Abstract

Objective To evaluate the reliability and validity of Richard-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire Turkish version. Materials and Methods The scale was administered in 50 patients to evaluate the sleep quality and in 50 patients to evaluate the test-retest reliability. Percentage distribution and average evaluation of the data, factor analysis, Pearson’s correlation test, Cronbach’s α reliability coefficient were used for analysis. Results The majority of study participants were male (70.0%), married (96.0%), literate-primary school graduates (68.0%) and the mean age was 58.26±11.36 years. Factor analysis of the scale was the only factor, item-total correlation scores were determined between 0.48 and 0.96 points. The Cronbach alpha reliability coefficient was 0.91. Test-retest analysis of the scale derived from preliminary and final application there was no difference between the mean scores. Conclusion The psychometric properties of the scale was found as good and acceptable.
