Abstract

Objective: To assess the quality of sleep and associated factors among medical interns at public universities in North Ethiopia.

Methods: 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.

Results: 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.

Conclusion: 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.

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。

目的：了解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。方法：我们对259名医学实习生进行了一项横断面研究，采用结构化的、访谈者填写的问卷。我们采用匹兹堡睡眠质量指数（PSQI）来确定睡眠质量。结果：72.6%的受试者被筛选为睡眠质量差。焦虑[调整优势比(AOR) = 4.5, 95% CI: 1.93, 11.50；p < 0.001]，睡眠卫生差(AOR = 4.5, 95% CI: 1.4, 11.65；p < 0.001)，当前酒精使用情况(AOR = 3.85, 95% CI: 2.16, 6.89；p < 0.001)和当前烟草使用情况(AOR = 2.4, 95% CI: 2.3, 25；P = 0.001)与睡眠质量差显著相关。结论：实习医师普遍存在睡眠质量差的问题。解决医疗实习生的焦虑、酒精和烟草使用问题以及加强睡眠卫生实践需要得到极大的重视。
