Abstract :Objectives: Examining the relation between sleep quality, quality of life, depression and anxiety levels with some endocrinological parameters in pregnancy. Methods: The oral glucose loading test and thyroid function test results of the pregnant women who were in the 24-29 th weeks of pregnancy were used in the study. Non-pregnant women, who were matched with the study group in terms of sociodemographic data, were also included in the study as the healthy control group. All participant completed a standardized sociodemographic data collection form and the following scales; Beck Depression Inventory insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(BDI);, Beck Anxiety Inventory insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(BAI);, Pittsburg Sleep Quality Scale insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(PDCA);, Quality of Life Scale insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(SF-36);. Results: No significant differences were detected between the sociodemographic data of the participants except for the educational status and living area. As a result, statistically significant differences were detected between the “sleep latency” insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p=0.016);, “usual sleep activity ” insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p=0.004);, “sleep disorder” insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p=0.000); subcomponents compared to the control group. For SF-36, on the other hand, the results of the pregnant group in “physical function” insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p=0.000);, “physical role limitation” insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p=0.002); and “pain” insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p=0.000); sub-dimensions were worse than the control group. The Thyroid Stimulating Hormone insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(TSH); value was positively correlated with “sleep time” insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(r=0.233);; the “fasting blood glucose” was positively correlated with “pain” sub-dimensions insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(r=0.497);; and the “physical function” sub-dimension was negatively correlated insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(r=-0.192);. Conclusion: Our data suggest that the depression and anxiety scores of the pregnant women were high, and life and sleep quality was impaired in certain sub-dimensions.
