ÖZET
 Amaç: Çalışmanın amacı, hastanede yatan 1-36 aylık bebeklerin hastane ve evdeki uyku alışkanlıkları ve uyku sorunlarını etkileyen faktörleri belirlemektir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Araştırmaya çocuk hastanesinde yatan 1-36 aylık bebeğe sahip 200 anne katıldı. Çalışmada bebeklerin klinik ile evdeki uyku süreleri çeşitli değişkenler açısından incelenmiştir. Araştırmada ''Bebek (Kısa) Uyku Sorunları Tanılama Formu'' ve literatür doğrultusunda araştırmacı tarafından hazırlanan ''Bebek ve Uyku Bilgi Formu'' anketi kullanıldı. Bulgular: Bebeklerin yaş ortalaması 13,95±9,406 aydı. Bebekler evde toplam 8,25±1,784 saat, klinikte 7,21±1,792 saat uyuyordu. Klinikteki ebeveynlerin %69'u evden uyku objesi getirmiş olup, uyku objesi ile uyku süresi 7,37±1,644 saat iken, obje olmadan uyku süresi 6,85±2,055 saat bulundu. Bebeklerin klinikte uykusunu etkileyen olumsuz faktörlerin %42,5'ini tedavi saatinde hareketlilik-ses ve %14'ünü ziyaretçilerin giriş-çıkış sesleri oluşturdu. Bebeklerin klinikte uyku sorunu yaşadığı ve klinikteki uyku sürelerinin evdeki uyku sürelerine oranla daha az olduğu saptandı (p<0,001). Klinikte uyku objesi ile uyuyan bebeklerin uyku süreleri ile uyku objesi olmadan uyuyan bebeklerin uyku sürelerinde de anlamlı fark vardı (p<0,05). Sonuç: Bu çalışmada, bebeklerin klinikteki uyku sürelerinin daha az olduğu, uyku sorunu yaşadıkları, evden getirilen uyku objesinin bebeklerin uyku sürelerinin artmasına olumlu etki yaptığı bulundu. Bebeğin uykusunu olumsuz etkileyen faktörün en fazla klinikte tedavi saatinde hareketlilik-ses ve ziyaretçilerin giriş-çıkış sesleri olduğu görüldü. Klinikte bebeklerin uyku sorununu azaltmada tedavi ve takip saatlerinin, gece bebeklerin rutin uyku saatleri ile aynı zamanda olmaması önerilir.

ABSTRACT
 Objective: The aim of the study was to determine the home and hospital sleeping habits and affecting factors of sleep problems of 1-36 month-old hospitalized infants. Material and Methods: Two hundred mothers with infants aged 1-36 months in the Children's Hospital participated in the study. ''Brief Infant Sleep Questionnaire'' and the ''Baby and Sleep Information Form'' prepared by the researcher were used. Results: The mean age of the babies was 13.95±9.406 months. Babies slept 8.25±1.784 hours at home and 7.21±1.792 hours in the clinic. 69% of the parents in the clinic brought sleep products from home, and the sleep time with the sleep product was 7.37±1.644 hours, without the product was 6.85±2.055 hours. 42.5% of the negative factors affecting the sleep were sound at the time of treatment and 14% of them were the sounds of visitors. It was determined that the babies had sleep problems in the clinic and the sleep time was less than at home (p<0.001). There was also a significant difference in the sleep duration who slept with sleep product and the sleep times of babies who slept without sleep product (p<0.05). Conclusion: It was found that the babies had less sleep time, sleep problems in the clinic. The sleep product had a positive effect on the increase in the sleep time. It was observed that the factors affecting the baby's sleep negatively were the mobility-sound and visitor's entrance-exit sounds during the treatment hour. In the clinic, it is recommended that the treatment and follow-up hours should not be at the same time as the routine sleep hours of the babies in order to reduce the sleep problem of babies.
