Abstract

Objectives: We aim to investigate factors which might affect the sleep of medical students, and how they currently manage their sleep.

Methods: An online survey was sent to medical students at the University of Otago.

Results: After adjusting for gender, ethnicity and age, depressive symptoms (Mild: odds ratio (OR) = 6.3; Moderate: OR = 18.1; Severe: OR = 15.6), and sleep hygiene (OR = 1.07) were associated with insomnia symptoms. Commonly endorsed strategies for sleep management by students were undertaking regular exercise (80.1%), having consistent sleep-wake time (71.3%), and limiting caffeine intake (70.3%). Few were willing to see a clinician (23.4%) or take medication (22.3%). Participants with insomnia symptoms were more likely to prefer limiting their alcohol intake (OR = 1.8), limiting daytime naps (OR = 1.5), seeing clinicians (OR = 1.9), and taking sleep medication (OR = 4.0), but less likely to prefer avoiding intense work (OR = .71) or minimizing using electronics (OR = .60) close to bedtime than those without insomnia symptoms. High sleep self-efficacy was associated with lower odds for having insomnia symptoms (OR = .74 (.70, .77)).

Conclusions: Increased awareness and greater resources are needed to support the sleep health of medical students.

奥塔哥大学医学生的睡眠管理策略

目的:探讨影响医学生睡眠的因素，以及医学生目前如何管理自己的睡眠。方法:对奥塔哥大学医学生进行在线调查。结果:调整性别、种族和年龄后，抑郁症状(轻度:优势比(OR) = 6.3;中等:OR = 18.1;重度:OR = 15.6)和睡眠卫生(OR = 1.07)与失眠症状相关。学生们普遍认可的睡眠管理策略是定期锻炼(80.1%)、保持一致的睡眠-觉醒时间(71.3%)和限制咖啡因摄入(70.3%)。很少有人愿意去看临床医生(23.4%)或服药(22.3%)。与没有失眠症状的参与者相比，有失眠症状的参与者更倾向于限制酒精摄入量(OR = 1.8)、限制白天小睡(OR = 1.5)、看医生(OR = 1.9)和服用睡眠药物(OR = 4.0)，但不太可能倾向于避免高强度工作(OR = 0.71)或尽量减少睡前使用电子产品(OR = 0.60)。高睡眠自我效能与较低的失眠症发生率相关(OR = 0.74)。70 .77点))。结论:需要提高对医学生睡眠健康的认识，加大资源投入。
