Abstract Introduction: Stress has shown a significant impact on the contribution towards depression. The frequency of medical students who suffer from stress is increasing where it could cause sleep disturbance which will impact the student’s sleep quality.
Objective: This study attempted to investigate the effect of stress towards sleep quality among medical students in University of Cyberjaya.
Methods: The questionnaires used to collect the data which included the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale-21 (Dass-21), the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) the and a self-reported sociodemographic inventory were completed by 400 medical students within University of Cyberjaya by systematic random sampling and stratified sampling. Descriptive statistics, logistics regression, chi-square test, ANOVA were conducted for data analysis with significant p-value of <0.05.
Results: This study found that the prevalence of stress and poor sleep quality among medical students in University of Cyberjaya was 34.8% and 66.4% respectively. Chi square shows significant association between stress and sleep quality (OR=1.14 ,95% CI 0.85 to 1.83; p<0.001). For sociodemographic data, only age and ethnicity showed significant association with stress (p=0.03).
Conclusion: Hence, it is evident that medical students had a higher perceived stress and poor sleep quality. A direct benefit to the health or well-being can be provided if we are able to determine the stress condition of a person and vice versa. Further research is needed to examine how stress would affect other aspects of a person’s life. Thus, we hope people can start to take an early initiative to start improving their own condition, quality, and well-being.
