“…This study revealed that 39.30% of the participants experienced poor sleep quality as determined by the PSQI scale with a critical (40), and a study conducted in Beijing in 2021 identified a prevalence of 53.2% (41). Meanwhile, a survey conducted in Changsha reported that only 9.8% of university students suffer from sleep disorders (42), suggesting a substantial variation.…”

“…The Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) ( 39) is a tool to measure the ability to cope with stress and adversity. This study used a revised version (40) translated by Nan Xiao to measure the level of psychological resilience in university students. This scale contains 25 question entries which were divided into three dimensions of "Optimism", "Self-improvement" and "Tenacity", using a 5-point Likert scale: not true at all (0) to true almost all the time (4).…”

ObjectiveThis study aims to establish the precise prevalence of sleep disorders among university students in Jiangsu Province. Utilizing a representative sample of students, we measured their sleep quality based on the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Our objective is to quantitatively assess the magnitude of sleep quality and identify key factors. By detailed analysis of these relationships, our study seeks to provide actionable insights for the development of targeted interventions to enhance sleep quality within this population.MethodsFrom October to November 2022, we conducted a cross-sectional web-based survey in Jiangsu Province, China. Using convenient cluster sampling in each college, a total of 8457 participants were selected. The PSQI was applied to assess sleep quality among university students. Data collected included sociodemographic details, scores from the Mobile Phone Dependence Index (MPAI) and psychological resilience measured by the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC).ResultsThe overall prevalence of poor sleep quality among the participants was 39.30%. Binary logistic regression analysis revealed that higher physical activity (OR = 0.921; 95% CI: 0.779-1.090), earlier roommate bedtimes (OR = 0.799; 95% CI: 0.718-0.888), quieter dormitories (OR = 0.732; 95% CI: 0.647-0.828) and higher psychological resilience (OR = 0.982; 95% CI, 0.979-0.984) were protective factors linked to lower risk of poor sleep quality. Conversely, being a female student (OR = 1.238; 95% CI: 1.109-1.382), being a senior (OR = 1.582; 95% CI: 1.344-1.863), single-child status (OR = 1.195; 95% CI: 1.077-1.326), regular smoking (OR = 1.833; 95% CI: 1.181-2.847), regular alcohol consumption (OR = 1.737; 95% CI: 1.065-2.833), high academic stress (OR = 1.326; 95% CI: 1.012-1.736), high employment stress (OR = 1.352; 95% CI: 1.156-1.582), dissatisfaction with dormitory hygiene (OR = 1.140; 95% CI: 1.028-1.265), poor self-rated physical health (OR = 1.969; 95% CI: 1.533-2.529), poor self-rated mental health (OR = 2.924; 95% CI: 2.309-3.702) and higher mobile phone dependency were risk factors associated with an increased likelihood of poor sleep quality.ConclusionThe sleep quality among university students should attract immediate attention. The development of public services and mental health education initiatives is crucial in enhancing the sleep health of this population.

Beslenme Ve Diyetetik Bölümü Öğrencilerinde Uyku Kalitesi, Fiziksel Aktivite, Diyet Kalitesi, Gece Yeme Alışkanlığı Ve Beden Kütle İndeksi İlişkisinin Değerlendirilmesine Yönelik Kesitsel Bir Çalışma

Amaç: Üniversite öğrencileri arasında fiziksel inaktivite ve uyku kalitesi yetersizliği sık görülmektedir. Bu çalışma, üniversite öğrencilerinin fiziksel aktivite ve uyku kalitelerinin değerlendirilmesi ile diyet kalitesi ve gece yeme sendromu ile ilişkilerinin tespit edilmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Metot: Çalışma, Beslenme ve Diyetetik Bölümünde öğrenim gören yaş ortalaması 20.9±1.9 olan 100 öğrencinin katılımı ile yapılmıştır. Öğrencilere toplam 28 soru içeren anket uygulanmıştır. Çalışmaya katılan bireylerin boy uzunluğu ve vücut ağırlığı değerleri kullanılarak, beden kütle indeksi değerleri hesaplanmıştır. Ankette, “Uluslararası Fiziksel Aktivite Anketi-Kısa Form”, “Besin Tüketim Sıklığı Anketi”, “Besin Tüketim Kaydı”, “Pittsburgh Uyku Kalitesi İndeksi, Gece Yeme Anketi” ve “Diyet Kalite İndeksi-Uluslararası” yer almıştır. Bulgular: Öğrencilerin % 69.0’unun minimal aktif olduğu, % 49.0’unun uyku kalitesinin kötü olduğu, % 6.0’sında gece yeme sendromu olduğu, % 55.0’inin diyet kalitesinin kötü olduğu görülmüştür. Enerji içeceği, kola, gazoz vb. ve meyve tüketim sıklığının uyku kalitesini azaltabildiği belirlenmiştir. Enerji içeceği, kola, gazoz vb., hazır meyve suyu, sütlü tatlılar, hamur işi tatlılar, margarin, cips ve patates kızartması tüketim sıklıkları ile gece yeme sendromu arasında pozitif yönlü korelasyon olduğu saptanmıştır. Uyku kalitesi ile fiziksel aktivite ve gece yeme arasında zıt yönlü ilişki olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Gece yeme ile beden kütle indeksi arasında pozitif yönlü ilişki olduğu görülmüştür. Besin tüketim sıklığı, fiziksel aktivite ve gece yemenin uyku kalitesini % 57,4 oranında etkilediği belirlenmiştir. Diyet kalitesi ile uyku kalitesi arasında ilişki bulunmamıştır. Sonuç: Üniversite öğrencileri arasında yaygınlık gösteren uyku kalitesizliğinin ortadan kaldırılması için uyku kalitesini azaltan besinlerin tüketiminden kaçınılması ve fiziksel aktivitenin makul düzeylerde artırılması önem taşımaktadır.

“…It seems we also lack sufficient evidence to understand the roles of health and ehealth literacy in the development of cyberchondria. While some studies have shown that, contrary to expectations, e health literacy may be positively associated with cyberchondria severity [ 10 , 11 ], Savkin et al did not observe a significant association between health literacy and cyberchondria in healthcare workers from Turkey [ 12 ]. Finally, Yousefi et al reported a significant negative relationship between cyberchondria and information literacy in medical science students [ 13 ].…”

Background It has been suggested that cyberchondria leads to increased utilization of healthcare services. Unfortunately, not many studies have analyzed this effect comprehensively. The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between cyberchondria severity and the utilization of healthcare services among adult Internet users after adjusting for sociodemographic characteristics and the health status of respondents. Methods The analysis detailed in this paper examined data from a computer-based, web-based interviewing survey performed among a representative sample of 1613 Polish Internet users. Cyberchondria severity was assessed with the Cyberchondria Severity Scale (CSS). The variables reflecting the use of healthcare services were based on the frequency of visits to family physicians and specialists, diagnostic procedures, hospital admissions, and emergency services, and finally being vaccinated against COVID-19. The effect of cyberchondria severity on the utilization of healthcare services and alternative medicine was adjusted for key sociodemographic variables, the presence of chronic diseases, disability, and unspecific symptoms. For variables reflecting the use of services, ordinal logistic regression and multivariable logistic regression models were developed. Results Cyberchondria severity was a significant predictor of the utilization of all but one of the analyzed healthcare services and alternative medicine. The odds of being in a higher category of the utilization of visits to family physicians and specialists, hospital admissions, emergency services and alternative medicine services increased by a factor of 1.01–1.02 for every unit increase of the cyberchondria score. The cyberchondria score was a negative predictor of COVID-19 vaccine uptake. The effect of cyberchondria on outcome variables was independent of the level of health anxiety, sociodemographic variables, and variables reflecting the health status of respondents. Conclusions Cyberchondria leads to more intensive use of nearly all healthcare services, but in the case of vaccination against COVID-19, cyberchondria severity was a negative predictor. Cyberchondria’s effect extends beyond health anxiety.
