Study Overview
Brief Summary
There is a high prevalence of poor sleep quality among university students studying in different areas such as medicine, nursing, art, science, social work etc. and in different countries. However, the studies done especially for physiotherapy students, and in Turkey, as well, are not many. Therefore, we aimed to search the sleep quality among physiotherapy students, and observe the association between the health related quality of life and physical activity level of the physiotherapy students.
The physiotherapy students were included. Their quality of sleep will be assessed by Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. The physical activity will be searched by International Physical Activity Questionnaire, and SF-36 will be used to assess quality of life. Data is going to analyzed statistically
