Abstract

Aim: The aim of the study is to determine the relationship between vitamin D deficiency in pregnant women and restless legs syndrome. Methods: This descriptive and correlational study was conducted with 367 pregnant women. The research was carried out in the pregnant outpatient clinic of a Hospital in eastern Turkey. Research data were obtained using the Participant Identification Form, Restless Legs Syndrome Diagnostic Criteria, and Women's Health Initiative Insomnia Rating Scale. Descriptive statistics, chi-square testand, t test in independent groups and binary logistic regression were used to evaluate the research data. Results: In the study, it was determined that 25.3% of the pregnant women had restless legs syndrome. It was determined that the risk of restless legs syndrome increased 0.926 times (OR = 0.926, p = .001) as the gestational week increased and 0.717 times (OR = 0.717, p = .001) as the insomnia increased. There was no significant relationship between vitamin D deficiency and restless legs syndrome (p > .05). Conclusion: In the study, it was determined that the risk of restless legs syndrome increased as the gestational week and insomnia increased. It is recommended that pregnant women with restless legs syndrome should be supported more in the later weeks of pregnancy, evaluated in terms of insomnia and tried to improve their sleep quality.

Özet

Amaç: Araştırmanın amacı, gebelikte D vitamini eksikliği ile huzursuz bacak sendromu arasındaki ilişkinin belirlenmesidir. Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı ve ilişki arayıcı tipte olan araştırma 367 gebe ile yürütülmüştür. Araştırma Türkiye’nin doğusunda bulunan bir kamu hastanesinin kadın doğum polikliniklerinde yapılmıştır. Araştırma verileri, Katılımcı Tanıtım Formu, Huzursuz Bacak Sendromu Tanı Kriterleri ve Kadın Sağlığı İnisiyatifi Uykusuzluk Ölçeği kullanılarak elde edilmiştir. Araştırma verilerinin değerlendirilmesinde tanımlayıcı istatistikler, ki kare testi, bağımsız gruplarda t testi ve binary lojistik regresyon analizi kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Araştırmada gebelerin %25.3’ünde huzursuz bacak sendromu olduğu saptanmıştır. Gebelik haftası artıkça 0.926 kat (OR = 0.926, p = .001) ve uykusuzluk artıkça 0.717 kat (OR = 0.717, p = .001) huzursuz bacak sendromu riskinin artığı saptanmıştır. D vitamini eksikliği ile huzursuz bacak sendromu arasında ise anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmamıştır (p > .05). Sonuçlar: Araştırmada gebelik haftası ve uykusuzluk arttıkça huzursuz bacak sendromu riskinin arttığı bulunmuştur. Huzursuz bacak sendromlu gebelerin gebeliğin ilerleyen haftalarında daha fazla desteklenmesi, uykusuzluk yönünden değerlendirilmesi ve uyku kalitelerinin artırılmaya çalışılması önerilmektedir.
