The objective of this study was to better understand veterinary medical students' sleep hygiene and identify the extent to which sleep hygiene behaviors may result in consequences (either positive or negative) for students.
A total of 187 doctor of veterinary medicine (DVM) program students at a large College of Veterinary Medicine in the United States.
The Epworth Sleep Scale and Daytime Sleepiness Scale were administered to 393 students enrolled in the DVM program.
About 55.1% of students reported <7 h of sleep per night, 28.9% reported having trouble sleeping, and 50.3% reported feeling sleepy all day. With respect to sleep quality, 5.3% described it as excellent, 52.4% as good, 34.2% as fair, and 8.0% as poor.
A significant percentage of veterinary medical students exhibit poor sleep hygiene habits that may be detrimental to both their health and academic endeavors.
本研究的目的是更好地了解兽医学专业学生的睡眠卫生状况，并确定睡眠卫生行为对学生可能产生的影响（正面或负面）程度。
美国一所大型兽医学院的187名兽医学博士（DVM）项目学生。
对393名注册参加DVM项目的学生进行了爱泼沃斯思睡量表和日间嗜睡量表测试。
约55.1%的学生报告每晚睡眠不足7小时，28.9%的学生报告睡眠有问题，50.3%的学生报告整天感到困倦。关于睡眠质量，5.3%的学生将其描述为极佳，52.4%为良好，34.2%为中等，8.0%为较差。
相当比例的兽医学专业学生表现出不良的睡眠卫生习惯，这可能对他们的健康和学业都有害。
