Abstract:

Backround:Engelli çocuklar genelde informal aktivitelere katılım eğilimi içersindedirler.Purpose:It was conducted to determine the relationship between activity performance intervention and sleep quality in individuals with Learning Disabilities.Materials and Methods: The sample of the study consisted of children with a mean age of 19.88 ±7.72 years in a private education institution in Ankara. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and children's Activity performance and satisfaction levels were evaluated with the Canadian Activity Performance Measurement (COPM). The intervention was organized as 2 sessions per week for 3 months. Results: When we look at the type of disability of their children; It was determined that 50% had intellectual disability, 16.7% had learning difficulties, '11.1% had cerebral palsy, '5.6% had moderate intellectual disability. The COPM -p score was 6.11±2.39 before the application and 9.44±0.85 after the application. Before the application (COPM-t) was 5.38 ± 2.090 and after 8.94 ± 1.30. PQI was 3.44±1.72 before the application and 1.94 ±1.39 after. It was determined that sleep quality increased after the application. A statistically significant increase was found in the number of activities (p=0.000*, t=-3.66). A statistically significant difference was found between the COPM measurements of the individuals after the intervention (p<0.05). COPM P and COPM t scores increased after activity training (p=0.000). No relationship was found between COPM and PUKI. Conclusion: Considering the environmental and activity-related factors of individuals, it is necessary to plan studies that include more evaluation and intervention approaches for activity performance and satisfaction.
