Sleep is one of the issues that attracted the attention of researchers during the COVID-19 pandemic. Researchers focused their studies on the prevalence of sleep disorders, sleep quality, and sleep duration. Sleep hygiene is a set of guidelines that play an important role in the sleep quality, the present study sought to evaluate the amount of sleep hygiene and sleep quality in Iranian adolescents and their relationship during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The present study was conducted using a cross-sectional design. The research population consisted of all adolescents living in Kermanshah (western Iran) in 2021. The participants were a sample of 610 adolescents. They completed the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Inventory and Adolescent Sleep Hygiene Scale.
The mean sleep quality score for the participants was 7.14 ± 2.47, indicating the high frequency of sleep problems affecting the participants. There were significant correlations between all components of sleep hygiene and sleep quality. There was also a significant correlation (r = - 0.46 between sleep hygiene and sleep quality (p < 0.001). No significant difference was observed in sleep hygiene and sleep quality between the male and female adolescents. The results showed that sleep hygiene subscales can predict sleep quality (R = 0.53, F = 39.20, p < .01).
The data in this study confirmed the poor observance of sleep hygiene in adolescents during the COVID-19 pandemic and reported frequent sleep problems among the participants. The results also indicated a moderate relationship between sleep hygiene and sleep quality in adolescents. Thus, sleep hygiene components can be related to sleep quality.
睡眠是 COVID-19 大流行期间引起研究人员关注的问题之一。研究人员专注于研究睡眠障碍、睡眠质量和睡眠时间的流行率。睡眠卫生是一组准则,对睡眠质量起着重要作用,本研究旨在评估 COVID-19 大流行期间伊朗青少年的睡眠卫生量和睡眠质量及其关系。
本研究采用横断面设计进行。研究人群包括 2021 年居住在克尔曼沙阿(伊朗西部)的所有青少年。参与者是 610 名青少年的样本。他们完成了匹兹堡睡眠质量指数和青少年睡眠卫生量表。
参与者的平均睡眠质量评分为 7.14±2.47,表明睡眠问题频繁影响参与者。睡眠卫生的所有组成部分与睡眠质量之间均存在显著相关性。睡眠卫生与睡眠质量之间也存在显著相关性(r=-0.46,p<0.001)。男青少年和女青少年在睡眠卫生和睡眠质量方面没有差异。结果表明,睡眠卫生子量表可以预测睡眠质量(R=0.53,F=39.20,p<0.01)。
本研究的数据证实,COVID-19 大流行期间青少年睡眠卫生习惯不佳,并报告参与者经常出现睡眠问题。结果还表明,青少年的睡眠卫生和睡眠质量之间存在中度关系。因此,睡眠卫生成分与睡眠质量有关。
