Abstract
Background
Stroke is a life-threatening condition with many complications. Sleep disturbances is one of them. Sleep disturbances effect quality of life, recovery and rehabilitation process. It is crucial to reveal sleep disturbances objectively in stroke patients. The aim of the study is to determine reliability and validity of the Turkish version of General Sleep Disturbance Scale (GSDS-T) in stroke patients.
Methods
After translation and culture validation of the scale was done, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and the Turkish version of the GSDS was applied at admission and at 24 h to the 58 patients with stroke.
Results
Cronbach alpha coefficient of total score was found as 0.850 and test re-test reliability-related Cronbach alpha coefficient was 0.785.
Conclusion
GSDS-T is a reliable and valid tool to assess sleep disturbance in stroke patients.
