Özet:

The study was carried out descriptively to determine the quality of sleep, depression levels and factors affecting Behçet patients. Some patients who agreed to participate in the study were included in the study. The data of the study were collected with the "Patient Information Form" prepared by the researchers, "Pitsburg Sleep Quality Index", "Beck Depression Scale Behçet's Disease Quality of Life Scale" and "Behçet's Disease Current Activity Form". In the evaluation of the data, Mann Whitney U and Spearman correlation analyses were performed. It was determined that the average age of the patients was 37.38 ± 8.33 years, 90.9% of them were male and the average duration of the disease was 7.54 ± 4.72 years. It was found that patients with genital ulcers had a significantly higher PSQI score (p <0.05). In terms of other descriptive features, there was no significant difference between PSQI, BDI, BDIQ scores (p> 0.05). It was determined that there was a significant relationship between the disease activity score and PSQI, BDI, SCQQ scores (p <0.05). In addition, there was a significant positive correlation between the three scales (p <0.05). It was concluded that disease activity was an important determinant in Behçet’s patients in terms of sleep quality, depression level and quality of life. It is believed that the quality of sleep, depression level and quality of life of the patient can be improved by keeping the disease activity under control.
