Investigation of Cognitive Flexibility, Fatigue, and Depression According to Sleep Quality in Older Adults

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate cognitive flexibility, fatigue, and depression according to sleep quality in older adults. Materials and Methods: The research included 144 older adults.
