Abstract

Objectives: The aim of the present study was to determine the effects of perceived pain on quality of sleep and life in patients hospitalized in a pain clinic.
Methods: Population of the present descriptive study composed of patients (>18 years old) treated as inpatients in the algology clinic of a university located at the city center of Sivas, who consented to participate in the study (122 patients). Data were collected through Personal Information Form, Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Short Form 36. Data were analyzed using independent t-test, Mann Whitney U test, Kruskal Wallis test and Pearson correlation test. Statistical significance level was set at p<0.05.
Results: A moderate negative correlation was found between VAS and three dimensions of SF-36, namely Physical Functioning, Role-Physical and Role-Emotional. VAS was weakly and negatively correlated to Vitality and Mental Health. There was a good linear correlation between VAS and quality of life (QoL), pain score while there was a moderate linear correlation between VAS and the total sleep score. It was found that quality of life was not statistically significantly correlated to General Health and Social Functioning.
Conclusion: There is a relationship between pain, sleep quality and quality of life. Quality of sleep and life was found to decrease as the level of pain increased, and quality of life was affected negatively when the quality of sleep was poor. Applications towards resolving pain would have a positive effect on the quality of sleep and life.
