Relationship Between Sleep Quality and Achievement of Medical Students in Indonesia

Abstract

Sleep quality is a form of fulfilling the satisfaction of an individual who undergoes a sleep process. The quality of a person's sleep is believed to have an impact on aspects of that person's life. Medical students are no exception, who are prone to sleep with poor quality. It is suspected that one of them can have an impact on their academic performance. This literature review aims to determine whether a person's sleep quality level contributes to the academic achievement of medical students in Indonesia. Based on the eleven studies reviewed, six studies found a positive relationship between the level of sleep quality and the academic achievement of medical students in Indonesia. This is presumably because of the factors that influence it, namely mental, physical, environmental, and so on. One of them is a change in the lifestyle of medical students such as a busy schedule of activities that requires medical students to adapt to affect their sleeping hours. Not only that, the most common thing that happens is due to high stressors or pressure that occurs which affects the quality of sleep and ends up affecting their academic performance. Based on eleven literature reviews that have been conducted, it is found that currently, as many as six studies support a positive relationship while five studies do not find a relationship between sleep quality and achievement in medical students in Indonesia.
