Title

EFFECT OF EXAMINATION STRESS ON SLEEP QUALITY IN MEDICAL STUDENTS

Abstract

Introduction: Academic examinations stress is known to compromise sleep quality in medical students. Studying the relation between sleep quality and examinations stress can be useful in implementing an organized mental health program in medical colleges. The main objective is to study the effect of examinations stress on sleep quality in young adult medical students. Methods: A cross sectional study to recognize the effect of examinations stress on sleep quality among 100 medical students in 1st and 2nd year of MBBS. The instruments used for data collection were a self-report Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), Data collection was performed at both times during and without examination. Results: The readings of PSQI and ESS (during and without examinations) were analyzed by the Wilcoxon signed ring test and the result shows that there is a decrease in sleep quality during the exams (p<.001) i.e., highly significant and daytime sleepiness increases during exams(p<.05) i.e., significant. Statistical Analysis: Wilcoxon signed ring test was applied for statistical analysis of data where P valve <0.05 considered as statistically significant and <.001 considered as highly significant. Conclusions: Our study concluded that, a considerable proportion of medical students are affected by poor sleep quality during examinations. Sleep disruption acts as a barrier to students’ performance in clinical practices and academic performances. So, it is important to implement health promotion and educational programs for them.
