Abstract

ABSTRACT To examine sleep quality and its association with internet usage in undergraduate medical students. This cross-sectional observational study was conducted among 181 undergraduate medical students from January 2019 to March 2019. A predesigned, pretested, semistructured self-administered questionnaire including information on sociodemographic profiles and lifestyle questions was utilized. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) scale and the Internet Addiction Test (IAT) scale were applied. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 23.0. Students with moderate to severe internet addiction showed a total mean score of 6.76 ± 2.45, while those with mild internet addiction had a total mean PSQI score of 6.58 ± 2.57. An increasing severity of internet addiction was associated with poor quality of sleep (22.45%) (P < 0.01). Scores of IAT were assessed in relation to sleep quality, showing that with an increased average total score of internet addiction (39.93 ± 10.36), there was an increasing occurrence of poor sleep quality (P < 0.05). Excessive internet use was linked to poor sleep quality (11.04 ± 1.99) and was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Internet usage among young adults has become an alarming public health concern. Practicing caution in its use can help mitigate its negative impacts on both physical and psychological health. Healthy living requires maintaining a balance through participation in sports, education, culture, and other engaging activities.

医学生的睡眠质量及其与互联网使用的关系--一项横断面研究
摘要 研究医科本科生的睡眠质量及其与互联网使用的关系。 这项横断面观察性研究于2019年1月至2019年3月在181名医学本科生中进行。研究采用了一份预先设计、预先测试的半结构式自填问卷,其中包括社会人口学概况和生活方式问题等信息。采用了匹兹堡睡眠质量指数(PSQI)量表和网络成瘾测试(IAT)量表。统计分析采用 SPSS 23.0 版进行。 中重度网瘾学生的 PSQI 总平均分为 6.76 ± 2.45,而轻度网瘾学生的 PSQI 总平均分为 6.58 ± 2.57。网瘾程度越严重,睡眠质量越差(22.45%)(P < 0.01)。IAT 分数与睡眠质量的关系评估显示,随着网络成瘾平均总分(39.93 ± 10.36)的增加,睡眠质量差的发生率也在增加(P < 0.05)。过度使用互联网与睡眠质量差(11.04 ± 1.99)有关,且有统计学意义(P < 0.05)。 年轻人使用互联网已成为一个令人担忧的公共健康问题。谨慎使用互联网有助于减轻其对身心健康的负面影响。健康的生活需要通过参与体育、教育、文化和其他参与性活动来保持平衡。
