Abstract

Aim: This study was conducted to determine the relationship between the fatigue level of patients with blood and blood product transfusion and sleep hygiene.

Materials and Methods: The descriptive study was conducted with 210 individuals receiving blood and blood product transfusion treatment living in the XX XX Family Health Center region between February and August 2022. The sample group was selected from the population using the random sampling method. Survey Form, Fatigue (FACIT-F) Scale, and Sleep Hygiene Index (UHI) were used to collect the data of the study.

Results: In the study, a significant difference was found between patients' perceived income level, perceived health level, diagnosis of disease, smoking status and severity of fatigue (p<0.05). In the study, a significant relationship was found between the patients' marital status, perceived income level, disease diagnosis, smoking status, age and sleep hygiene (p<0.05).

Conclusions: In the study, a statistically significant relationship was found between the fatigue level of the patients and their sleep hygiene.
