“…All of these factors represent common complaints among aged people, as well as the difficulty to fall asleep, assessed in this study by the Sleep Onset Latency component. 9 Hence, the quality of sleep is pointed out as poor, as it does not meet the needs of a quality rest in this age group, which increases the risks of adverse effects.…”

“…The person must draw a perpendicular line to the straight line, where they find the point that expresses the best their situation. 9 It comprehends three scales -Disorder (seven items, possible variation from 0 to 700), Effectiveness (five items, possible variation from 0 to 600, as one of the items is the sum of two others) and Supplementation of sleep (four items, possible variation from 0 to 400). The values of each scale must be taken into account separately for analysis, i.e., there is not a value for all three together.…”

“…The higher the score obtained in the Disorder and Supplementation scales the poorer the quality of sleep; as for Effectiveness, a higher score indicates a better quality of sleep. 9 Initially, a pilot study was carried out for a month, in which adaptations were done regarding inclusion and exclusion criteria, and an open question was introduced concerning the quality of sleep of the aged in hospital. During this period of time, eight samples were collected.…”

“…8 Another instrument is the Verran and Snyder-Halpern Sleep Scale (VSH), 10 which is also valid in Brazil. 9 It analyzes the sleep for 24 hours in a subjective manner and is used with hospitalized patients. 10 There is a small number of studies in this field, despite its importance.…”

The objective of this study was to describe the quality of sleep of aged individuals at home and in hospital. Descriptive study, conducted in the wards of a university hospital in São Paulo, Brazil, with 160 individuals (57.5% men, mean age 69.8 years) admitted for a period between 48 hours to five days, who were able to answer the instruments. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index was used at home and a visual analog scale of sleep in the hospital. This scale indicated satisfactory sleep quality and moderate daytime sleepiness. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index indicated poor quality of sleep at home (69.4%), more particularly sleep fragmentation for the majority of subjects. Data indicating poor quality of sleep at home emphasize the need for assessing the quality of sleep of the elderly, especially its fragmentation, as well as the need for studies that give support to practices that promote good sleep quality during hospitalization, aiming at clinical recovery.

“…Both, the MT and control participants were evaluated for their pain and fatigue levels and their sleep quality each morning following the previous night Pain and fatigue were evaluated by the VAS, as described above, during the preoperative period. Sleep quality was evaluated by the VAS of sleep, which has been previously adapted and validated in Portuguese 11. The VAS of sleep consisted of 16 items from 3 categories as following: sleep disorder scale, effectiveness scale and supplementation scale.…”

INTRODUCTION:Poor sleep quality is common among patients following cardiopulmonary artery bypass graft surgery. Pain, stress, anxiety and poor sleep quality may be improved by massage therapy.OBJECTIVE:This study evaluated whether massage therapy is an effective technique for improving sleep quality in patients following cardiopulmonary artery bypass graft surgery.METHOD:Participants included cardiopulmonary artery bypass graft surgery patients who were randomized into a control group and a massage therapy group following discharge from the intensive care unit (Day 0), during the postoperative period. The control group and the massage therapy group comprised participants who were subjected to three nights without massage and three nights with massage therapy, respectively. The patients were evaluated on the following mornings (i.e., Day 1 to Day 3) using a visual analogue scale for pain in the chest, back and shoulders, in addition to fatigue and sleep. Participants kept a sleep diary during the study period.RESULTS:Fifty-seven cardiopulmonary artery bypass graft surgery patients were enrolled in the study during the preoperative period, 17 of whom were excluded due to postoperative complications. The remaining 40 participants (male: 67.5%, age: 61.9 years ± 8.9 years, body mass index: 27.2 kg/m2 ± 3.7 kg/m2) were randomized into control (n = 20) and massage therapy (n = 20) groups. Pain in the chest, shoulders, and back decreased significantly in both groups from Day 1 to Day 3. The participants in the massage therapy group had fewer complaints of fatigue on Day 1 (p = 0.006) and Day 2 (p = 0.028) in addition, they reported a more effective sleep during all three days (p = 0.019) when compared with the participants in the control group.CONCLUSION:Massage therapy is an effective technique for improving patient recovery from cardiopulmonary artery bypass graft surgery because it reduces fatigue and improves sleep.

The aim of this study was to adapt the English version of the Visual Analog Sleep Scale (VAS Scale) to Turkish, and to assess the validity and reliability of this Turkish version. Material and methods: The study design was both descriptive and methodological. The study group was comprised of 75 patients, who agreed to participate in the study. Each had received total hip replacement surgery in an orthopedic clinical hospital. Data was collected using a Turkish translation of the VAS Scale. Psychometric testing of the adapted instrument was carried out to establish internal consistency, interim correlation, and construct validity. The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin and Barlett's tests were applied to determine the sampling adequacy and suitability to the factor analysis. Results: The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin value was found to be 0.89, and this value indicates suitability for principal component analysis. Similarly, Barlett's test results (X 2 = 608.74, p = 0.000) also indicate the interrelationships of the data and suitability for the factor analysis. The eigenvalue of the VAS Scale reduced to 10 items was found to be 6.65 and the variance was 66.52. The VAS Scale Cronbach's alpha was 0.82 for the test items. The test-retest stability coefficient (validity of the scale) was 0.92. Alpha coefficient was found to be 0.94 for internal consistency. Conclusion:The original VAS Scale consisted of three sub-scales and 15 items, whereas the Turkish version has one dimension and 10 items. The Turkish version of the VAS Scale adapted to the orthopedics clinic can be used as a one-factor tool.
