Journal Title: Acta Medica Ruha - Year 2024, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Introduction: Cancer is one of the diseases experienced by many individuals with high mortality and morbidity rates. Individuals experience biopsychosocial problems during the disease process. This situation negatively affects the process and may delay recovery. In this context, it is very important to identify the problems and the relationship between them in order to support individuals. Objective: This study was conducted to determine the relationship between stress, one of the psychosocial problems experienced by cancer patients, and sleep quality. Method: The population of the study consists of patients receiving inpatient or outpatient treatment in a training and research hospital between 01.09.2022 - 30.11.2022. The sample of the study consisted of 91 patients who met the inclusion criteria and agreed to participate in the study. Data were collected using Personal Information Form, Perceived Stress Scale and Richards-Campbell Sleep Scale. Results: The mean age of the cancer patients who participated in the study was 54.58±15.16 years, 56% were male, 40.6% had low income, 46.3% lived with their spouses and children, and 45% were illiterate. It was determined that 23% of the patients were diagnosed with one of the GIS cancers (oesophagus, stomach, intestine, liver, gallbladder, pancreas...), 49.5% were in the 4th stage of the disease and 54.9% had metastasis. In addition, a negative and moderately significant relationship was found between the total perceived stress and total sleep scores of the participants. Conclusion: According to the results of the study, it was found that sleep quality decreased as the stress perceived by cancer patients increased. In this context, interventional studies are needed to improve cancer patients' coping skills with stress and to improve their sleep quality.
