Uyku Hijyeni Eğitiminin Etkilei / Effects of Sleep Hygiene Eduction Intoduction Sleep poblems e common in both school-ge childen nd young dult univesity students, with lmost hlf of secondy school students epoting poo sleep qulity especilly on Sundy nights [1] nd one thid of univesity students epoting insufficient sleep [2]. Exmintion nxiety, lte-night studying, socil ctivities, compute-bsed pplictions, pt-time jobs, nd intenet oveuse might be mong the potentil cuses of iegul sleep-wke pttens o indequte sleep in univesity students. Iegul sleep-wke cycles hve been shown to be chcteized by get phse delys on weekends nd shot sleep dution on weekdys [3-4]. Sleep is of pticul inteest mong medicl students, s they encounte incesed cdemic pessues nd stess levels. Exm nxiety, envionment nd iegul schedules my contibute to poo sleep qulity [5], which in tun my hve negtive impct on cdemic pefomnce [6]. Also medicl students helth hbits hve n impct on thei cdemic pefomnces, emotionl djustment, nd futue functioning s physicins. Reduced sleep quntity o qulity eithe in the fom of sleep depivtion o sleep estiction, hs negtive effects on the tempol blnce between the cicdin pcemke nd homeosttic sleep dive, inducing sleepiness nd decese in neuobehviol pefomnce with enegy loss, ftigue, difficulty in concentting, nd memoy lpses [7]. Mnbe et l. hve studied the consequences of iegul sleep pttens nd found tht students who slept t lest 7.5 hou pe night but kept n iegul sleep schedule epoted highe levels of dytime sleepiness thn students who slept the sme mount of time nd kept eltively egul sleep schedule [8]. Medeios et l. hve epoted tht iegulity of the sleep-wke cycle s well s depivtion of sleep influenced the cdemic pefomnce of medicl students [9]. Futhemoe, they suggested tht it is necessy to ethink the school schedules nd to guide the students sleeping hbits with the gol of educing the negtive effects on thei lening. In fct, sleep poblems mong univesity students e ssocited with poo sleep hygiene nd guiding infomtion on helthy sleep nd sleep hygiene might impove self-weness of individul sleep helth. Thus, cdemic pefomnce of students might be ffected positively by impoving sleep hygiene. In most studies insufficient sleep nd iegul sleep wke pttens hd been extensively documented in younge dolescents, nd lso close eltionships between sleep qulity nd physicl nd mentl helth hve been shown. It hs been suggested tht intevention pogms fo sleep distubnce in this popultion should be consideed [10] but thee e not mny inteventions in highe eduction egding the fomtion of positive study envionment nd cpcity to ech infomtion imed t incesing cdemic success of the students. The im of this study ws to investigte the pevlence of sleep qulity poblems, detect the eltion of sleep qulity nd cdemic pefomnces nd investigte the effects of stnddized sleep hygiene eduction nd to compe pe- nd postintevention exmintion pefomnces of fist gde medicl students. Mteil nd Method Study popultion nd initil ssessments The study subjects wee 131 fist ye medicl students of Tky Univesity Fculty of Medicine consisting of 61 mles nd 70 femles. All pticipnts ttended the sme school schedules, with clsses beginning t 08.30 on weekdys. Pio to pticiption ech student filled out n identifiction fom with pesonl infomtion, including thei dily ctivities, sleep chcteistics, nd homewok schedules. The pticipnts lso filled out Pittsbugh sleep qulity index (PSQI) to detemine subjective sleep qulity nd Epwoth sleepiness scle (ESS) to quntify the level of dytime sleepiness. Scoes of the finl exms of the fll semeste wee used s mkes of cdemic pefomnce. Duing the fll semeste ll pticipnts mintined thei sleeping hbits without ny intevention. By the end of the fist semeste, the student list ws put to n ode ccoding to PSQI scoes nd students wee ssigned to intevention nd contol goups in tun. Any student who did not ccept to ttend to the intevention let to be in contol goup nd the next student ws ttened to the intevention goup. The goups wee confimed to be equivlent in tems of ge, gende, cdemic pefomnce, nd scoes of PSQI nd ESS. The stuctued sleep hygiene eduction ws given to intevention goup in the beginning of sping semeste. Scoes of the finl exms of the sping semeste wee gin collected. Two students who did not ttend sping finl exms wee dopped out of the study. Effects of the intevention, i.e. sleep hygiene eduction, on sleep qulity nd cdemic pefomnce wee nlyzed.

Uyku Hijyeni Eğitiminin Etkilei / Effects of Sleep Hygiene Eduction Pittsbugh sleep qulity index nd Epwoth sleepiness scle Pittsbug Sleep Qulity Index (PSQI) is self-epoted questionnie tht ssesses sleep qulity nd sleep distubnce ove one-month peiod [11]. It compises of 19 individul items geneting seven component scoes: subjective sleep qulity, sleep ltency, sleep dution, hbitul sleep efficiency, sleep distubnces, use of sleeping mediction nd dytime dysfunction. The sum of scoes fo these seven components yields one globl PSQI scoe. Pesons with globl PSQI scoe lowe thn 5 e consideed s good sleepes; whees, globl scoes highe thn 5 indicte poo sleepes. A Tukish tnsltion including the elibility nd vlidity studies of this scle hve been peped nd dministeed in Tukish smple [12]. Epwoth sleepiness scle is n 8-item questionnie tht quntifies dytime sleep popensity. Ech item is scoed between 0 = none, nd 3 = high chnce of doze. ESS scoe vies between 0 nd 24. Highe ESS scoes indicte highe tendency to sleep o incesed dytime sleepiness. Assessment of cdemic pefomnce All finl exmintion scoes of the fll semeste wee ecoded s pecent vlue of complete scoe.

Discussion The stuctue of medicl eduction itself is likely to contibute to disuptions in students helth hbits. Although sleep depivtion is common occuence duing the lte clinicl yes nd esidency, chnges in sleep hbits my occu s ely s the fist ye s students djust thei sleep schedules in fvo of studying [13]. High pevlence of dytime sleepiness, poo sleep qulity nd psychologicl distess hs been documented mong medicl students nd it hs been suggested tht by weness of the high pevlence nd possible impct of excessive dytime sleepiness on the medicl students will help to the teching stffs to mnge sleep eduction nd sleep hygiene especilly to those who wee identified s potentil individuls [14]. Zilinwti et l. investigted the dytime sleepiness nd sleep qulity mong Mlysin medicl students nd found high pevlence of excessive dytime sleepiness, 35.5% comped to 14.8 of the Mlysin genel popultion [14] nd thei esult ws slightly lowe thn (42.4%) those expeienced by the Bzilin medicl students [6] nd they lso epoted significnt ssocition between dytime sleepiness nd dvese cdemic pefomnce. Bick et l. found tht ove one hlf of thei smple (50.9%) met the clinicl cutoff of the PSQI fo poo sleep qulity [15]. Similly in ou study, students hve highe veges of dytime sleepness nd poo sleep qulity. Veldi et.l investigted the sleep poblems mong medicl students nd found tht sleep qulity ws ssocited with cdemic pogess, leisue ctivity nd living conditions nd lso sleep qulity ws not ssocited with students dily o nightly woklod [16]. While dytime sleepiness posed significnt poblem fo students nd ws ssocited both with sleep disodes nd wok while studying [16]. Chonic ptil sleep loss hs negtive effects on neuocognitive pefomnce, mood, nd helth. Sleep depivtion mong dolescents cuses n incese in inttentive behvio nd dytime sleepiness my ffect mood, behvio, nd cdemic pefomnce [17]. As known sleep hygiene efes to list of behvios, envionmentl conditions, nd othe sleep-elted fctos tht cn be djusted s stnd-lone tetment o component of multimodl tetment fo ptients with insomni. Sleep hygiene efes to list of ules defining behvious nd envionmentl conditions tht impove sleep qulity. These sleep-elted fctos cn be djusted to get bette sleep. Thee e plenty of vesions with dditions to nd/o deletions fom oiginl list [18]. In bief, ll sleep hygiene ecommendtions include egul bedtime/wketime, voidnce fom lcohol nd cffeine, conditions of sleeping envioment [bed comfot, tempetue, noise, dkness, nd execise timing. Indequte sleep hygiene ecuited fom ICSD definition [19] included dytime npping, extended mounts of time spent in bed, scheduling execise too close to bedtime, fequent use of the bed fo non-sleep-elted ctivities [eding, sncking, wtching television, etc ], lcohol, tobcco o cffeine consumption just befoe the bedtime. Simil to the litetue, ou study esults demonstted the eltionship between sleep qulity nd cdemic success. The semin pogm povided in ou study to incese the qulity of sleep of students poved success in decesing the globl PSQI scoes of the students epesenting n impovement in sleep qulities in students with pominently impied sleep qulity t bseline. The size of the impiment in sleep qulity detemines the size of the benefit to be obtined. The slight positive chnges obseved in qulity of sleep wee somewht eflected to the cdemic success. Any impovements in dytime sleepiness wee less in the study goup thn in the contol goup nd gin not sttisticlly significnt. This esult suggests tht the sleep hygiene eduction did not tget dytime sleepiness nd dytime sleepiness does not elted to cdemic pefomnce. Ou smll smple size hs pevented some of the esults gining sttisticl significnce nd the esults should be confimed in othe studies with gte smple sizes using PSQI scoe the thn dytime sleepness s mke of cdemic pefomnce. In conclusion, sleep qulity is impotnt fo cdemic pefomnce mong medicl students. In genel, subjective sleep qulity mesued by PSQI of medicl students is bove the cut off vlue fo poo sleep qulity. Any intevention imed to incese cdemic pefomnce should tget sleep qulity but 4
