Objectives: Examining the relation between sleep quality, quality of life, depression and anxiety levels with some endocrinological parameters in pregnancy.Methods: The oral glucose loading test and thyroid function test results of the pregnant women who were in the 24-29th weeks of pregnancy were used in the study. Non-pregnant women, who were matched with the study group in terms of sociodemographic data, were also included in the study as the healthy control group. All participant completed a standardized sociodemographic data collection form and the following scales; Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), Pittsburg Sleep Quality Scale (PDCA), Quality of Life Scale (SF-36).Results: No significant differences were detected between the sociodemographic data of the participants except for the educational status and living area. As a result, statistically significant differences were detected between the “sleep latency” (p=0.016), “usual sleep activity” (p=0.004), “sleep disorder” (p=0.000) subcomponents compared to the control group. For SF-36, on the other hand, the results of the pregnant group in “physical function” (p=0.000), “physical role limitation” (p=0.002) and “pain” (p=0.000) sub-dimensions were worse than the control group. The Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) value was positively correlated with “sleep time” (r=0.233); the “fasting blood glucose” was positively correlated with “pain” sub-dimensions (r=0.497); and the “physical function” sub-dimension was negatively correlated (r=-0.192).Conclusion: Our data suggest that the depression and anxiety scores of the pregnant women were high, and life and sleep quality was impaired in certain sub-dimensions.
