“…The consequence of poor sleep quality in the student population is a feeling of day-time sleepiness that results in a decline in cognitive abilities (attention, concentration and decision-making) [15,22], which has been confirmed by the results of this study. Namely, the students who said that it had happened to them to doze off during lectures had significantly lower sleep quality than those who did not.…”

“…They are therefore at risk of having poor sleep quality, daytime dysfunction and cognitive impairment. Although a large number of them strive to adapt their daily activities to academic, social and other obligations, only a small number of students manage to align their obligations with the circadian regulated sleep-wake rhythm [11,15]. Accordingly, students in our study slept for about 6.4 hours on average, with sleep latency within 20 minutes, and almost half of them had sleep efficiency less than 85%, whereas two-thirds reported daytime dysfunction.…”

“…Comparing two groups of health science students, we found that the students of basic studies had poorer sleep quality compared to the students of integrated studies. This result could be explained by the fact that the students of basic studies are overloaded with a large number of hours of practical skill training [19], and that a certain number of them work and study [15,20], or perhaps by the fact that those who study integrated studies use better strategies for solving their academic obligations [2]. Also, the students with an average grade between 8.00 and 8.99 had poor sleep quality.…”

Introduction. The purpose of this study was to evaluate sleep quality among healthcare science students and to assess its association with sleep hygiene knowledge and practices, circadian typology and lifestyle factors. Material and Methods. The research was conducted as a cross-sectional questionnaire-based internet study on a sample of 268 students. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and The Self-Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire were applied as research instruments to assess sleep quality and chronotypes respectively, while evaluation of the other variables was conducted using he Sleep Hygiene Knowledge Questionnaire, socio-demographic questionnaire and the questionnaire of lifestyle factors. Results. The average of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index global score for all students was 6.9 ± 3.2. The poor sleep quality (The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index > 5) was reported in 62.7% of students. Sleep efficiency less than 85% was found in 43.0% of students, and 78% of students reported daytime dysfunctionality. Sleep quality was significantly worse among female students; coffee, alcohol and energy drink consumers and long-term cell phone users. Only 11.9% of students were classified as the morning chronotype and they had the best quality of sleep and the best sleep hygiene knowledge and practices, whereas the evening chronotype had the worst quality of sleep. A significant negative correlation was identified between sleep hygiene knowledge (r = -0.133) and practice (r = 0.501) and sleep quality whereby the lower t he Sleep Hygiene Knowledge Questionnaire and Sleep Hygiene Practice Scale scores follow a higher the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index score. Conclusion. Majority of students had a suboptimal level of overall sleep quality, satisfactory knowledge of sleep hygiene, but they did not have the sleep hygiene practices which suggests that knowledge is not a factor of deterring from unhealthy behaviors. SažetakUvod. Cilj ove studije bio je da se proceni kvalitet spavanja studenata zdravstvenih nauka i ispita njegova veza sa znanjem i praksom higijene spavanja, cirkadijalnom tipologijom i faktorima životnog stila. Materijal i metode. Istraživanje je sprovedeno kao studija preseka onlajn anketiranjem 268 studenta. Kao instrumenti istraživanja koristili su se Pitsburški indeks kvaliteta spavanja za procenu kvaliteta spavanja, Upitnik o samoproceni "jutarnjosti/ večernjosti" za procenu diurnalne sklonosti, a za evaluaciju ostalih varijabili korišten je Upitnik znanja o higijeni spavanja i Skala prakse higijene spavanja, sociodemografski upitnik i upitnik o životnom stilu i navikama. Rezultati. Prosečan ukupni skor Pitsburškog indeksa kvaliteta spavanja svih studenata iznosio je 6,9 ± 3,2. Loš kvalitet spavanja (Pitsburški indeks kvaliteta spavanja > 5) imalo je 62,7% studenata. Efikasnost spavanja manju od 85% imalo je 43% studenata, a 78% je prijavilo dnevnu disfunkcionalnost. Studenti ženskog pola, konzumenti kafe, alkohola i energetskih napitaka, kao i oni koji duže koriste mobilne telefone, imali su značajno l...
