Social jetlag in adolescents: An evaluation from the chronotype and resilience perspectives

Öz

Aim: Adolescence is a sensitive developmental stage in which biological and social changes affect sleep patterns. During this period, delayed sleep timing may lead to social jetlag, the misalignment of biological and social clocks. Social jetlag has been associated with adverse health outcomes, but its relationship with resilience, a key protective factor for mental health, remains understudied. In this context, the aim of the study is to examine the relationship between chronotype, psychological resilience, and social jetlag in adolescents.
Materials and Methods: This descriptive and correlational study was conducted with 398 high school students (n=398) between April 2022 and June 2022. Data were collected using the Morningness Eveningness Scale for Children and the Child and Youth Resilience Measure. Social jetlag duration was calculated using the formula described in the literature.
Results: The adolescents’ mean social jetlag duration was 2.07±1.17 hours, and 51.8% had social jetlag ≥2 hours. As the tendency to evening chronotype increased (r=-0.386, p<0.001) and resilience levels decreased (r=-0.151, p<0.003), social jetlag duration increased. Adolescents with social jetlag ≥2 hours were more prone to evening chronotype (p<0.001) and had lower resilience levels (p<0.031). Lower grade levels (9th, 10th, and 11th), evening chronotype tendency (β=-0.079; p<0.001), and low resilience (β=-0.013; p=0.042) were identified as factors increasing SJL.
Conclusion: Evening chronotype tendency, low resilience, and lower grade levels are risk factors for social jetlag in adolescents. These findings highlight the importance of nursing in screening for social jetlag, supporting healthy sleep behaviours, and developing resilience-enhancing interventions to promote adolescent health.
