Brief summary: There is a high prevalence of poor sleep quality among university students studying in different areas such as medicine, nursing, art, science, social work etc. and in different countries. However, the studies done especially for physiotherapy students, and in Turkey, as well, are not many. Therefore, we aimed to search the sleep quality among physiotherapy students, and observe the association between the health related quality of life and physical activity level of the physiotherapy students.

The physiotherapy students were included. Their quality of sleep will be assessed by Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. The physical activity will be searched by International Physical Activity Questionnaire, and SF-36 will be used to assess quality of life. Data is going to analyzed statistically

Detailed description: Therefore, recent studies are focusing on the sleep quality of university students in different countries, and reporting that medical students pharmacy students, nursing students are experiencing poor quality of sleep. However, to our knowledge, studies done on sleep quality of students and especially the physiotherapy students are not available in Turkey, yet.

Hence, since the university students are one of the high risk groups for developing poor sleep quality, we aimed to evaluate if the sleep quality of the physiotherapy students in both gender are associated with their quality of life and physical activity level.
