Sleep disturbances of patients were defined with the \u201cpersonal information form\u201d (PIF) prepared by the researchers, while the mental health status of patients was defined with the \u201cBrief Symptom Inventory\u201d (BSI).<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n \n All RLS patients had an increase in BSI subscale points, with a positive correlation to disease severity, and subscale points were significantly higher than the control group (\n p<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.05). Those with the \u201cfrequent waking\u201d problem had higher BSI subscale points compared to those without the problem (\n p<\/jats:italic>\n <0.01 or 0.001). Those with \u201cwaking with respiratory distress,\u201d \u201cdaytime sleepiness,\u201d \u201cvery early waking,\u201d and \u201csleep disorder\u201d problems had statistically significantly high BSI subscale points for all subscales, apart from hostility, compared to those without these problems (\n p<\/jats:italic>\n <0.01 or 0.001).\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n It is considered that assessment of sleep disturbances causing disrupted quality of life and mood disorders is beneficial for the treatment of patients with RLS. Our study data appears to be related to the result that sleep disturbances and mental health disruptions might be associated with the disease severity among RLS patients.<\/jats:p>\n
