Sleep Quality And Fatigue Level Of Patients With Coronary Angiography

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine sleep quality and fatigue levels of patients who underwent angiography in coronary intensive care unit. Methods: This study was performed among individuals who underwent angiography in the coronary intensive unit of a City Hospital in the center of a city in Turkey between December 15, 2018 and April 15, 2019 (n:205). Data were obtained using the Patient Identification Form, Richards-Campbell Sleep Scale, Brief Fatigue Inventory. Results: The mean score of Richard’s Campbell Sleep Scale was 46.01 ± 18.90 in patients undergoing angiography at the coronary intensive care unit. The mean score of the Brief Fatigue Scale was found to be 4.49 ± 1.99. A negative correlation was found between the mean Richard’s Campbell Sleep Scale and Brief Fatigue Inventory and its subdimension scores. The fatigue levels were found to be increased as the sleep quality of the patients decreased. Conclusions: It was determined that patients undergoing coronary angiography had poor sleep quality and high levels of fatigue, and this was caused by several factors. In line with these results, it is recommended to make nursing care plans and consultancy for sleep hygiene and activity planning at regular intervals for individuals at risk.
