Seberapa Besar Peran Kualitas Tidur Terhadap Stres Akademik Mahasiswa?

Abstract

Stres akademik merupakan suatu keadaan dimana pelajar merasa tidak mampu untuk menghadapi berbagai macam peran dan tuntutan akademik dan mempersepsikannya sebagai suatu gangguan (stressor). Mahasiswa yang stres cenderung mengalami kualitas tidur yang kurang. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk memprediksi peran kualitas tidur terhadap stres akademik. Responden dalam penelitian ini berjumlah 153 mahasiswa aktif dengan rentang usia 18-24 tahun. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kuantitatif. Instrumen yang digunakan untuk menganalisis data dalam penelitian ini adalah skala kualitas tidur, dan stress akademik. Penelitian ini menggunakan teknik analisis regresi linear sederhana. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa kualitas tidur dapat memprediksi sebesar 28,2% terhadap stress akademik yang dialami oleh mahasiswa. Oleh karena itu, semakin rendah kualitas tidur yang dimiliki oleh mahasiswa, maka akan semakin tinggi pula tingkat stres akademik yang dialami mahasiswa. Perlu upaya untuk meningkatkan kualitas tidur sebagai upaya meminimalisir stres akademik seperti melalui konseling kesehatan, dan menyadari ada hal-hal yang menyebabkan kualitas tidur terganggu.

The Role of Daily Hassles and Loneliness Toward Sleep Quality

“…When associated with the results of previous studies using stress variables in general and stress specifically, the findings of this study add to the evidence that stress does have a role in the quality of a person's sleep. Several studies that have proven that stress plays a role in the quality of a person's sleep were found by Noveni et al (6), which state that stress, especially academic stress, has a role in the quality of student sleep. Other findings also state that there is a correlation between stress and sleep quality in the final year (28).…”

“…The results of previous research also stated that low sleep quality in individuals is related to stress, both general stress due to daily problems (daily hassles) and academic stress in students (6). When individuals experience stress, according to research by Noveni et al (6), there is an increase in the hormones epinephrine, norepinephrine and cortisol, which affect the central nervous system and cause individuals to be in a state of wakefulness. This can also increase alertness in the central nervous system, which affects the quality of individual sleep (Noveni et al, 2022).…”

Individuals will also often have nightmares or wake up in the middle of the night due to changes in these hormones, which affect Nonrapid Eye Movement (NREM) and Rapid Eye Movement (REM) (7).…”

“…Often, the stress experienced by students is academic stress. According to Noveni et al (6), academic stress is a type of stress caused by the perceptions that individuals have regarding academic issues. Students with a low level of sleep quality will have a high level of academic stress (6).…”

“…According to Noveni et al (6), academic stress is a type of stress caused by the perceptions that individuals have regarding academic issues. Students with a low level of sleep quality will have a high level of academic stress (6). Another reason that can trigger poor sleep quality in individuals is the existence of Daily Hassles or what can be called daily problems.…”
