Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Richard-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire
Time Frame: 3 days
It was developed by Richards in 1987. It is a five-item scale that evaluates depth of night sleep, duration of falling asleep, frequency of awakening, duration of being awake when waking up and sleep quality. Each item in the scale is evaluated on a chart between 0 and 100 with visual analogue scale. The minimum score that can be obtained from the scale is 100, and the minimum score is 0. The higher the score on the scale, the higher the sleep quality. The Cronbach alpha coefficient of the scale, developed by Richards was 0.82.
Secondary Outcomes
- State Anxiety Inventory(3 days)
