Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the sleep quality of patients with lung resection by posterolateral thoracotomy and to determine the factors affecting sleep. Materials and Methods: This study was carried out between May 2017 and August 2017 in the chest surgeon clinic and 70 patients between the ages of 18-75 who were admitted to surgery with posterolateral thoracotomy were taken. Data were collected using the Personal Information Form, a Form of Factors Affecting Sleep Pattern (FFASP) and the Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Data analysis was performed at 95% confidence interval using number, percent, mean, standard deviation, Student t-test, paired t-test, Mann-Whitney U, Kruskal-Wallis, One-Way ANOVA and p0.05). The factors that most affect sleep quality were the excessively bright room, the pain, the heat of the room and the lack of air. Conclusion: Patients with lung resection with posterolateral thoracotomy are experiencing intensive sleep problems after surgery. Sleep quality of patients should be determined after surgery, sleep pattern changes should be identified, evaluations should be performed to evaluate the patient’s sleep adequacy. |
