Brief summary
The GSDS-T was developed by Lee KA to assess difficulty falling asleep, waking up during sleep, sleep quality, and daytime alertnes. The Turkish validity and reliability of the scale have been conducted on stroke patients but not on multiple sclerosis patients. The aim of this study is to investigate the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of general sleep disturbance scale (GSDS-T) in patients with multiple sclerosis
Detailed description
The GSDS-T was developed by Lee KA to assess difficulty falling asleep, waking up during sleep, sleep quality, and daytime alertnes. The Turkish validity and reliability of the scale has been conducted on stroke patients but not on multiple sclerosis patients. The aim of this study is to investigate the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of general sleep disturbance scale (GSDS-T) in patients with multiple sclerosis. GSD has 21 questions. This study will be conducted on patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). 126 participants will be included in the study. In order to evaluate the validity of the GSDS-T, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) which can evaluate sleep quality and has been validated in Turkish, will be used. Scales will be repeated after 15 days to assess test-retest reliability.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Sleep disturbances | baseline | Sleep disturbances will be assessed with the general sleep disturbance scale (GSDS). It consists of 21 items in total. Each item is scored on a scale of 0-7 includes six sub-categories: Difficulty falling asleep, waking up from sleep; sleep quality; sleep duration; daytime sleepiness; and taking supplements to help sleep. The total score is the calculated sum of 21 items. The minimum score is 0 while the maximum score is 147 points. Higher scores indicate more sleep disturbances. |
| Sleep quality | baseline | Sleep quality will be assessed with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). The PSQI consists of 24 questions in total. The scale has 7 components: sleep quality (component 1), sleep latency (component 2), sleep duration (component 3), habitual sleep efficiency (component 4), sleep disturbance (component 5), use of sleeping pills (component 6), and daytime sleep dysfunction (component 7). Each component is evaluated on a 0-3 scale. The sum of these 7 component scores gives the total PSQI score. The total PSQI score varies between 0-21. While the sleep quality of individuals with a total score of 5 and below is evaluated as good, the sleep quality of individuals with a score above 5 is evaluated as poor. |
