Abstract
Previous studies had identified the significant issue of burnout and sleep quality in medical students. However, no studies have explored the interactions between learning burnout and sleep quality on a symptom level. This study used network analysis to explore the interaction and construct the network structure of learning burnout and sleep quality among medical students in China. We recruited 553 medical students to participate in our study. Learning Burnout of Undergraduates and Scale (LBUS) and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) were used to measure learning burnout and sleep quality. Expected influence and bridge expected influence were used to identify the central and bridge symptoms. Results showed 'B9' (Tired of learning) and 'B17' (I want to learn but feel bored with it) had the highest expected influence. 'B12' (I often fall asleep while studying) and 'P_DD' (Daytime dysfunction) had the highest bridge expected influence. Our findings revealed the characteristics of learning burnout and sleep quality in online learning and provided information to further understand the difference in the influence of mental health between online and offline learning.
期刊介绍:
Psychology, Health & Medicine is a multidisciplinary journal highlighting human factors in health. The journal provides a peer reviewed forum to report on issues of psychology and health in practice. This key publication reaches an international audience, highlighting the variation and similarities within different settings and exploring multiple health and illness issues from theoretical, practical and management perspectives. It provides a critical forum to examine the wide range of applied health and illness issues and how they incorporate psychological knowledge, understanding, theory and intervention. The journal reflects the growing recognition of psychosocial issues as they affect health planning, medical care, disease reaction, intervention, quality of life, adjustment adaptation and management.
For many years theoretical research was very distant from applied understanding. The emerging movement in health psychology, changes in medical care provision and training, and consumer awareness of health issues all contribute to a growing need for applied research. This journal focuses on practical applications of theory, research and experience and provides a bridge between academic knowledge, illness experience, wellbeing and health care practice.
