Material and Method: The study group consisted of 36 mothers with a child who had bronchiolitis obliterans and 62 mothers with healthy children. All mothers enrolled in the study filled in the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Results: The mean ages of the children of the mothers enrolled in the study were statistically similar (3.57 +/- 2.58 vs 3.85 +/- 1.46 years, p>0.05). Total Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index scores and subjective sleep quality scores in the mothers of children with bronchiolitis obliterans were significantly higher than those in the mothers of healthy children (both p=0.015). Conclusions: In this study, it was found that mothers of children with bronchiolitis obliterans have poor sleep quality. Therefore, assessment may be needed for the requirement of support regarding sleep quality in them.
