Hubungan Stres dengan Kualitas Tidur Mahasiswa Tahap Akhir dalam Pengerjaan Skripsi di Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Sumatera Utara

Abstract

Background: It is common for medical students to be subjected to stress. They face a demanding curriculum that requires a high degree of responsibility and dedication. Their busy schedules require the sacrifice of sleep hours for studying or completing assignments. The harmful effect of stress on sleep quality can be amplified as a consequence of this sleep loss. Objective: The purpose of this study is to discover the relationship between stress levels and sleep quality on final-year medical students. Methods: This study is an analytic study with cross sectional design conducted on 149 final-year medical students of Universitas Sumatera Utara by completing Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-42 (DASS42) questionnaire to measure stress levels and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaire to measure sleep quality. Data were analyzed using Chi Square test. Results: We found 49.7% subjects are unaffected by stress, 24.8% subjects experience mild stress, 16.1% subjects experience moderate stress, and 9.4% subjects experience severe stress. We also found 77.9% subjects have poor sleep quality and 22.1% subjects have good sleep quality. The Chi Square analysis shows p-value of 0.009 (p <0.05). Conclusion: There is a relationship between stress levels and sleep quality on final-year medical students of Universitas Sumatera Utara.
