Abstract

A substantial body of research indicates that higher education students from lower social class backgrounds tend to have poorer health than those from higher social class backgrounds. To investigate sleep as a potential mediator of this relationship, online survey responses of students from five large Australian universities, one Irish university and one large Australian technical college were analysed in three studies (Study 1 N = 628; Study 2 N = 376; Study 3 N = 446). The results revealed that sleep quality, sleep duration, sleep disturbances, pre-sleep worries and sleep schedule variability mediated the relationship between social class and physical and mental health. Sleep remained a significant mediator when controlling for related variables and other mediators. Thus, the findings suggest that sleep partly explains social class differences in health. We discuss the importance of addressing sleep issues among students from lower social class backgrounds.

睡眠在高等教育学生社会阶层与健康关系中的中介作用
大量研究表明,社会阶层背景较低的高等教育学生往往比社会阶层背景较高的学生健康状况较差。为了研究睡眠作为这种关系的潜在中介,我们在三项研究中分析了来自澳大利亚五所大型大学、一所爱尔兰大学和一所澳大利亚大型技术学院的学生的在线调查反应(研究1 N = 628;研究2 N = 376;研究3 N = 446)。结果表明,睡眠质量、睡眠时间、睡眠障碍、睡眠前焦虑和睡眠时间变化在社会阶层与身心健康的关系中起中介作用。在控制相关变量和其他中介因素时,睡眠仍然是一个重要的中介。因此,研究结果表明睡眠在一定程度上解释了社会阶层在健康方面的差异。我们讨论了在社会阶层背景较低的学生中解决睡眠问题的重要性。
