Abstract:

 This study aims to determine the relationship between sleep quality, insomnia severity, and healthy lifestyle behaviors among pregnant women.The research was conducted with 349 pregnant women who visited a university hospital for pregnancy controls. Data were collected using a Pregnant Information Form, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index PSQI, Insomnia Severity Index ISI, and Healthy Lifestyle Behavior ScaleII HLBES-II. The average PSQI score of the pregnant women was 7.163.96, indicating that 59 of the participants had poor sleep quality. Among those in their first trimester, 51.7 reported poor sleep quality. According to ISI results, 48.4 of the pregnant women experienced clinically significant levels of insomnia. The average total score on HLBS II was calculated as 124.9520.13. It was found that scores on the stress management sub-dimension related to sleep quality were lower in women with poor sleep quality 17.974.17 compared to those with good sleep quality 19.254.31. A significant negative correlation was observed between HLBES II scores and both ISI and PSQI scores p0.05. Findings from this study reveal that nearly half of pregnant women experience insomnia issues, and more than half have poor sleep quality. Furthermore, it has been observed that an increase in healthy lifestyle behaviors is associated with improved sleep quality and reduced insomnia severity among these women.

 Bu araştırma gebe kadınlarda uyku kalitesi, uykusuzluk şiddeti ve sağlıklı yaşam biçimi davranışları arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Araştırma bir üniversite hastanesine gebelik kontrolleri için başvuran 349 gebe ile yürütülmüştür. Veriler Gebe Bilgi Formu, Pittsburgh Uyku Kalitesi İndeksi PUKİ, Uykusuzluk Şiddeti İndeksi UŞİ ve Sağlıklı Yaşam Biçimi Davranışları Ölçeği II SYBDÖ II ile toplanmıştır. Gebe kadınların toplam PUKİ puanı 7,163,96 olup, 59unun uyku kalitesinin kötü olduğu bulunmuştur. UŞİ sonuçlarına göre gebelerin 48,4ünün klinik olarak önemli düzeyde uykusuzluk yaşadığı belirlenmiştir. Gebelerin SYBDÖ II toplam puan ortalaması 124,9520,13 olarak belirlenmiştir. Kadınların uyku kalitesine göre ölçeğin puan ortalaması incelendiğinde; stres yönetimi alt boyut puan ortalamasının uyku kalitesi kötü olan kadınlarda 17,974,17, uyku kalitesi iyi olan kadınlardan 19,254,31 düşük olduğu saptanmıştır. SYBDÖ II ile hem UŞİ hem de PUKİ toplam puan ortalaması arasında negatif yönde anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmuştur p0,05. Bu araştırmadan elde edilen sonuçlar, gebelerin yarıya yakınında uykusuzluk sorunu olduğu ve yarısından fazlasının uyku kalitesinin kötü olduğunu göstermiştir. Gebelerin sağlıklı yaşam biçimi davranış düzeyi yükseldikçe uyku kalitesi yükselmekte, uykusuzluk şiddeti ise azalmaktadır.
