Behçet Hastalarının Uyku Kalitesi, Depresyon Düzeyi ve Etkileyen Faktörler

The study was carried out descriptively to determine the quality of sleep, depression levels and factors affecting Behcet patients. 44 Behcet patients who agreed to participate in the study were included in the study. The data of the study were collected with the “Patient Information Form” prepared by the researchers, “Pitsburg Sleep Quality Index”, “Beck Depression Scale Behcet's Disease Quality of Life Scale” and “Behcet's Disease Current Activity Form”. In the evaluation of the data, Mann Whitney U and Spearman correlation analyzes were performed. It was determined that the mean age of the patients was 37.38 ± 8.33 years, 90.9% of them were male and the mean duration of the disease was 7.54 ± 4.72 years. It was found that patients with genital ulcers had a significantly higher PSQI score (p 0.05). It was determined that there was a significant relationship between the disease activity score and PSQI, BDI, SCQQ scores (p <0.05). In addition, there was a significant positive correlation between the three scales (p <0.05). It was concluded that disease activity was an important determinant in Behcet's patients in terms of sleep quality, depression level and quality of life. It is thought that the quality of sleep, depression level and quality of life of Behcet patients can be improved by keeping disease activity under control.
