Abstract

Daytime Sleepiness and poor sleep quality are common among medical students. The objective of study is to determine the prevalence of daytime sleepiness and sleep quality and associated risk factors among medical students in medical college, in Bristol, United Kingdom. It was a cross-sectional study and 153 medical students were selected through stratified random sampling techniques. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index was used to assess the sleep pattern and Epworth Sleepiness Scale was used to measure daytime sleepiness. Association of sleep quality and daytime sleepiness and its risk factors were determined through regression analysis. Students suffering from severe disorder of sleep quality was 21.6% and severe daytime sleepiness 3.9%. In multivariate analysis after adjustment of covariates, in daytime sleepiness, male gender (OR.1.33, CI 1.06-3.04) [p-value 0.040] and those students who smoke cigarettes [OR 4.65, (CI 1.48-5.14) [p-value 0.018] were more likely associated with severe daytime sleepiness disorder. In Sleep quality disorder, those students who had low academic score [OR 3.13(CI 1.28-4.87) [p-value 0.035] and those students who smoke cigarettes [OR 3.04 (CI 2.34-4.29) [p-value 0.010] were more than likely associated with severe sleep quality disorder. Majority of students suffered from poor sleep quality and day time sleepiness. Male gender, smoking, academic score and academic years was the major predictor for poor sleep quality and day time sleepiness. There is need for awareness and counselling among student for reduced the sleep disorder burden.
英国布里斯托大学健康专业学生的睡眠障碍
白天嗜睡和睡眠质量差在医学生中很常见。这项研究的目的是确定英国布里斯托尔医学院医学生日间嗜睡和睡眠质量的患病率以及相关的风险因素。这是一项横断面研究,通过分层随机抽样技术选择了153名医学生。匹兹堡睡眠质量指数用于评估睡眠模式,Epworth嗜睡量表用于测量白天嗜睡程度。通过回归分析确定睡眠质量与日间嗜睡的关系及其危险因素。患有严重睡眠质量障碍的学生为21.6%,严重日间嗜睡为3.9%。在校正协变量后的多变量分析中,在日间嗜睡中,男性(OR.1.33,CI 1.06-3.04)[p值0.040]和吸烟的学生[OR 4.65,(CI 1.48-5.14)[pp值0.018]更有可能与严重日间嗜睡障碍相关。在睡眠质量障碍中,那些学习成绩较低的学生[OR 3.13(CI 1.28-4.87)[p值0.035]和那些吸烟的学生[OOR 3.04(CI 2.34-4.29)[p值0.010]更有可能与严重的睡眠质量障碍有关。大多数学生睡眠质量差,白天嗜睡。男性、吸烟、学业成绩和学年是睡眠质量差和白天嗜睡的主要预测因素。有必要在学生中提高认识并提供咨询,以减轻睡眠障碍的负担。
