The relationship between sleep quality and academic achievement of health studies students

Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je ispitati povezanost kvalitete sna i akademskog uspjeha kod studenata zdravstvenih studija. Pored primarnog cilja, namjera je istraživanja bila i ispitati postojanje razlika u kvaliteti sna kod studenata različitih studijskih godina i studijskih smjerova te po dobi i spolu. U istraživanju je sudjelovao 261 student. Shodno rezultatima provedenog istraživanja, utvrđeno je da kvaliteta sna nema značajnog utjecaja na akademski uspjeh studenata zdravstvenih studija. Uz navedeno, ni akademske karakteristike ne utječu značajno na kvalitetu sna studenata. Također, zapaženo je da više od polovice studenata nema značajnih poteškoća s poremećenim snom. Nadalje, utvrđeno je kako je studentima fizioterapije najviše vremena potrebno da zaspu, dok je studentima radiološke tehnologije potrebno najmanje vremena za usnivanje. Specifičnosti su ustanovljene i u pogledu uzimanja lijekova za spavanje, pri čemu je opažena poveznica uzimanja lijekova za spavanje s dobnom strukturom i akademskim uspjehom studenata.This study aimed to examine the relationship between sleep quality and academic achievement in health studies students. Apart from the primary objective, the aim of the study was also to investigate the differences in the quality of sleep among students of different study years and study fields, including their age and gender. The study was carried out with the participation of 261 students. In consonance with the results of the survey, it has been confirmed that sleep quality does not have a substantial impact on the academic achievement of health studies students. In addition, neither did academic characteristics have a significant impact on the sleep quality of students. Also, it is noted that more than half of the students do not have significant difficulties with their sleep. Furthermore, it is noted that physiotherapy students take the most time to fall asleep, while radiology students take the least time to doze off. Specificities are also established in terms of the use of sleeping pills, where correspondence between the use of sleeping pills with an age structure and the academic achievement of students is observed
