PREVALENSI KUALITAS TIDUR PADA MAHASISWA KEPERAWATAN TAHUN PERTAMA

Background: Sleep is important for physical and mental health, helping the body repair and regenerate. Poor sleep
quality leads to mood disturbances, fatigue, and decreased academic performance. Students often experience sleep
disturbances due to academic pressure and bad habits such as the use of electronic devices, alcohol consumption, and
cigarettes. Factors such as anxiety, screen time, and poor sleep habits affect their sleep quality.
Research Method: This study used a correlative descriptive design with 129 respondents to describe the prevalence
of sleep quality of first-year nursing students. Primary data was collected through questionnaires filled out by students
who met the inclusion criteria. The researcher distributed the questionnaire and contacted the class leader for filling
assistance. The questionnaires used were the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and the Perceptions of Academic
Stress Scale (PAS).
Results: The results of this study showed that the frequency distribution of sleep quality components showed that the
majority of first-year nursing students had poor sleep quality, with 104 respondents (80.6%). Sleep latency of 16-30
minutes was experienced by 102 respondents (79.1%), and sleep duration <7 hours by 106 respondents (82.2%).
Only 25 respondents (19.4%) had good sleep quality. The distribution of academic stress showed that 103 students
(79.8%) experienced moderate stress, and 26 students (20.2%) experienced low stress.
Conclusion: Based on the results of the study on the prevalence of sleep quality in first-year nursing students, it was
concluded that the majority of respondents had poor sleep quality, with 104 respondents (80.6%), while only 25
respondents (19.4%) had good sleep quality, based on the PSQI questionnaire. In addition, the majority of respondents
experienced moderate academic stress, with 103 respondents (79.8%), and only 26 respondents (20.2%) experienced
low academic stress, based on the PAS (Perceptions of Academic Stress Scale) questionnaire.
