Abstract:
Objective:To explore the relationship between stress perception and sleep quality among college students, as well as the chain mediating role of expression inhibition and anxiety emotions.Methods:From October to December 2022, a cross-sectional survey was conducted among 785 college students using the perceived stress scale (PSS-14), emotion regulation questionnaire (ERQ), self-rating anxiety scale (SAS), and Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI). SPSS 26.0 software was used for common method bias testing, Pearson correlation analysis, and stratified regression analysis.PROCESS 3.5 macro program was used for mediating effect test.Results:(1) The correlation analysis results indicated that there were significant positive correlations between stress perception (39.22±7.63), expression inhibition (15.95±4.28), anxiety (45.85±11.70) and sleep quality (5.87±3.28)( r=0.120-0.596, all P<0.05). (2) The results of path analysis showed that stress perception could directly predict sleep quality, with a effect size of 0.243 (95% CI=0.172-0.313). Stress perception could indirectly affect sleep quality through anxiety emotion, with a effect size of 0.229 (95% CI=0.178-0.283). Stress perception could affect sleep quality through the chain mediation of expression inhibition and anxiety emotion, and the effect size was 0.010 (95% CI=0.002-0.019). Conclusion:Stress perception can directly predict sleep quality, and can also indirectly predict sleep quality through partial mediating effects of anxiety and chain mediating effects of expression inhibition and anxiety.
