OBJECTIVES: This objective of the study was to report the prevalence of internet addiction, sleep quality, depression, anxiety, and stress in undergraduate medical students. METHODS: A cross-sectional, questionnaire-based study was conducted among 221 undergraduate medical students at Government Doon Medical College, Dehradun, Uttarakhand. Data pertaining to internet addiction, sleep quality, and depressive symptoms were also collected using validated and reliable questionnaires (Young Internet Addiction Test, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and Depression Anxiety Stress Scale 21). RESULTS: The prevalence of poor sleep quality, severe anxiety, and severe depression was 33.9%, 7.3% and 3.6%, respectively. The place of residence was significantly associated ( = 0.006) with internet addiction. The mean Young Internet Addiction Test score was higher in students residing in hostels compared with students staying with families. Stress was associated with age. The mean stress score was higher in the age group 17-20 compared with the 21-24 age group. Stress and depression were independent predictors of sleep quality. CONCLUSION: Quality sleep is the key for good health. Based on limited samples, this study showed that poor sleep quality was associated with stress and depression. Hence, continuous counselling is suggested for supporting students managing their stress and depression.
目的:本研究的目的是报告本科医学生中网络成瘾、睡眠质量、抑郁、焦虑和压力的患病率。 方法:在北阿坎德邦德拉敦市政府杜恩医学院对221名本科医学生进行了一项基于问卷的横断面研究。还使用经过验证且可靠的问卷(青少年网络成瘾测试、匹兹堡睡眠质量指数和抑郁焦虑压力量表21)收集了有关网络成瘾、睡眠质量和抑郁症状的数据。 结果:睡眠质量差、重度焦虑和重度抑郁的患病率分别为33.9%、7.3%和3.6%。居住地与网络成瘾显著相关(P = 0.006)。与与家人同住的学生相比,住在宿舍的学生青少年网络成瘾测试平均得分更高。压力与年龄有关。17 - 20岁年龄组的平均压力得分高于21 - 24岁年龄组。压力和抑郁是睡眠质量的独立预测因素。 结论:优质睡眠是健康的关键。基于有限的样本,本研究表明睡眠质量差与压力和抑郁有关。因此,建议持续提供咨询服务以帮助学生应对压力和抑郁。
