The mean age of the participants was 68.4 (7.4) years between 60-89 years. The findings revealed that the majority 81.7% had poor sleep quality among elderly during hospitalization. A statistically significant mean score differences were observed between sleep pattern and sleep quality in aspects number of awakenings (p = 0.02) and sleep latency (p = 0.03).
