摘要

睡眠对健康、幸福和学习成绩起着至关重要的作用。尽管良好的睡眠对学生的重要性得到了公认，但仍需要更深入地了解大学生面临的睡眠问题，以便为有效的校园支持服务和干预提供信息。本研究旨在通过评估不同性别和年龄组之间关键睡眠参数的差异来评估大学生的睡眠质量。方法：对加纳海岸角大学295名本科生进行了一项横断面研究，使用经过验证的匹兹堡睡眠质量指数来评估睡眠质量。年龄和性别的人口统计学特征也被收集。数据分析使用描述性统计、Pearson’s相关性和交叉表来比较不同性别和年龄组的睡眠质量得分。结果：本研究纳入295名20 ~ 29岁的大学生，男性53.2 %。总体而言，48.5% %的参与者表现出较差的睡眠质量（PSQI bbb50）。全球PSQI评分的分布因年龄组而异，25岁、27岁、28岁和29岁的人睡眠质量差的比例更高。全球PSQI评分和其他组成部分（包括睡眠持续时间和习惯性睡眠效率）的平均得分在25岁的人群中最高。女生比男生更有可能经历睡眠质量差（51.4% % vs. 45.2% %）。关键的睡眠参数，如睡眠潜伏期、睡眠障碍和白天功能障碍，与年龄增长有显著关联，尽管相关性较弱。PSQI总分与年龄（r = 0.378,p = 0.001）和性别（r = 0.212,p = 0.001）均显著相关。结论：这项研究揭示了受访者中普遍存在睡眠质量差的问题，睡眠障碍和持续时间对他们的睡眠质量影响不成比例。这些发现强调了大学需要优先促进健康的睡眠习惯，并在学生群体中解决各种睡眠组成问题。

Poor sleep quality remains a major challenge among tertiary education students in Ghana: A cross-sectional study in a Ghanaian University

Introduction

Sleep plays a crucial role in health, well-being, and academic performance. Despite the recognized importance of good sleep for students, there is a need for a deeper understanding of the sleep problems faced by university students to inform effective campus support services and interventions. This study aimed to evaluate sleep quality among university students by assessing differences in key sleep parameters between sex and age groups.

Methodology

A cross-sectional study was conducted to assess sleep quality using the validated Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index among 295 undergraduate students at the University of Cape Coast, Ghana. Demographic characteristics of age and sex were also collected. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation, and cross-tabulations to compare sleep quality scores between sex and age groups.

Results

The study included 295 undergraduate students aged 20–29 years, of which 53.2 % were male. Overall, 48.5 % of participants exhibited poor sleep quality (PSQI >5). The distribution of global PSQI scores varied by age group, with those aged 25, 27, 28, and 29 reporting higher rates of poor sleep quality. Mean scores on global PSQI scores and other components, including sleep duration and habitual sleep efficiency, were highest among those aged 25 years. Female students were more likely to experience poor sleep quality than male students (51.4 % vs. 45.2 %). Key sleep parameters such as sleep latency, disturbances, and daytime dysfunction showed significant associations with increasing age, although the correlations were weak. Global PSQI scores significantly correlated with both age (r = 0.378, p = 0.001) and sex (r = 0.212, p = 0.001).

Conclusion

This study revealed a high prevalence of poor sleep quality among the respondent, with sleep disturbances and duration disproportionately affecting their sleep quality. These findings underscore the need for universities to prioritize promoting healthy sleep habits and addressing diverse sleep component issues within their student populations.
