Abstract

This study was conducted to examine the effect of dormitory life on perceived stress and insomnia severity among university students living in dormitories. The study was a cross-sectional descriptive-relationship-seeking type. The research population consists of 504 students living in state dormitories who accessed the survey via the Internet and volunteered to participate. Research data were collected using the Introductory Information Form, Perceived Stress Scale, and Insomnia Severity Index. The average age of the students is 21.21±1.83 (18-35). The Perceived Stress Scale total score average was 15.99±5.57, Insomnia Severity Index mean score was 13.17±5.74. There was a very weak negative significant relationship found between the students' sleep duration and the perceived stress sub-dimension (p=0.001, r-0.167) and total stress (p=0.003, r=-0.134) mean scores, a weak negative significant relationship between the average score of the insomnia severity index and the insomnia severity index (p=0,001, r=-0,254). There was a negative, very weakly significant relationship between students' sleep quality and perceived stress sub-dimension (p=0.001, r=-0.245), perceived coping sub-dimension (p=0.001, r=-0.272), total stress (p=0.001, r= -0.293) and insomnia severity index (p=0.001, r=-0.460) score averages were found to have a negative, weakly significant relationship. There was a weak positive relationship between insomnia severity index and perceived stress (p=0.0001, r=0.470), a very weak significant relationship was found between perceived coping (p=0.002, r=0.135) and a moderately significant relationship between total stress (p=0.0001, r=0.523). Environmental factors in the students' dormitory environment affected the average scores of perceived stress, total stress and insomnia severity index. It was determined that there was a moderate positive relationship between the insomnia severity index and the total perceived stress score.

Özet

Bu çalışma yurtta kalan üniversite öğrencileri arasında yurt hayatının algılanan stres ve uykusuzluk şiddeti üzerine etkisini incelemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Çalışma, kesitsel tipte tanımlayıcı-ilişki arayıcı tiptedir. Araştırmanın evrenini, internet ortamından gönderilen ankete erişim sağlayan, çalışmaya katılmaya gönüllü, devlet yurdunda kalan 504 öğrenci oluşturmaktadır. Araştırma verileri Tanıtıcı Bilgi Formu, Algılanan Stres Ölçeği ve Uykusuzluk Şiddet İndeksi ile toplanmıştır. Öğrencilerin yaş ortalamasının 21,21±1,83 (18-35)’dır. Algılanan Stres Ölçeği ölçek toplam puan ortalaması 15,99±5,57, Uykusuzluk Şiddet İndeksi puan ortalaması 13,17±5,74 olarak bulunmuştur. Öğrencilerin uyku süresi ile algılanan stres alt boyutu (p=0,001, r -0,167) ve toplam stres (p=0,003, r=-0,134) puan ortalamaları arasında ters yönlü çok zayıf anlamlı ilişki ve uykusuzluk şiddeti indeksi puan ortalaması (p=0,001, r=-0,254) arasında ise negatif yönlü zayıf anlamlı ilişki tespit edilmiştir. Öğrencilerin uyku kalitesi ile algılanan stres alt boyutu (p=0,001, r=-0,245) arasında negatif çok zayıf anlamlı ilişki; algılanan baş etme alt boyutu (p=0,001, r= -0,272), toplam stres (p=0,001, r=-0,293) ve uykusuzluk şiddeti indeksi (p=0,001, r= -0,460) puan ortalamaları arasında negatif zayıf anlamlı ilişki olduğu belirlenmiştir. Uykusuzluk şiddet indeksi ile algılanan stres (p=0,0001, r=0,470) arasında pozitif yönlü zayıf; algılanan baş etme (p=0,002, r=0,135) arasında çok zayıf ve toplam stres (p=0,0001, r=0,523) arasında orta şiddette anlamlı ilişki tespit edilmiştir. Öğrencilerin yurt ortamındaki çevresel faktörlerin algılanan stres, toplam stres ve uykusuzluk şiddeti indeksi puan ortalamasını etkilemektedir. Uykusuzluk şiddet indeksi ile algılanan toplam stres puanı arasında pozitif yönde orta düzeyde bir ilişki olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
