| description | Objective: In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the sleep quality and depression status of dementia patients during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Materials and Methods: Patients aged 65 and over with dementia who applied to our polyclinics or those who can be reached from their relatives and those who agreed to participate in our research; a questionnaire consisting of sociodemographic information, “Cornell Scale for Depression in Dementia" and "Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index" was applied.
Results: All of 64 (43.5%) of the participants were male and 83 (56.5%) were female. It was found that 68.7% of the participants had poor sleep quality and 31.3% had good sleep quality. 76.2% of the participants suggested depression, 2.8% did not. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index score and Cornell Scale for Depression in Dementia score did not differ according to educational status, occupation and gender.
Conclusion: In periods such as the pandemic period, which may cause behavioral changes and lifestyle changes, efforts should be made to minimize the changes in the depression status and sleep quality of groups with specific diseases such as dementia, and if necessary, the control examination time intervals should be shortened. |
