Previous studies have investigated the associations between academic stress and adolescents' psycho-social development. However, the direct and indirect affecting mechanism of academic stress on sleep quality among Chinese adolescents have rarely been investigated. Using a self-report questionnaire data of 1232 adolescents in Jiangsu province, the purpose of the study is to investigate the relationships among academic stress, anxiety, school burnout, and sleep quality. Structural equation modeling (SEM) with Amos 25.0 was used to test the model fit in the present study. The results revealed that academic stress tends to have significantly direct effects on adolescents' sleep quality. Moreover, anxiety and school burnout could mediate the associations between academic stress and sleep quality absolutely and sequentially. This study reveals the mechanism of the effect of academic stress on adolescents' sleep quality and also develops the chain mediating model of anxiety and school burnout. In addition, the present study may shed light on social policy and social work intervention toward adolescents' sleep quality.
先前的研究已经调查了学术压力与青少年心理社会发展之间的关系。然而，学术压力对中国青少年睡眠质量的直接和间接影响机制却很少被研究。本研究使用江苏省 1232 名青少年的自我报告问卷数据，旨在探讨学术压力、焦虑、学业倦怠与睡眠质量之间的关系。采用 Amos25.0 进行结构方程模型（SEM）检验，以测试模型在本研究中的拟合度。结果表明，学术压力与青少年的睡眠质量有显著的直接关系。此外，焦虑和学业倦怠可以完全和依次中介学术压力与睡眠质量之间的关系。本研究揭示了学术压力对青少年睡眠质量的影响机制，并提出了焦虑和学业倦怠的链式中介模型。此外，本研究可能为青少年睡眠质量的社会政策和社会工作干预提供启示。
