Abstract :ABSTRACT Objective: The aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between reflux in pregnancy, sleep quality and prenatal attachment. Material and Method: The study was conducted with 180 pregnant women (case: 90, control: 90). Data were collected using the ‘Reflux Symptom Index’, ‘Personal Information Form’, ‘Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index’ and ‘Prenatal Attachment Inventory’. The research data were analysed by chi-square, t-test and Pearson correlation analysis. Results: In the study, the mean Pittsburgh Sleep Quality total index score of the case group was 11.13±3.25 and 7.02±2.54 in the control group, and the mean Prenatal Attachment Inventory score was 37.33±11.20 in the case group and 43.00±12.64 in the control group. In addition, it was observed that prenatal attachment levels of pregnant women in both groups decreased in parallel with the level of sleep quality. Conclusions: In the study, it was concluded that sleep quality and prenatal attachment levels of pregnant women with reflux were lower than pregnant women without reflux and prenatal attachment levels decreased in parallel with sleep quality.
