Tóm tắt

Background: Sleep is a condition of reduced stimulation that allows the body to recoup and re-energize. Hence, poor sleep will affect the body's capacity to think and focus, raise the risk of health issues, and have a negative impact on learning, causing occupational mistakes and accidents. A busy theoretical study schedule, a clinical practice schedule at the hospital and a tight exam schedule will have certain impacts on the sleep quality of medical students. Objectives: Evaluation of quality and some factors related to sleep in third-year full-time medical students at Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 200 students studying full-time medicine, course 45, Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy (CTUMP). Results: Of the 56.5% of students who reported insomnia, mild insomnia accounted for 49%, moderate insomnia for 7.5%, and severe insomnia for none. The rate of reduced sleep quality was 72.7% in the group of students who consumed caffeine and 52.0% in the group who did not; the connection was statistically significant with a p-value of 0.01. The group with high physical activity had the lowest prevalence of insomnia (45.8%), and this association was statistically significant (p<0.05). Conclusions: More than half of third-year fulltime medical students (56.5%) experience mild to moderate insomnia with a mean PSQI scale score of 5.95±3.00 and mean sleep duration of 6.26±1.07 hours. Sleep quality in third-year medical students at CTUMP was affected by physical activity and caffeine usage.
