Abstract:
Objective: To investigate factors associated with poorer sleep quality.Methods: Cross-sectional study carried out in 2019, with systematic random sampling. Sleep quality were measured using the Mini Sleep Questionnaire (MSQ). The independent variables evaluated included sociodemographic, behavioral, academic, and psychological health characteristics. Poisson regression was used for the adjusted analyses.
Results: A total of 996 undergraduate students participated in this study. The poorer sleep quality has reached 23,1% of the sample (IC95% 20,5- 25,9), ranging13,4% for those with low concern about neighborhood violence to 36,5% % for those with lower social support. In the adjusted analysis, females [PR] 1.81, (95%CI 1.33-2.45), lower income [PR] 1.78, (95%CI 1.21-2.61), worry about neighborhood violence [PR] 2.21, (95%CI 1.48- 3.28), discrimination at the university [PR] 1.42, (95%CI 1.08-1.86), food insecurity [PR] 1.45, (95%CI 1.11- 1.89) and less social support [PR] 1.72, (95%CI 1.17-2.54) were associated with poorer sleep quality, as well as psychological distress.
Conclusion: Ours results show that socioeconomic and mental health factors interfere with sleep quality and emphasizes the need for reflection and proposition of interventions can reduce this problem.
