Özet

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the reliability and validity of the Parkinson's Disease Sleep Scale (PDSS)-Turkish version. 48 patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease and 48 healthy controls were included in this cross-sectional study. The patients' Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS), Hoehn-Yahr Stage (HYS), and the drugs were recorded. Mini-Mental State Examination was performed in the study population. The professional translation of the PDSS (English to Turkish and Turkish to English) was done by a neurologist and a language educator who was a native English speaker and well versed in Turkish, and it was approved by a certified translation agency as well. PDSS and Epworth Sleep Scale (ESS) tests were performed to 96 subjects. PDSS was repeated 15 days later.
