Abstract

Background: Sleep is an essential occupation for students. It affects one's neurocognitive functions and psychomotor performance, playing a significant role in academic performance, health, and well-being. This study aims to describe the sleep quality and sleep patterns among undergraduate occupational therapy (OT) students at the University of Santo Tomas (UST) during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study utilized a record review based on existing data from the UST OT Department's Student Life Survey 2021 database. A total of 205 students from different year levels and academic cohorts of the academic year 2021-2022 participated in the survey, which included the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). The data with valid responses (n=204) was analyzed using the measures of central tendency and dispersion, such as mean and standard deviation. Results: Data analysis revealed that 95.59% (n=195) of student respondents had significantly poor sleep quality, while 4.41% (n=9) had good sleep quality. Students in the fifth-year level had the greatest sleep dysfunction as opposed to those in the third-year level who had little sleep dysfunction. Sleep duration and daytime dysfunction received the highest individual scores across all year levels. Conclusion: Having poor sleep quality is a common occurrence among undergraduate OT students in UST during the COVID-19 pandemic. Sleep pattern trends suggest the need for school administrators and educators to create measures to mitigate possible negative effects on their student’s academic performance, health, and overall quality of life, especially during public health emergencies, calamities, and disasters.
2019冠状病毒病大流行期间圣托马斯大学职业治疗专业本科生的睡眠质量:一项描述性横断面研究
背景:睡眠是学生必不可少的职业。它影响一个人的神经认知功能和精神运动表现,在学习成绩、健康和幸福方面发挥着重要作用。本研究旨在描述新冠肺炎大流行期间圣托马斯大学(UST)职业治疗(OT)本科生的睡眠质量和睡眠模式。方法:这项描述性横断面研究利用了基于UST OT部门2021年学生生活调查数据库中现有数据的记录审查。共有205名来自2021-2022学年不同年级和学术群体的学生参与了这项调查,调查内容包括匹兹堡睡眠质量指数(PSQI)。对有效应答数据(n=204)采用集中趋势和离散度(如平均值和标准差)进行分析。结果:数据分析显示,95.59% (n=195)的受访学生睡眠质量明显较差,4.41% (n=9)的受访学生睡眠质量良好。五年级的学生睡眠障碍最严重,而三年级的学生睡眠障碍很少。睡眠时间和白天功能障碍在全年水平上的个人得分最高。结论:新冠肺炎疫情期间,睡眠质量较差是科大本科OT学生普遍存在的问题。睡眠模式的趋势表明,学校管理人员和教育工作者需要制定措施,以减轻对学生学习成绩、健康和整体生活质量可能产生的负面影响,特别是在突发公共卫生事件、灾难和灾难期间。
