Evaluation of The Factors Which Affect the Sleep Habit and Quality of Health College Students

Abstract

Introduction: This descriptive study has been made in order to evaluate the factors which affect the sleep habit and quality of Balıkesir University Health College students. Method: The study was carried out between 23 March and 15 April 2017. Students who receive education in nursing and midwifery departments of Balikesir University Health College have taken part in the research. Nursing students took the survey, formed by researchers by reviewing the literature, in classroom environment. Descriptive analysis was made and continuous data were compared with student-t and ANOVA tests. Results: The average age of the students in this study is 21.4 ± 1.8 and 84.1% of students are female and 65.7% of students are nursing students. 37.6% of students taken part in this study stated that their academic achievement is good, 69.7% of students said their incomes and expenses are equal and 65.9% of students expressed that they stay in dorm. It is determined that 62.7 of students have poor sleep quality according to the students ' PUKI points average. It has been found out that 51.4% of the students wake up at the least once at night, 18.7% lived sleep problem in the past and 51% sleep 6-7 hours at night. Students who are in the first class degree, who state their academic achievement is bad, students who have gastrointestinal discomfort in the last month who and have acute infection and psychological problem have meaningfully higher PUKİ points averages than students who are not at the first grade, who state their academic achievement is very good, students who didn't have gastrointestinal discomfort in the last month and students who didn't live acute infection and psychological problem (p < 0.05) Also students who smoke/use alcohol, drink more than five cups of coffee/tea per day, wake up at the least once time at night, had sleep problem in the past, are always late for lessons and eat something before sleep have meaningfully higher PUKİ points averages statistically than students who don't smoke/use alcohol, don't drink more than five cups of coffee/tea per day, don't wake up at night, didn't live sleep problem in the past, are not late for the lessons and don't eat something before sleep(p < 0.05). Conclusion: It is determined that students have significant sleep problems; class, academic achievement, physical and psychological discomfort, using cigarette/alcohol, tea consumption, having sleep problems at night, waking up without rest and snacking before bed are related to sleep quality. It is advised to inform nursing and midwifery students, who are taking health discipline education, about importance of sleep and factors related to sleep quality.

Giriş: Bu tanımlayıcı çalışmanın amacı, Balıkesir Üniversitesi Sağlık Yüksekokulu öğrencilerinin uyku alışkanlıklarını ve kalitesini etkileyen faktörleri değerlendirmektir. Yöntem:  Çalışma 23 Mart-15 Nisan 2017 tarihleri arasında yürütülmüştür. Araştırmaya Balıkesir Üniversitesi Sağlık Yüksekokulunda öğrenim gören hemşirelik ve ebelik öğrencileri alınmıştır. Araştırmacılar tarafından literatür taranarak oluşturulan anket formu hemşirelik öğrencilerine sınıf ortamında uygulanmıştır. Tanımlayıcı analiz yapılıp sürekli veriler student-t ve ANOVA testleri ile karşılaştırılmıştır. Bulgular: Bu çalışmada öğrencilerin yaş ortalaması 21,4 ± 1,8 olup %84,1’ini kız ve %65,7’si hemşirelik bölümü öğrencileri oluşturmaktadır. Öğrencilerin %37,6’sı akademik başarısının iyi olduğunu, %69,7’si gelirlerinin giderlerine denk olduğunu, %65,9’u yurtta kaldığını ifade etmiştir. Öğrencilerin PUKI puan ortalamasına göre 62,7’sinin kötü uyku kalitesine sahip olduğu saptanmıştır. Öğrencilerin %51.4’ünün gece en az bir defa uyandığı, %18,7’sinin geçmişte uyku sorunu yaşadığı, %51’inin gece 6-7 saat uyuduğu bulunmuştur. Araştırmada birinci sınıfların diğer sınıflara göre, akademik başarısını kötü olarak belirtenlerin çok iyi olarak belirtenlere göre, son bir ayda gastrointestinal rahatsızlık yaşayanların yaşamayanlara göre ve akut enfeksiyon geçiren ve psikolojik bir sorun yaşayanların yaşamayan gruba göre Pittsburgh Uyku Kalitesi İndeksi puan ortalamaları istatistiksel olarak anlamlı derecede yüksek çıkmıştır (p < 0,05). Ayrıca sigara/alkol kullananların kullanmayanlara göre, günlük beş bardaktan fazla çay/kahve tüketenlerin tüketmeyenlere göre, gece en az bir defa uyananların uyanmayanlara göre, geçmişte uyku sorunu yaşayanların uyku sorunu yaşamayanlara göre, derslerine her zaman geç kalanların geç kalmayanlara göre ve gece uyumadan önce atıştıranların atıştırmayanlara göre Pittsburgh Uyku Kalitesi İndeksi puan ortalamaları istatistiksel olarak anlamlı derecede yüksek çıkmıştır (p < 0,05). Sonuç: Öğrencilerin önemli ölçüde uyku sorunlarının olduğu; sınıf, akademik başarı, fiziksel ve psikolojik rahatsızlık, sigara/alkol kullanımı, çay tüketimi, gece uyku sorunu yaşama, dinlenmiş olarak uyanamama, yatmadan önce atıştırma ile uyku kalitesinin ilişkili olduğu görülmüştür. Sağlık disiplini eğitimi alan hemşirelik ve ebelik öğrencilerinin uykunun önemi ve uyku kalitesi ile ilişkili faktörler konusunda bilgilendirilmesi önerilmektedir.
