Abstract

Abstract: Purpose: This study was conducted to determine the effect of sleep hygiene training given to elderly individuals on daytime sleepiness and fatigue. Design and Methods: The sample size was calculated by G. Power and determined as 134 elderly individuals. The experimental group was trained in sleep, two sessions a week for a total of 2 weeks. Findings: The difference between Epworth Sleepiness Scale and Fatigue Severity Scale posttest mean scores of the elderly individuals in the experimental and control groups were found to be statistically significant ( p < 0.05). Practice Implications: Sleep hygiene training reduced daytime sleepiness and fatigue in older adults.
