Richards-Campbell Sleep Scale In 1987, Richards K developed the Richard-Campbell Sleep Scale. It is used to evaluate sleep quality in patients and patients in the intensive care unit. The Richards-Campbell Sleep Scale evaluates sleep depth, time to fall asleep and number of awakenings, as well as sleep efficiency and quality with 6 questions. The sixth question was adapted to assess perceived night noise. The first 5 questions are taken into the calculation of the score, the score of the 6th question is not added. It is scored on a visual analog scale ranging from 0 mm to 100 mm, and low scores (0-25 points) represent poor sleep and higher scores (76-100 points) represent good sleep. The mean score of the five items is known as the total score and represents the overall perception of sleep.

State-Trait Anxiety Scale It is a scale used to evaluate the status, continuity and anxiety of patients. It is widely used in hospitals and clinics. The scale is in the form of two separate scales and consists of a total of forty items.

The total score calculated from the two scales varies between 80 and 20. The higher the total anxiety score, the higher the anxiety level, and the lower the anxiety level, the lower the anxiety level.
