“…Researches have shown that the perception of stress is directly related to the individual's sleep quality, anxiety, depression and other symptoms [49][50][51]. The central symptom of depressive problems is PHQ4 "Fatigue", which means that providing some energetic activity or alleviating fatigue may help patients reducing depressive symptoms.…”

Background: While the emergence of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has greatly affected the mental health and wellbeing of people everywhere, the core symptoms of common syndromes of psychological distress remain unclear, especially among COVID-19 patients who have been quarantined in Square Cabin Hospitals. Using the method of network analysis, the current study explored the relations between stress, depression, anxiety and insomnia symptoms among COVID-19 patients in Shanghai Four-Leaf Clover Cabin Hospital. Method: The study used an online survey to gauge the mental health issues of COVID-19 patients at Shanghai Four-Leaf Clover Cabin Hospital from April 18 to May 19, 2022. The Perceived Stress Scale, Patient Health Questionnaire, Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale, and Insomnia Severity Index were used to assess perceived stress symptoms, depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, and insomnia symptoms, respectively. The central symptoms and bridge symptoms were determined using a regularized partial correlation network. Results: A total of 1014 patients was included in this study. Overall, 61.5%, 49.2% , and 56.1% of all patients reported symptoms of depressive, anxiety, and insomnia, respectively. “Distress caused by the sleep difficulties” had the highest expected influence, followed by “Excessive worry”, “Severity of sleep onset”, “Overburden”, “Uncontrollable worry”, “Trouble relaxing”, “Restlessness”. Seven bridge symptoms were identified: “Sad Mood”, “Severity of sleep onset”, “Sleep”, “Motor”, “Feeling afraid”, “Nervousness”, “Appetite”. In addition, significant differences in network global strength were found between women and men. Conclusions: Psychological distress was prevalent among COVID-19 patients and insomnia symptoms played a key role in the network of psychological distress symptoms. As a result, specific insomnia symptoms should be closely monitored as potential intervention targets in alleviating or preventing common, frequently co-occurring psychiatric syndromes.

“…Sleep quality was evaluated using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) [ 12 ]; the PSQI contains 19 self-reported questions. The PSQI is the most widely used assessment tool to evaluate subjective sleep quality during the previous month, which covers a broad range of indicators relevant to sleep quality [ 20 ].…”

“…The relationship between stress, anxiety, depression, and poor sleep quality has been highlighted in several published studies among healthcare students [ 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 ]. A study among nursing students reported that poor sleep quality was associated with stress and symptoms of depression and anxiety.…”

“…Mishra et al, in their study among 284 undergraduate medical students, found that students with stress had twofold odds of poor sleep quality compared to those without stress [ 13 ]. Another study found that higher perceived stress levels were significantly associated with poor sleep quality [ 12 ]. In a survey of 1125 college students between 17 and 24 years old, more than 60% of participants were classified as poor sleepers.…”

Objectives: Stress, anxiety, and depression among students have many negative health consequences and may predispose students to poor sleep quality; therefore, this research aimed to investigate the perceived stress, anxiety, and depression and their relation to the level of sleep quality among healthcare students. Methods: A cross-sectional study using a validated survey was conducted among Saudi healthcare students from different regions during the period from 26 September 2022 to 30 October 2022. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was utilized to assess sleep quality. PSPP Statistical Analysis Software version 1.2.0 was used for all statistical analyses. Results: 701 respondents participated in this research; the response rate was 73.8%. About 60% of the study sample was female, and the average age was 20.9 years. 80.3% of students have poor sleep quality; the participants’ mean sleeping hours per night was 6.81 ± 1.88 h. About three-quarters of students (72.9%) perceive themselves as stressed. A significant positive correlation was observed between sleep quality and perceived stress (r-value = 0.363), anxiety (r-value = 0.387), and depression (r-value = 0.347). Poor sleep quality was more likely among those with stress than those without stress (AOR = 1.79; 95% CI 1.07, 2.99) and two times more likely among students with cases of anxiety than those without anxiety (AOR = 2.07; 95% CI 1.10, 3.94). Conclusions: Our study highlights the high prevalence of poor sleep quality, anxiety, depression, and stress among healthcare students in Saudi Arabia. Students’ reported stress, anxiety, and residence region were associated with poor sleep quality. These results imply the necessity of regular screening and appropriate intervention for sleep problems, stressors, and anxiety among healthcare students.

“…Strong evidence suggests that the cumulative effects of stress have been linked to various mental health issues, including depression [10][11][12], anxiety and suicidal ideation [13], poor sleep quality [14], challenging living conditions, health problems [15], and di culties in interpersonal relationships [16].…”

Background: Meta-analytic results have revealed a significant influence of stress on a wide array of psychological and behavioral markers, underscoring its considerable clinical importance. Providing a simple and cost-effective tool assessing stress for the Arabic-speaking population, predominantly residing in low- and middle-income nations, where research can be arduous, would be immensely beneficial. Therefore, our aim was to examine the psychometric properties of an Arabic version of the Stress Numerical Rating Scale-11 (Arabic SNRS-11), including its factor structure, reliability, and construct validity. Methods: 763 participants were recruited during November 2023. An anonymous self-administered Google Forms link was distributed via social media networks. To explore the factor structure of the Arabic SNRS-11, we utilized the FACTOR software. Initially, an exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was performed, employing principal component analysis on the items from the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS). Subsequently, the analysis was repeated after integrating the Arabic SNRS-11. Results: The results of the EFA revealed two factors, which explained 66.43% of the common variance. When adding the SNRS-11, Bartlett’s test of sphericity, χ2(55) = 4127.1, p < .001, and KMO (.88) remained adequate. The two-factor solution obtained explained 63.28% of the variance. The same structure was obtained in both males and females separately. McDonald’s ω and Cronbach’s α were very good for all models. Both PSS and Arabic SNRS-11 scores correlated significantly and positively with each other, as well as with higher depression, anxiety and stress scores. Finally, no significant difference was found between males and females in terms of PSS and Arabic SNRS-11 scores. Conclusion: The findings indicate that the Arabic SNRS-11 is a cost-effective, valid, and reliable tool for assessing stress. Therefore, we strongly recommend its adoption in future research involving Arabic-speaking adolescents in clinical and research contexts within Arab regions, especially when researchers face limitations in terms of time or resources.
