Objective: The aim of the descriptive study is to determine the factors affecting the postoperative sleep quality and sleep patterns of patients hospitalized in the surgical clinic. Materials and Methods: The population of the study consisted of patients hospitalized after surgery in the general surgery clinic of a research hospital in Hatay. With the simple random sampling method, 210 patients who were hospitalized for at least 3 days after surgery were included. Data were collected with the Richards-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire (RCSQ) and the Factors Affecting Sleep Pattern (FASP). Results: The mean age of the patients was 50.57, of which 63.8% were women. It was determined that 36.2% of the patients underwent hepatobiliary system surgery, 81.9% of them were hospitalized for 3 days due to surgical intervention, and 83.3% of them stayed in a double room. It was determined that the most common factors affecting the sleep pattern of the patients were excessive light in the room, room temperature, crowded room and medical devices attached to the body. The mean RCSQ total score of the patients was determined to be 40.89±14.61. A negative correlation was found between FASP scores and RCSQ waking time and sleep quality scores (r=-0.147, p=0.034). Conclusion: It was concluded that the sleep quality of the patients was moderate and the increase in the factors affecting the sleep state decreased the overall sleep quality of the patients. It is recommended to determine the individual and environmental modifiable factors affecting sleep quality before surgery and plan imroving sleep quality nursing interventions.
