitals among individuals undergoing hemodialysis treatment. Data were gathered using the Patient Information Form (PIF), the Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS), and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Results: The mean score of the hemodialysis patients on the FSS is 4.97 ± 1.11, and the mean PSQI value is 7.76 ± 3.64. A moderately positive and statistically noteworthy relation was observed between the PSQI and FSS scores. Additionally, a low negative meaningful correlation was seen between ferritin levels and the FSS scores, as well as between calcium levels and the PSQI scores. The use of medications related to chronic disease and the PSQI scores were identified as significant predictors of the FSS scores. Conclusion: Fatigue and sleep quality in individuals receiving hemodialysis treatment are related to each other, as well as to biochemical balance and treatment adherence.

Demirağ, Hatice; Cin, Aynur; Hintistan, Sevilay
Objective: This study was conducted as a single-blind, randomized controlled parallel-group study with 50 elderly individuals to investigate the effect of foot bath on sleep quality. Methods: The data were collected using the “Elderly Information Form” and the “Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)” between 1 May 2022-1 July 2022 at a State Hospital in Gümüşhane province. The elderly in the foot bath group were given a foot bath with 41-42°C water for 20 minutes 50 minutes before normal sleep hours. No application was made to the control group except for the administration of data collection tools. The data were analyzed with Chi-square, Friedman, Wilcoxon Sign, and Mann-Whitney U tests. Results: It was determined that at least one of the total PSQI measurements and median scores of all subcomponents obtained from the elderly in the foot bath group differed depending on time (P<.05). However, it was found that there was no statistically significant difference in the sleep latency (B2), sleep duration (B3), habitual sleep efficiency (B4) and sleep disturbance (B5) component measurements obtained from the elderly in the control group depending on time (P>.05). Again, All PSQI subcomponents and total PSQI scores, except for the subcomponent “Habitual Sleep Efficiency (C4)”, decreased throughout the application in the elderly in the foot bath group. Conclusion: As a result, a foot bath improved sleep quality in the elderly. In line with the findings from this study, it is recommended to compare the foot bath with multiple experimental groups for a longer period of time.

Arslan, Neslihan; Bozkır, Eda; Koçak, Tevfik; Akin, Meleksen; Yilmaz, Birsen
The effect of diet on sleep quality has been addressed in many studies; however, whether/how plant-based diets (PBDs) impact sleep-related parameters has not been explored in detail. This review aims to give an overview of the components of PBDs and the possible mechanisms through which PBDs may improve sleep quality. Studies have indicated that diets such as PBDs, which are typically high in fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, whole grains, and fiber, are associated with better sleep outcomes, including less fragmented sleep and improved sleep duration. Several mechanisms may explain how PBDs impact and/or improve sleep outcomes. Firstly, PBDs are characteristically rich in certain nutrients, such as magnesium and vitamin B6, which have been associated with improved sleep patterns. Secondly, PBDs are often lower in saturated fats and higher in fiber, which may contribute to better overall health, including sleep quality. Additionally, plant bioactive compounds like phytochemicals and antioxidants in fruits, vegetables, and herbs may have sleep-promoting effects. According to available data, PBD and Mediterranean diet elements promise to enhance sleep quality; however, it is crucial to note that diets should be customized based on each person’s needs.

İncele - MakaleAçık Erişim2024Scopus SJRQ3The Effect of Smartphone Addiction on Sleep Quality and Lifestyle Behaviors of Adolescents
Göger, Berrin; Kahriman, Ilknur
Many studies highlight the negative impact of smartphone addiction on adolescents’ health. It disrupts sleep habits and lifestyle. The study was conducted to evaluate the effect of smartphone addiction on the sleep quality and lifestyle behavior of adolescents. It was conducted in public high schools in a city center in the Eastern Black Sea Region of Türkiye. The sample consisted of 546 high school students. Data were collected using a Descriptive Information Form for Adolescents, the Smartphone Addiction Scale—Short Version, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and the Adolescent Lifestyle Profile Scale. According to the results, the incidence of smartphone addiction among adolescents differed according to gender, academic achievement, age of first smartphone (p =.044), and daily smartphone use time (p =.000). Mean Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index scores were not significantly different for the same variables. There was a significant difference in mean Adolescent Lifestyle Profile Scale scores according to academic achievement, having a smartphone, and age of first smartphone acquisition. There was a weak positive correlation between smartphone addiction and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index scores and a weak negative correlation between smartphone addiction and Adolescent Lifestyle Scale scores. There was also a weak negative correlation between Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index scores and Adolescent Lifestyle Scale scores. Smartphone addiction negatively affects adolescents’ sleep quality and lifestyle.

Background: Intensive care is a noisy environment for patients and one that affects pain, anxiety levels, and sleep quality. Aims and objectives: To determine the relationship between noise levels and pain, anxiety, and sleep levels in patients in intensive care units. Design: A descriptive and observational study design was used. Methods: This study was conducted between June and December 2018 in a public hospital and included 111 patients admitted to surgical critical care for at least 24 hours. Three Benetech Gm1351 manual sound level metres were used to measure noise. A Patient Information Form, a pain Visual Analog Scale (VAS), the Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, and the Richards Campbell Sleep Questionnaire (RCSQ) were used for data collection. Results: The mean age of the patients was 57.29 years. The mean noise level detected in the intensive care unit was 66.52 dB (dB). Patients' mean pain VAS score was 3.79 ± 1.72, the mean State Anxiety Inventory score was 39.74 ± 2.98, and the mean total RCSQ score was 25.10 ± 13.17. Our findings show that patients in the intensive care unit are exposed to high noise levels and that, while this has no effect on pain, it significantly impacts anxiety and quality of sleep. Conclusions: Noise levels in intensive care units significantly exceed recommended thresholds, and this adversely affects patients' anxiety levels and sleep quality. It is important for suitably restful conditions to be provided for patients, to be aware of the potential for anxiety, and for these factors to be borne in mind when planning nursing interventions. Relevance to clinical practice: Further studies on the effects of noise levels on pain, anxiety, and sleep levels in patients admitted to intensive care units are needed.

Purpose: This study was carried out to determine the burnout levels and sleep quality of nurses in the coronavirus disease-2019 process. Design and Methods: The population of this descriptive and cross-sectional study consisted of all nurses working in hospitals in Turkey. Findings: Nurses' mean scores were compared by gender. The emotional burnout and personal achievement scores of male nurses were higher than those of female nurses. Single nurses had significantly higher emotional exhaustion and depersonalization scores than married individuals. Nurses mostly experienced emotional exhaustion, and burnout levels increased in line with insomnia. Implications for Nursing Practice: Nurses struggling on the frontline during the pandemic were determined to be at risk of insomnia and burnout.
