    OBJECTIVE: This study was conducted to determine the relationship between self-care agency and sleepiness in chronic hemodialysis patients.METHODS: The study was conducted with 75 patients with chronic renal failure in the hemodialysis unit of a training and research hospital in our country. In the descriptive study, the data were collected through a face-to-face questionnaire. The IBM SPSS Statistics 22.0 program was used to evaluate the data.RESULTS: It was determined that there was no significant relationship between self-care agency and sleepiness total scores in chronic hemodialysis patients (p>0.05) and a significant relationship between sleepiness and drug use compliance and mental status in female patients and between diet compliance and sleepiness in patients younger than 52 years of age (p<0.05).CONCLUSION: As a result, it was observed that there was no relationship between self-care agency and sleepiness in chronic hemodialysis patients. We think that working with a larger sample group can lead to clearer results.

    Determination of the risk of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome in individuals aged 18 years and above
    (Assoc Medica Brasileira, 2023) Kiskac, Nese; Kiskac, Muharrem
    OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to increase awareness by determining the risk of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome in individuals aged 18 years and above.METHODS: The study is a descriptive and cross-sectional study. A total of 633 individuals aged 18 years and above participated in the study. The data were collected online from individuals in the form of describing the demographic characteristics of individuals and with the Berlin survey. The IBM SPSS statistics 26.0 program was used in the analysis of the data.RESULTS: In this study, 38.9% of individuals were found to be at high risk for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. A significant relationship was found between the risk of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome and gender, age, body mass index, education level, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes, hypertension, presence of cardiovascular diseases, and smoking (p<0.05).CONCLUSION: The results of this study showed that male gender, increasing age, obesity, presence of chronic disease, and smoking increase the risk of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. Defining the risk of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, especially in risky groups, will be effective in planning health care, increasing the effectiveness of treatment, and improving the quality of life. It is recommended to include this diagnosis in health care protocols and to expand its use in order to plan and repeat trainings that will emphasize its importance.
