This study aims to determine the prevalence and the association of stress with sleep quality among medical students at King Abdulaziz University (KAU), Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
A cross-sectional study was done among 326 medical students of KAU using a stratified random sampling technique. An electronic self-administered questionnaire was used. Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) were used to assess the stress and sleep quality, respectively.
The overall students who experienced stress were 65%. The prevalence of poor sleep quality (total PSQI score ≥5) was 76.4%. There was a strong association between stress and poor sleep quality (value of Cramer's = 0.371, < 0.001), and it showed that the increase in stress level is a significant predictor of poor sleep quality.
A high prevalence of stress and poor sleep quality was found among the students and the study confirms a strong association between them. We recommend establishing courses focusing on educating the students about proper sleep hygiene and how to deal with the stressful environment.
本研究旨在确定沙特阿拉伯吉达阿卜杜勒阿齐兹国王大学(KAU)医学生的压力患病率及其与睡眠质量的关联。
采用分层随机抽样技术,对KAU的326名医学生进行了横断面研究。使用电子自填问卷。分别用凯斯勒心理困扰量表(K10)和匹兹堡睡眠质量指数(PSQI)评估压力和睡眠质量。
经历压力的学生总体比例为65%。睡眠质量差(PSQI总分≥5)的患病率为76.4%。压力与睡眠质量差之间存在强关联(克莱姆系数值=0.371,P<0.001),这表明压力水平的增加是睡眠质量差的一个重要预测因素。
在学生中发现压力和睡眠质量差的患病率很高,该研究证实了两者之间的强关联。我们建议开设课程,重点教育学生关于适当的睡眠卫生以及如何应对压力环境。
