Abstract
PURPOSE: This research was conducted to determine the effects of sleep hygiene training given to pregnant women with restless leg syndrome on their sleep quality. METHODS: This study was conducted using a quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test, and a control group. When the power analysis was made, a sample size with 5% two-sided significance, 95% confidence interval, and 95% ability to represent the population was calculated to have a total of 128 pregnant women. The sleeping hygiene training was given to two sessions of the experiment group. A personal identification form and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index were used for the collection of data. Percentage distribution, arithmetic mean, standard deviation, and chi-square were used for statistical evaluation in addition to dependent and independent groups t tests. RESULTS: PSQI pre-test mean values revealed that sleep quality in both groups was similarly poor (p = 0.353). It was determined that the mean post-test score after sleep hygiene training was 7.23 ± 2.17 in the experiment group and 10.54 ± 2.20 in the control group, while the difference between the groups was statistically significant (p = 0.000). Accordingly, it was determined that the sleepers in the experimental group had better sleep quality than those in the control group. CONCLUSIONS:Sleep hygiene training given to pregnant women with restless leg syndrome increased sleep quality.
