“…20 In the study conducted in Karnataka, Lohitashwa R et al also reported that 78% of medical students felt good sleep quality. 30 Though Lohitashwa R et al found a significant difference between self-reported sleep quality and sleep quality assessed using PSQI, 30 we detected a significant association between the quality of sleep assessed by PSQI and the subjectively felt quality of sleep reported by students. This may be because we had enlightened the students on the need for honest filling of questionnaires and assured them confidentiality.…”

BACKGROUND Medical students are more prone to have poor sleep quality because of stress, and greater academic commitments. Studies from different countries have reported that medical students have daytime sleepiness, poor sleep quality, and higher prevalence of sleep complaints than the general population. But these studies differed on the effect of gender on sleep. There is a correlation between sleep quality and academic performance of college students. Daytime sleepiness affects performance. METHODS We conducted a cross sectional analytical study on the sleep quality assessed by Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), the sleep quality reported by students and the daytime sleepiness assessed by Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) among 272 first and second year MBBS students of Govt. Medical College, Kottayam. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS Version 22.0. χ2-test was used to evaluate the association between the variables, independent samples t-test for continuous variables, Pearson's test for correlation, Mann-Whitney U test to compare the sleep quality and daytime sleepiness of first-years with those of secondyears and multinomial logistic regression analysis for confounding factors RESULTS Most of the first and second year MBBS students have good quality of sleep as per self-reporting and as assessed by PSQI and have higher normal daytime sleepiness. The poorer the sleep quality assessed by PSQI, the greater is the daytime sleepiness. Gender does not affect the quality of sleep and daytime sleepiness. Second year students have better sleep quality than first year students. CONCLUSIONS Most of the first and second year MBBS students in our institution have good sleep quality and higher normal daytime sleepiness. Poorer the sleep quality, greater is the daytime sleepiness. Gender has no effect on sleep quality or daytime sleepiness.

“…An even higher percentage was computed among students in Saudi Arabia, where poor sleep quality was reported by 74.2% of the study participants [42]. Percentages ranging from 58% to 77.78% were reported in other surveys [43][44][45].…”

Medicine and healthcare professions are prestigious and valued careers and, at the same time, demanding, challenging, and arduous jobs. Medical and allied health professions students, experiencing a stressful academic and clinical workload, may suffer from sleep disturbances. In Iran, several studies have been conducted to explore the prevalence rate among medical and healthcare professions students. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to quantitatively and rigorously summarize the existing scholarly literature, providing the decision- and policy-makers and educators with an updated, evidence-based synthesis. Only studies utilizing a reliable psychometric instrument, such as the Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI), were included, in order to have comparable measurements and estimates. Seventeen investigations were retained in the present systematic review and meta-analysis, totaling a sample of 3586 students. Studies were conducted between 2008 and 2018 and reported an overall rate of sleep disturbances of 58% (95% confidence interval or CI 45–70). No evidence of publication bias could be found, but formal analyses on determinants of sleep disturbances could not be run due to the dearth of information that could be extracted from studies. Poor sleep is highly prevalent among Iranian medical and healthcare professions students. Based on the limitations of the present study, high-quality investigations are urgently needed to better capture the determinants of poor sleep quality among medical and healthcare professions students, given the importance and the implications of such a topic.
