Abstract

Objective: This study was conducted to determine the state of fatigue and sleep quality in medical faculty pre-clinical students. Material-Method: In our cross-sectional study, socio-demographic characteristics questionnaire, Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) to evaluate sleep quality and Piper Fatigue Scale were used to determine the degree of fatigue in the I, II, and III grade students of our university's medical faculty. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and ANOVA test. Results: Period I; 43 students (31.9%), Term II; 52 students (38.5%) and Term III; 40 students (29.6%) were included. The average age of the students participating in the study was 20.31 ± 0.12. Students' course work hours are 1-2 h 87 (64.4%), 4-5 h 42 (31.1%), 5-8 h 3 (2.2%) and 9 h and above 3 (2.2%) ) was detected. While 113 (83.7%) of the participants preferred to sleep in the dark environment, 62 (45.9%) people thought that the drinks consumed before going to bed did not affect their sleep quality. In our study, the mean of the total PSQI scale was 12.6 ± 0.49 and the mean of the PIPER scale was 5 ± 0.15. The PSQI score of Term III students decreased significantly compared to Semester I and Term II students (p = 0.001). No significant difference was found in terms of time to fall asleep and total sleep time between semester I, II and III students. There was a statistically significant difference in PIPER scores between semester I and III and semester II students (p = 0.039). Conclusion: Although pre-clinic students had poor sleep quality, their fatigue levels were found to be moderate. Arrangements should be made to improve poor sleep quality that affects students' quality of life, and fatigue levels that contribute to sleep quality should be reduced.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışma, tıp fakültesi pre-klinik öğrencilerinde yorgunluk ve uyku kalitesinin durumunu tespit etmek amacıyla yapıldı. Materyal-Metod: Kesitsel tipteki araştırmamızda üniversitemizin tıp fakültesi I, II, ve III sınıf öğrencilerine sosyo-demografik özellikler anketi, uyku kalitesini değerlendirmeye yönelik Pittsburg Uyku Kalite İndeksi (PUKİ) ve yorgunluk derecesini belirlemede Piper Yorgunluk Ölçeği kullanıldı. Verilerin tanımlayıcı istatistik ve ANOVA testi ile analizi yapıldı. Bulgular: Dönem I; 43 öğrenci (% 31,9), Dönem II; 52 öğrenci (%38,5) ve Dönem III; 40 öğrenci (%29,6) dahil edildi. Çalışmaya katılan öğrencilerin yaş ortalaması 20,31±0,12’di. Öğrencilerin ders çalışma saatleri 1-2 saat 87 (%64,4), 4-5 saat 42 (%31,1), 5-8 saat 3 (%2,2) ve 9 saat ve üzeri 3(%2,2) olarak saptandı. Katılımcılardan 113 (%83,7) kişi karanlık ortamda uyumayı tercih ederken, 62 (%45,9) kişi yatmadan önce tüketilen içeceklerin uyku kalitesini etkilemediğini düşünüyordu. Çalışmamızda toplam PUKİ ölçeği ortalaması 12,6±0,49 ve PİPER ölçeği ortalaması 5±0,15 olarak bulundu. Dönem III öğrencilerinin PUKİ puanı Dönem I ve Dönem II öğrencilerine göre anlamlı olarak azaldı (p=0,001). Dönem I, II ve III öğrencileri arasında uykuya dalma zamanı ve toplam uyku süresi arasında anlamlı bir fark bulunmadı. Dönem I ve III ile dönem II öğrencileri arasında PİPER puanında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark vardı (p=0,039). Sonuç: Pre-klinik öğrencileri kötü uyku kalitesine sahip olmakla birlikte yorgunluk seviyeleri orta düzeyde bulunmuştur. Öğrencilerin yaşam kalitesini etkileyen kötü uyku kalitesini düzeltmeye yönelik düzenlemeler yapılmalı, uyku kalitesine yüksek oranda katkısı bulunan yorgunluk düzeyleri azaltılmalıdır.
