Abstract: (11 Views)
Introduction: Medical students are more exposed to sleep problems due to their heavy academic workloads and high levels of stress and work pressure, compared to other academic groups. Temperament of an individual is one of the factors affecting sleep. Additionally, females tend to be more sensitive to environmental stress and anxiety than males. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between temperament and sleep disorders in female medical students in 2024.
Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 120 female medical students living in the dormitory of Arak University of Medical Science in Arak, Iran. After obtaining informed consent from the participants, necessary explanations were provided, and information was collected through the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Questionnaire, a demographic questionnaire, and the Temperament Questionnaire developed by Dr. Mojahedi. The data was analyzed using the Chi-square test in SPSS 20 software.
Results: Average age of participants was 21.78±2.34. Moreover, 24.2% of the subjects had a temperate and dry temperament, while 3.3% had a warm and dry temperament. The chi-square test did not show a statistically significant difference between temperament type and sleep quality, effective sleep duration, sleep adequacy, sleep disorders, use of sleep medication, morning performance, and sleep disorders according to the educational level of students (p > 0.05). The chi-square test showed a statistically significant difference between temperament type and delay in falling asleep (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: The temperament of female students does not have a significant effect on sleep quality as measured by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. However, it may lead to a delay in falling asleep and sleep onset.
