Musculoskeletal pain (MSKP), psychological distress, and poor sleep quality are common among undergraduate university students. Yet, few studies have assessed the association between MSKP and psychological distress and poor sleep quality. This cross-sectional study was conducted to determine this association among undergraduate students at a major public university in Saudi Arabia. MSKP was assessed using the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire, psychological distress using the Depression, Anxiety and Stress (DASS-21) questionnaire, and sleep quality using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. A total of 339 undergraduate students from various specialties provided complete responses and were included. The most common site of MSKP in the past 12 months and the past 7 days were neck pain (54.6% and 41.9%, respectively) and low back pain (49.4% and 48.2%, respectively). There was no difference in the prevalence of MSKP across colleges. The reported MSKP in the past 12 months and 7 days were significantly associated with the students' level of anxiety and stress as well as sleep quality ( < 0.05 for all), while depression was only significantly associated with MSKP in the past 7 days.
肌肉骨骼疼痛（MSKP）、心理困扰和睡眠质量差在大学生中很常见。然而，很少有研究评估 MSKP 与心理困扰和睡眠质量差之间的关系。本横断面研究旨在确定沙特阿拉伯一所主要公立大学本科生中存在这种关系。使用北欧肌肉骨骼问卷评估 MSKP，使用抑郁、焦虑和压力量表（DASS-21）评估心理困扰，使用匹兹堡睡眠质量指数评估睡眠质量。共有来自不同专业的 339 名本科生提供了完整的回复并被纳入研究。过去 12 个月和过去 7 天中最常见的 MSKP 部位分别为颈部疼痛（54.6%和 41.9%）和下腰痛（49.4%和 48.2%）。不同学院的 MSKP 患病率没有差异。过去 12 个月和过去 7 天报告的 MSKP 与学生的焦虑和压力水平以及睡眠质量显著相关（所有 P 值均<0.05），而抑郁仅与过去 7 天的 MSKP 显著相关。
