Objective: Sleep quality and stress are among the factors affecting daily life in patients with heart failure. This research was carried out to determine the relationship between sleep quality, stress, and coronovirus anxiety in patients with heart failure.
Methods: This study was carried out with 272 patients who were treated with the diagnosis of heart failure and participated in the study voluntarily in the Cardiology Clinic of a university hospital. Data were collected with an evaluation form consisting of “Patient Descriptive Information Form,” “Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index,” and “Coronavirus Anxiety Scale Short Form.”
Results: According to the results of the analysis of the participants, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index total score average was 7.38 ± 3.22, Perceived Stress Scale total score average was 9.48 ± 3.20, and Coronavirus Anxiety Scale total score average was 2.38 ± 3.02. It was determined that there was no relationship between the mean score of the Coronavirus Anxiety Scale and the mean score of the Perceived Stress Scale total and sub-dimensions (P >.05). No significant correlation was found between the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index mean scores of the patients and the Coronavirus Anxiety Scale mean scores (P >.05). A moderately positive correlation was determined between the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index mean score and the Perceived Stress Scale mean score (P <.001).
Conclusion: In our study, in which we examined the relationship between sleep quality, coronovirus anxiety, and stress in individuals with HF, it was concluded that there was no relationship between coronovirus anxiety and sleep quality, and daily perceived stress negatively affected sleep quality.
