Abstract

Objective: To establish the prevalence of sleepiness in Colombian medical students and associated variables.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with the participation of university students aged ≥18 years. Students completed scales for sleepiness, insomnia, depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, sleep hygiene, and cognitive social capital (measured as social support) between September and November 2022. Raw and adjusted odds ratios (ORs) with 95% CIs were calculated.

Results: Three hundred nine students agreed to participate, of whom 169 (54.7%) were women. The prevalence of sleepiness was 53.1%, insomnia 41.1%, depression 61.2%, anxiety 31.1%, poor sleep hygiene 16.2%, and poor cognitive social capital 23.6%. Sleepiness was associated with the interaction of depression risk and poor cognitive social capital (OR = 4.08, 95% CI, 1.57-10.62) and insomnia risk (OR = 4.01, 95% CI, 2.34-6.89).

Conclusions: The prevalence of sleepiness is high among medical students and is associated with depression, anxiety, and insufficient social capital. Expanding knowledge about the variables related to sleepiness among university students is crucial.

哥伦比亚医科学生的嗜睡：患病率和相关变量

目的：了解哥伦比亚医科学生嗜睡的患病率及相关变量。方法：采用横断面研究，纳入年龄≥18岁的大学生。学生们在2022年9月至11月期间完成了嗜睡、失眠、抑郁症状、焦虑症状、睡眠卫生和认知社会资本（以社会支持衡量）的量表。计算95% ci的原始和调整优势比（ORs）。结果：309名学生同意参加，其中169名（54.7%）是女性。嗜睡患病率为53.1%，失眠患病率为41.1%，抑郁患病率为61.2%，焦虑患病率为31.1%，睡眠卫生不良患病率为16.2%，认知社会资本不良患病率为23.6%。困倦与抑郁风险、较差的认知社会资本（OR = 4.08, 95% CI, 1.57-10.62）和失眠风险（OR = 4.01, 95% CI, 2.34-6.89）相互作用相关。结论：医学生嗜睡发生率较高，与抑郁、焦虑和社会资本不足有关。扩大对大学生嗜睡相关变量的了解是至关重要的。中枢神经系统疾病护理伴发2025；27(1):24m03807。本文末尾列出了作者所属单位。
