To assess the quality of sleep and associated factors among medical interns at public universities in North Ethiopia.
We conducted a cross-sectional study among 259 medical interns using a structured, interviewer-administered questionnaire. We employed the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) to determine the quality of sleep.
Of the subjects, 72.6% were screened as having poor sleep quality. Anxiety [adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 4.5, 95% CI: 1.93, 11.50; p < 0.001], poor sleep hygiene (AOR = 4.5, 95% CI: 1.4, 11.65; p < 0.001), current alcohol use (AOR = 3.85, 95% CI: 2.16, 6.89; p < 0.001), and current tobacco use (AOR = 2.4, 95% CI: 2.3, 25; p = 0.001) were significantly associated with poor quality of sleep.
Poor quality of sleep is prevalent among medical interns. Addressing anxiety, and alcohol and tobacco use and enhancing the practice of sleep hygiene among medical interns requires significant attention.
评估埃塞俄比亚北部公立大学医学实习生的睡眠质量及相关因素。
我们使用结构化的、由访谈员执行的问卷对259名医学实习生进行了横断面研究。我们采用匹兹堡睡眠质量指数（PSQI）来确定睡眠质量。
在研究对象中，72.6%被筛查出睡眠质量差。焦虑（调整优势比[AOR]=4.5，95%置信区间：1.93，11.50；p<0.001）、睡眠卫生习惯差（AOR=4.5，95%置信区间：1.4，11.65；p<0.001）、当前饮酒（AOR=3.85，95%置信区间：2.16，6.89；p<0.001）和当前吸烟（AOR=2.4，95%置信区间：2.3，25；p=0.001）与睡眠质量差显著相关。
医学实习生中睡眠质量差的情况普遍存在。应对焦虑、饮酒和吸烟问题，并加强医学实习生的睡眠卫生习惯，这需要得到高度重视。
