Highly competitive and demanding environments in educational institutions led to reduced sleep time for both students and faculty globally. The primary objective of this study was to determine the duration and quality of sleep among students and faculty of Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University (IAU). The secondary objective was to explore the relationship between depression and sleep duration and quality among students and faculty.
The study was conducted during 2021 in Dammam, Saudi Arabia. An online survey was disseminated among the university students. The survey form included: demographic data, Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ9), Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Epworth Sleepiness scale (ESS). The responses were analyzed using bivariate and multivariate analysis.
A total of 509 responses satisfying the inclusion criteria were included (323 student and 186 faculty). The average sleep duration for the entire cohort was 6.21 ± 1.32 hours, with 6.5% sleeping less than 5 hours per night. The mean PSQI score was 7.61 ± 3.09, with 73.1% falling in the poor sleep quality category (PSQI score >5). The mean PHQ9 score was 8.86 ± 6.20, with 63.9% falling in the mild depression category. The mean ESS score was 6.59 ± 4.02, with 11% having a score >10 (corresponding to excessive daytime sleepiness).
A significant proportion of surveyed students and faculty IAU suffer from sleep insufficiency, poor sleep quality, and mild degree of depression. Initiatives to tackle the issue of poor sleep quality and quantity among university students and faculty are required.
教育机构中竞争激烈且要求苛刻的环境导致全球学生和教师的睡眠时间减少。本研究的主要目的是确定 Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal 大学（IAU）的学生和教职员工的睡眠时长和质量。次要目的是探讨学生和教职员工的抑郁与睡眠时长和质量之间的关系。
本研究于 2021 年在沙特阿拉伯达曼进行。在线调查在该校学生中进行。调查表格包括：人口统计学数据、患者健康问卷（PHQ9）、匹兹堡睡眠质量指数（PSQI）和 Epworth 嗜睡量表（ESS）。使用双变量和多变量分析对结果进行分析。
共纳入 509 份符合纳入标准的回复（323 名学生和 186 名教师）。整个队列的平均睡眠时间为 6.21 ± 1.32 小时，6.5%的人每晚睡眠时间少于 5 小时。平均 PSQI 得分为 7.61 ± 3.09，73.1%的人睡眠质量较差（PSQI 得分>5）。平均 PHQ9 得分为 8.86 ± 6.20，63.9%的人处于轻度抑郁状态。平均 ESS 得分为 6.59 ± 4.02，11%的人得分>10（对应日间过度嗜睡）。
相当一部分被调查的学生和教职员工都存在睡眠不足、睡眠质量差和轻度抑郁的问题。需要采取措施解决大学生和教职员工睡眠质量和数量不佳的问题。
