The study aimed to confirm the hysteresis effect of internet addiction on sleep quality and examine the association between internet addiction and sleep quality among medical students from the first to the third academic year.
A repeated measures observational cohort study was conducted, involving 667 medical students at China Medical University from 2017 to 2019. The Kruskal-Wallis test was used to analyze repeated measurement data, and cross-lagged panel models were employed to assess the associations between internet addiction and sleep quality within and across different time intervals.
Internet addiction was significantly associated with sleep quality ( < 0.001). Notably, internet addiction in the first year was positively associated with sleep quality in the second year.
This study underscores the importance of understanding the association between internet addiction and sleep quality as medical students progress through their academic years. Attention should be directed towards the long-term adverse effects of internet addiction on the future sleep quality of medical students.
本研究旨在证实网络成瘾对睡眠质量的滞后效应,并探讨大一至大三医学生网络成瘾与睡眠质量之间的关联。
进行了一项重复测量观察性队列研究,纳入了2017年至2019年中国医科大学的667名医学生。采用Kruskal-Wallis检验分析重复测量数据,并使用交叉滞后面板模型评估不同时间间隔内及不同时间间隔之间网络成瘾与睡眠质量的关联。
网络成瘾与睡眠质量显著相关(<0.001)。值得注意的是,第一年的网络成瘾与第二年的睡眠质量呈正相关。
本研究强调了随着医学生学业的推进,了解网络成瘾与睡眠质量之间关联的重要性。应关注网络成瘾对医学生未来睡眠质量的长期不良影响。
