Poor sleep quality among higher education students is a world public health problem that can lead to a decrease of the concentration and consequently the academic performance. This study aimed to determine sleep quality among higher education students and to verify its association with internet addiction and psychological disorders (anxiety and depression).
The sample comprised 148 higher education students of the south of Portugal, being 108 (73%) female, aged between 18 and 54 years old. The measuring instrument included a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, the Internet Addiction Test, and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale.
Fifty-five (37.2%) students had a good sleep quality, 77 (52%) poor sleep quality, and 16 (10.8%) a severe sleep disorder. Forty-one (27.7%) students said that they went to bed between 12:00 am and 12.30 am and 37 (25%) between 11 pm and 11.30 pm. The sleep duration was 7:08±1:31. Fifty (48.1%) students who classified with poor sleep quality classified themselves as good sleepers (p≤0.001). Internet addiction was not associated with poor sleep quality. Students who present anxiety and/or depression symptoms had 0.31 (CI: 0.135-0.71; p=0.005) more probabilities to have sleep disorders compared to those who did not show these symptoms.
This study found that most of the analyzed students present a poor quality of sleep and this was associated with a presence of anxiety and/or depression. It becomes necessary to develop sleep hygiene education programs for prevention and treatment of sleep disturbances in this population.
高等教育学生睡眠质量差是一个全球性的公共卫生问题，可能导致注意力下降，进而影响学业成绩。本研究旨在确定高等教育学生的睡眠质量，并验证其与网络成瘾及心理障碍（焦虑和抑郁）之间的关联。
样本包括148名葡萄牙南部的高等教育学生，其中108名（73%）为女性，年龄在18至54岁之间。测量工具包括社会人口学问卷、匹兹堡睡眠质量指数、网络成瘾测试和医院焦虑抑郁量表。
55名（37.2%）学生睡眠质量良好，77名（52%）睡眠质量差，16名（10.8%）存在严重睡眠障碍。41名（27.7%）学生表示他们在午夜12:00至12:30之间上床睡觉，37名（25%）在晚上11点至11:30之间上床睡觉。睡眠时间为7:08±1:31。50名（48.1%）睡眠质量差的学生自认为睡眠良好（p≤0.001）。网络成瘾与睡眠质量差无关。与未出现焦虑和/或抑郁症状的学生相比，出现焦虑和/或抑郁症状的学生出现睡眠障碍的可能性高0.31（置信区间：0.135 - 0.71；p = 0.005）。
本研究发现，大多数被分析的学生睡眠质量差，这与焦虑和/或抑郁的存在有关。有必要制定睡眠卫生教育计划，以预防和治疗该人群的睡眠障碍。
