Abstract

Introduction: Health sciences students frequently experience poor sleep quality, with the prevalences of poor sleepers ranging between 60% and 90%. This phenomenon is associated with the high academic demands and elevated stress levels they face during their training. Objective: To describe the sleep quality of students from the Faculty of Health Sciences of the University of Boyacá in 2018. Methodology: A descriptive-analytical study was conducted with a sample of 388 students enrolled between semesters the third and ninth semesters, selected through stratified probabilistic sampling. Sleep quality was assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Questionnaire (PSQI). An exploratory analysis was performed, followed by correlation tests using chi-square (X2). Results: The mean age of the study population was 22.2 ± 3.14 years, with a majority of female participants (82.5%). A total of 57.7% percent of the students were classified as poor sleepers. Bivariate analysis did not reveal a statistically significant relationship between gender and sleep quality, nor in the components assessed by the PSQI. Conclusions: Health sciences students exhibit a significant tendency toward poor sleep quality, particularly in aspects related to sleep efficiency, latency, and disturbances.
