Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Patient Identification Form

  Patient Identification Form was created by scanning the literature for this study. In this form, there were 10 questions in total. The questions included the first letters of the name and surname of the patient for coding purposes. The other questions were about age, marital status, employment status, educational status, drinking and smoking habbits, participation in exercise training, exercise and sleep patterns.

• Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index

  Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index was a 24-item scale and it was used to evaluate sleep quality and disturbance of the previous month. 19 of the questions were self-report questions and those were answered by the patient. The question number 19 was about the availability of a roommate or spouse and it was not used in scoring. The remaining 5 questions of 24 were to be answered by a spouse or a roommate, they were also not included in the scoring. The 18 scored questions of the scale consisted of 7 components which were Subjective Sleep Quality, Sleep Latency, Sleep Duration, Habitual Sleep Efficiency, Sleep Disorder, Sleeping Drug Use, and Daytime Dysfunction. Each component was evaluated with a score between 0 and 3 points. The total score of the 7 components was accepted as the score of the scale. Therefore the total score of the scale was between 0 and 21 points. A total score greater than 5 was accepted to be "poor sleep quality".

  a day before the education

• Fatigue Severity Scale

  Fatigue Severity Scale was cited as the best example among one-dimensional scales. This scale consisted of 9 questions in total and the person indicated how much he or she agreed with each question by choosing a value between 1 and 7 where 1 means I totally disagreed and 7 means I totally agreed. The score range of the scale was between 9 and 63 points. A score of 36 or higher indicated severe fatigue. The total score was calculated by taking the average of 9 answers. The cut-off value for pathological fatigue was determined as 4 and above.
