ÜNİVERSİTE ÖĞRENCİLERİNDE FİZİKSEL AKTİVİTE UYKU KALİTESİ VE DEPRESYON İLİŞKİSİ

THE CORRELATION AMONG PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, QUALITY OF SLEEP AND DEPRESSION AMONG THE UNIVERSITY STUDENTS

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı üniversite öğrencilerinde fiziksel aktivite, uyku kalitesi ve depresyon ilişkisini incelemektir. Araştırmaya Afyon Kocatepe Üniversitesinde öğrenim gören 300 (176 kadın, 124 erkek) öğrenci katılmıştır. Araştırmaya katılan bireylere Uluslararası Fiziksel Aktivite Değerlendirme Anketi [(FADA); kısa formu], Beck Depresyon Envanteri (BDE) ile birlikte Pittsburgh Uyku Kalitesi İndeksi (PUKİ) yanı sıra demografik değişkenleri içeren kişisel bilgi formları uygulanmıştır. Toplam uyku kalitesi ile fiziksel aktivite arasında (t=-0,237; p 0,05). Sonuç olarak; Üniversite öğrencilerinin fiziksel aktivite düzeylerinin orta düzey aktif olduğu, uyku kalitesi ortalamalarının kötü olduğu ancak buna rağmen depresyon durumlarının olmadığı tespit edilmiştir.

Abstract

The study aimed at examining the correlation among physical activity, quality of sleep and depression among the university students. 300 students (176 female students, 124 male students) who studied at the Afyon Kocatepe University were included in the study. To the participant students; a personal information form for demographic variables, International Physical Activity Questionnaire-short form (IPAQshort), Beck's Depression Inventory (BDI) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) were administered. It was found out that there was a negative correlation between total sleep quality and physical activity (t=-0.237; p< 0.001); a positive correlation between total sleep quality and depression (t= 0.412; p< 0.001); a negative correlation between physical activity and depression (t=-0.358; p< 0.001). Besides; doing sports actively, gender and education types (regular education and evening education) yielded statistically significant differences in IPAQ-short, BDI and PSQI mean scores (p< 0.01). In addition; it was noted that there was a statistically significant difference between total sleep quality and mean depression scores in terms of smoking (p< 0.05). Besides; there was also a statistically significant difference between total sleep quality in terms of alcohol drinking (p< 0.05) while there was no difference between mean physical activity scores and depression scores (p> 0.05). As a conclusion; it was seen that physical activity levels of the university students were moderately active, their quality of sleep was poor and they did not have depression.
