To assess sleep quality among dental students and to identify psychological factors associated with self-reported sleep bruxism (SB).
A total of 212 dentistry students from the Usak University Faculty of Dentistry participated in this study. A self-report questionnaire was administered to identify possible SB. The Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-21) questionnaire was administered to evaluate psychological factors, and the Pittsburgh Sleep Questionnaire Index (PSQI) was used to evaluate sleep quality.
Possible SB was more frequently observed in females than in males. The mean DASS-21 score in those with possible SB was significantly higher than in those without SB (< 0.001). The mean PSQI (total) score was also significantly higher in those with possible SB than in those without SB (5.0 ± 2.4) (= 0.007).
The findings revealed that psychological factors and sleep quality significantly affected the prevalence of self-reported SB among dental students.
评估牙科学生的睡眠质量,并确定与自我报告的磨牙症(SB)相关的心理因素。
共有来自乌沙克大学牙科学院的 212 名牙科学生参与了这项研究。采用自我报告问卷来确定可能的 SB。采用抑郁、焦虑和压力量表(DASS-21)问卷评估心理因素,采用匹兹堡睡眠质量指数(PSQI)评估睡眠质量。
在女性中,可能的 SB 比在男性中更为常见。在有 SB 的人中,DASS-21 的平均得分显著高于没有 SB 的人(<0.001)。在有 SB 的人中,PSQI(总分)的平均得分也显著高于没有 SB 的人(5.0±2.4)(=0.007)。
研究结果表明,心理因素和睡眠质量显著影响了牙科学生自我报告的 SB 的患病率。
