Primiparous patients who presented for routine cervical cancer screening follow-up were included in the control group. The Turkish version of the Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire (MEQ) and Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) scores were evaluated between groups.Results: A total of 227 patients were assessed, and their MEQ and PSQI values compared according to their fertility situation. There were 110 patients in the study (infertile) group and 117 patients in the control (fertile) group. The evening type chronotype proportion (23.6% vs 0.9%, p 5 patients were higher in the infertile group proportionally (72.7% vs. 21.4%, pConclusions: In the present study we found significantly worse sleep quality, and more evening chronotype in the patients with infertility. |
