To explore sleep quality and daytime sleepiness problems in medical students at Ramathibodi Hospital.
This was a cross-sectional study. Data were collected using questionnaires. The questionnaires included (1) Demographic and personal data, (2) The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) for sleep quality problem assessment and (3) The Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) for daytime sleepiness assessment.
Of 691 medical students, 165 (23.9%) completed questionnaires. The prevalence of poor sleep quality and daytime sleepiness were 63.6% and 41.8%, respectively. After adjusted for age and relationship concern, academic concern (prevalence ratio 1.46) and nighttime activity without screen (prevalence ratio 1.43) were associated significantly with sleep quality problem. No factor was associated with daytime sleepiness.
Interventions to reduce academic burdens should be promoted to improve sleep problems in medical students. Further studies in larger groups of medical students using both subjective and objective measurements should be done in the future.
探讨拉玛蒂博迪医院医学生的睡眠质量和日间嗜睡问题。
这是一项横断面研究。使用问卷收集数据。问卷包括：（1）人口统计学和个人数据；（2）用于评估睡眠质量问题的匹兹堡睡眠质量指数（PSQI）；（3）用于评估日间嗜睡的爱泼沃斯嗜睡量表（ESS）。
在691名医学生中，165名（23.9%）完成了问卷。睡眠质量差和日间嗜睡的患病率分别为63.6%和41.8%。在调整年龄和关系困扰因素后，学业困扰（患病率比值1.46）和无屏幕夜间活动（患病率比值1.43）与睡眠质量问题显著相关。没有因素与日间嗜睡相关。
应推广减轻学业负担的干预措施，以改善医学生的睡眠问题。未来应使用主观和客观测量方法，对更大样本量的医学生进行进一步研究。
