| Summary: | Objective:The aim of this study was to examine the effect of the level of pain on quality of sleep in women after a cesarean section. This study was designed as a cross-sectional study.Methods:The study was conducted in the obstetrics clinic of a university hospital in Ankara between May-July 2018. No sample selection was done, and the women who had underwent a cesarean section in the six-month period were included in the study. The study was conducted with 320 women. Visual Analogue scale was used to determine the level of pain and sufficiency level of sleep in the women. The Form of Factors that Affect Sleep Pattern (FFASP) was used for the purpose of determining early-stage sleep problems in the women.Results:It was found in the our study that age, work status, and the type of the room (staying alone or with two or more patients) affected the severity of pain and sleep quality in women after a cesarean section. As the severity of pain in women who underwent a cesarean section increased, it was found that the FFASP scores increased and sleep quality decreased.Conclusion:There is a relationship between the severity of pain in women after a cesarean section and the level of sleep sufficiency and quality. |
