Abstract

Introduction: Poor sleep quality is a global public health issue particularly more prevalent in medical professionals and students. Despite various health and occupational risks, research is still lacking regarding the quality of sleep and its related factors among medical professionals and students in our region. Therefore, our study aimed to estimate the prevalence of poor sleep quality in this population.

Methods: This observational cross-sectional study was conducted among medical professionals and students of Devdaha Medical College from December 2023 to June 2024 after ethical approval from the Institutional Review Board. Data regarding sleep quality and excessive daytime sleepiness were collected using the Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PQSI) and Epworth Sleepiness Scale with premade questionnaires in Google Forms.

Results: Among 395 participants, 260 (65.83%) were in the age group 20-25 years and 200 (50.63%) were nursing students. The prevalence of poor sleep quality was 146 (36.96%; 95% CI: 32.19%-42.93%) and the global mean score of PSQI was calculated to be 5.12. Out of the total participants, 255 (64.55%) had excessive daytime sleepiness, 84 (21.26%) participants had one or more sleep problems out of which, snoring was in 40 (10.12%) participants.

Conclusions: About one-third of the study population poor sleep quality and day time sleepiness was reported in more than half of the respondents.

医学院校医务人员和学生睡眠质量和日间嗜睡的评估：一项描述性横断面研究。

睡眠质量差是一个全球性的公共卫生问题，尤其在医疗专业人员和学生中更为普遍。尽管存在各种健康和职业风险，但本地区医疗专业人员和学生的睡眠质量及其相关因素的研究仍然缺乏。因此，我们的研究旨在估计这一人群中睡眠质量差的普遍程度。方法：经机构审查委员会伦理批准，本观察性横断面研究于2023年12月至2024年6月在Devdaha医学院的医学专业人员和学生中进行。采用匹兹堡睡眠质量指数（PQSI）和Epworth嗜睡量表，采用谷歌表格进行问卷调查，收集睡眠质量和日间过度嗜睡数据。结果：395名调查对象中，20 ~ 25岁260人（65.83%），护生200人（50.63%）。睡眠质量差的患病率为146例(36.96%；95% CI: 32.19% ~ 42.93%)， PSQI全球平均评分为5.12。在所有参与者中，255人（64.55%）白天过度嗜睡，84人（21.26%）有一种或多种睡眠问题，其中40人（10.12%）打鼾。结论：约三分之一的研究对象睡眠质量差，一半以上的受访者白天嗜睡。
