Methods:
After translation and culture validation of the scale was done, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and the Turkish version of the GSDS was applied at admission and at 24 h to the 58 patients with stroke.
Results:
Cronbach alpha coefficient of total score was found as 0.850 and test re-test reliability-related Cronbach alpha coefficient was 0.785.
Conclusion:
GSDS-T is a reliable and valid tool to assess sleep disturbance in stroke patients.
