Abstract

AIM: Sleep disorders are remarkable public health problems as they adversely affect physical, mental and social health and may cause accidents and decline in academic performance and labor productivity. Aim of the study is assessing sleep quality and determining some factors affecting sleep quality in the students living in the residence hall of a university. METHOD: It is a cross sectional study conducted with 277 students, 180 of whom are female. Data were collected via a questionnaire including Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) and socio-demographic characteristics query. RESULTS: According to PSQI, 41.1% of students have bad sleep quality. Sleep quality of male students and students who are overweight/obese or living in more crowded rooms in the hall of residence is worse than other students'. Prevalence of bad sleep quality is higher in medication users, participants thinking that they have problems in sleeping or falling asleep and had stressful experience in the last month. The differences between groups were statistically significant. In logistic regression analyzes, using medication (OR=2.54), having problems in sleep (OR=12.75), having problems in falling asleep (OR=8.83) and bad experiences in the last month (OR=2.66) have effects on sleep quality. CONCLUSIONS: Interventions about sleep disorders are important due to their preventable characteristics. Developing healthy life habits, improving physical conditions and coping with stress will be effective on preventing and treating sleep disorders.

Özet

AMAÇ: Uyku bozuklukları beden ve ruh sağlığını, sosyal yaşamı olumsuz etkileyen, akademik başarıda ve iş verimliliğinde düşüşe, kazalarda artışa neden olabilen, sıklığı açısından dikkat çekici bir halk sağlığı sorunudur. Bu çalışmada bir üniversitenin yurtta kalan öğrencilerinde, uyku kalitesi durumunun incelenmesi ve uyku kalitesini etkileyen bazı faktörlerin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. YÖNTEM: Kesitsel tipte epidemiyolojik çalışmaya 180'i kadın 277 öğrenci katılmıştır. Veriler öğrencilerin demografik özelliklerini, Pittsburgh Uyku Kalitesi İndeksi (PUKİ) ve Epworth Uykululuk Ölçeğini (EUÖ) içeren anket formu ile toplanmıştır. BULGULAR: Araştırma sonucunda öğrencilerin %41,1'inin PUKİ'ye göre uyku kalitesinin düşük olduğu görülmüştür. Erkeklerde, kilolu ve obez olanlarda ve 4 kişilik odalarda kalanlarda uyku kalitesi daha kötüdür. Son bir ayda zorlayıcı bir olay yaşayanlarda, ilaç kullananlarda, uyku sorunu ve uykuya dalma sorunu olduğunu düşünenlerde uyku kalitesinin kötü olması sıklığı daha yüksek bulunmuş ve aradaki farkın istatistiksel olarak anlamlı olduğu görülmüştür. Logistik regresyon analizine göre, uyku kalitesine uyku sorunu yaşama (OR=12,75), uykuya dalma problemi yaşama (OR=8,83), ilaç kullanımı (OR=2,54) ve son bir ayda zorlayıcı bir olay yaşama durumu (OR=2,66) etki etmektedir. SONUÇ: Uyku kalite bozukluğunun önlenebilir bir sorun olması, konu ile ilgili müdahalelerin önemini arttırmaktadır. Sağlıklı yaşam alışkanlıklarının geliştirilmesi, uyuma yerinin fiziki koşullarının iyileştirilmesi, stres ile mücadelenin uyku kalitesi ile ilgili sorunların önlenmesinde ve tedavisinde etkili olacağı düşünülmektedir.
