| Abstract | Cilj: Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je ispitati povezanost digitalnih medija i kvalitete spavanja
studenata medicine.
Ispitanici i postupci: U ovom istraživanju sudjelovalo je 339 studenata medicine Medicinskog
fakulteta u Splitu i Mostaru, 263 žene i 73 muškarca, u dobi od 19 do 31 godinu. Istraživanje je
provedeno pomoću ankete u obliku google formulara. Sastojala se od pitanja o učestalosti i
vremenu korištenja društvenih mreža, Upitnika o korištenju društvenih medija (SMUQ), pitanja o
zastupljenosti i važnosti digitalnih medija i Pittsburgh indeksa kvalitete spavanja (PSQI). Ispitanici
su prema SMUQ upitniku podijeljeni u dvije skupine: s rezultatom SMUQ≤10 i SMUQ>10.
Rezultati: Najveći broj ispitanika koristi WhatsApp, a najmanji Twitter. Ispitanici čiji je rezultat
SMUQ-a bio veći od 10 koristili su gotovo sve društvene mreže u većem postotku od onih sa
SMUQ-om manjim od 10. Većinu društvenih mreža studenti sa SMUQ-om većim od 10 koristili
su više od 1 sata. Teški korisnici su kasnije odlazili na spavanje (24h 12min±1h 17min vs. 23h
45min±1h 6min, P<0,001), bilo im je potrebno više minuta za usnivanje (21±19min vs. 16±14min,
P=0,006), te su se ujutro kasnije ustajali od umjerenih korisnika (7h 31min±1h 6min vs. 7h
12min±1h, P=0,006). Subjektivnu kvalitetu spavanja boljom su ocijenili studenti iz skupine
SMUQ≤10 (3,18±0,78 vs. 2,92±0,76, P=0,002). Teški korisnici češće su imali dnevne simptome
od umjerenih korisnika (1,39±0,72 vs. 1,05±0,73, P<0,001). Ukupan PSQI bio je statistički
značajno veći u skupini SMUQ>10 nego u skupini SMUQ≤10 (7,88±2,10 vs. 7,29±2,01, P=0,010).
Zaključak: Studenti medicine koji su prepoznati kao teški korisnici društvenih mreža provodili
su više vremena na društvenim mrežama, te su imali lošiju kvalitetu spavanja u odnosu na studente
medicine koji su prepoznati kao umjereni korisnici društvenih mreža. To ukazuje na važnost
edukacije o utjecaju digitalnih medija na spavanje, posebno među mlađom populacijom koja ih
najviše i koristi |
| Abstract (english) | Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between digital media use and
sleep quality in medical students.
Subjects and methods: 339 medical students of the University of Split School of Medicine and
University of Mostar School of Medicine, 263 women and 73 men, aged 19 to 31, participated in
this study. We conducted the survey using a questionnaire, which was in the google form. It
consisted of questions about the frequency and time of social media use, the Social Media Use
Questionnaire (SMUQ), questions about the representation and importance of digital media and
Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). According to the SMUQ questionnaire, the respondents
were divided into two groups. The first group consists of those with a score of SMUQ≤10, and the
second group consists of those with SMUQ>10.
Results: Research has shown that the largest number of respondents use WhatsApp and the
smallest Twitter. Respondents with SMUQ>10 used almost all social networks in a higher
percentage than those with SMUQ ≤10. Most social media students with a SMUQ greater than 10
used more than 1 hour. Heavy users went to bed later (24h 12 min±1h 17 min vs. 23h 45 min±1h
6 min, P<0,001), they needed more minutes to fall asleep (21min±19 min 35 sec vs. 15 min 45
sec±14min 8 sec, P=0.006), and in the morning they were more late than moderate users (7h 31
min±1h 6 min vs. 7h 12 min±1h, P=0.006). Subjective sleep quality was rated better by students
from the SMUQ≤10 group (3.18±0.78 vs. 2.92±0.76, P=0.002). Severe users were more likely to
have daily symptoms than moderate users (1.39±0.72 vs. 1.05±0.73, P<0.001). The total PSQI was
statistically significantly higher in the SMUQ>10 group than in the SMUQ≤10 group (7.88±2.10
vs. 7.29±2.01, P=0.010).
Conclusion: Medical students who were recognized as heavy users of social networks spent more
time on social media and had poorer sleep quality compared to medical students who were
recognized as moderate users of social networks. This shows us the importance of educating about
the impact of digital media on sleep, especially among the younger population that uses them the
most. |
