Abstract:
Objective:To explore the effect of early adversity on sleep quality of college students, and to provide a reference for relieving the negative effects of early adversity.
Methods:The cross-sectional design and two-stage sampling method was used to select 874 college students from five universities in central China. Questionnaires of socioeconomic status, perception of control were used to make an investigation, and the data was analyzed through t test, hierarchical multiple regression, and Bootstrap program.
Results:The sleep quality of college students with early poverty(4.24±1.46) was significantly lower than that of normal college students(4.77±1.32)(t=3.37, P<0.01). The sense of control of college students acted as a personal resource that attenuated the negative impact of childhood socioeconomic status on young adult sleep equality after controlling the gender, age and current socioeconomic status (β=-0.08, 95%CI=-0.13~-0.01, P<0.05).
Conclusion:These results suggest that early adversity is negatively related to college students’ sleep equality robustly, and sense of control can be a valuable buffer between childhood SES and adult sleep equality.
