Abstract

Objectives: We aim to investigate factors which might affect the sleep of medical students, and how they currently manage their sleep.

Methods: An online survey was sent to medical students at the University of Otago.

Results: After adjusting for gender, ethnicity and age, depressive symptoms (Mild: odds ratio (OR) = 6.3; Moderate: OR = 18.1; Severe: OR = 15.6), and sleep hygiene (OR = 1.07) were associated with insomnia symptoms. Commonly endorsed strategies for sleep management by students were undertaking regular exercise (80.1%), having consistent sleep-wake time (71.3%), and limiting caffeine intake (70.3%). Few were willing to see a clinician (23.4%) or take medication (22.3%). Participants with insomnia symptoms were more likely to prefer limiting their alcohol intake (OR = 1.8), limiting daytime naps (OR = 1.5), seeing clinicians (OR = 1.9), and taking sleep medication (OR = 4.0), but less likely to prefer avoiding intense work (OR = .71) or minimizing using electronics (OR = .60) close to bedtime than those without insomnia symptoms. High sleep self-efficacy was associated with lower odds for having insomnia symptoms (OR = .74 (.70, .77)).

Conclusions: Increased awareness and greater resources are needed to support the sleep health of medical students.

奥塔哥大学医学生的睡眠管理策略

目的:探讨影响医学生睡眠的因素，以及医学生目前如何管理自己的睡眠。方法:对奥塔哥大学医学生进行在线调查。结果:调整性别、种族和年龄后，抑郁症状(轻度:优势比(OR) = 6.3;中等:OR = 18.1;重度:OR = 15.6)和睡眠卫生(OR = 1.07)与失眠症状相关。学生们普遍认可的睡眠管理策略是定期锻炼(80.1%)、保持一致的睡眠-觉醒时间(71.3%)和限制咖啡因摄入(70.3%)。很少有人愿意去看临床医生(23.4%)或服药(22.3%)。与没有失眠症状的参与者相比，有失眠症状的参与者更倾向于限制酒精摄入量(OR = 1.8)、限制白天小睡(OR = 1.5)、看医生(OR = 1.9)和服用睡眠药物(OR = 4.0)，但不太可能倾向于避免高强度工作(OR = 0.71)或尽量减少睡前使用电子产品(OR = 0.60)。高睡眠自我效能与较低的失眠症发生率相关(OR = 0.74)。70 .77点))。结论:需要提高对医学生睡眠健康的认识，加大资源投入。

期刊介绍： Behavioral Sleep Medicine addresses behavioral dimensions of normal and abnormal sleep mechanisms and the prevention, assessment, and treatment of sleep disorders and associated behavioral and emotional problems. Standards for interventions acceptable to this journal are guided by established principles of behavior change. Intending to serve as the intellectual home for the application of behavioral/cognitive science to the study of normal and disordered sleep, the journal paints a broad stroke across the behavioral sleep medicine landscape. Its content includes scholarly investigation of such areas as normal sleep experience, insomnia, the relation of daytime functioning to sleep, parasomnias, circadian rhythm disorders, treatment adherence, pediatrics, and geriatrics. Multidisciplinary approaches are particularly welcome. The journal’ domain encompasses human basic, applied, and clinical outcome research. Behavioral Sleep Medicine also embraces methodological diversity, spanning innovative case studies, quasi-experimentation, randomized trials, epidemiology, and critical reviews.
