Objective:
To analyze the status of sleep disorders and their influencing factors among Tibetan secondary school students in high altitude areas in China, so as to provide a reference for the improvement and intervention of sleep quality among Tibetan secondary school students in high altitude areas.
Methods:
From April to July, 2022, a questionnaire survey on demographic factors, sleep disorders, and lifestyle was conducted on 5 486 Tibetan secondary school students in the Lhasa, Shigatse, and Nagqu regions of Tibet, China, using stratified whole-group sampling. Descriptive statistics and Logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the sleep disorders of Tibetan secondary school students and their influencing factors.
Results:
The average score of PSQI for Tibetan secondary school students at high altitude was (5.67±3.23), and the detection rate of sleep disorders (PSQI>7) was 24.72% . There were significant differences in the prevalence of sleep disorders among different grades ( χ 2=23.95, P <0.01). Logistic regression analysis showed that interpersonal sensitivity, depression, anxiety, academic stress, falling asleep after midnight, sleep environment, and parental sleep disorders were positively associated with the occurrence of sleep disorders among Tibetan secondary school students ( OR =2.74, 1.68, 2.62, 1.32, 2.02, 1.85, 2.61, 1.31, 2.19, 2.88, 4.91, 2.94, 2.51, 1.36, P <0.05).
Conclusion
Tibetan secondary school students in high altitude areas have poor sleep quality and widespread sleep disorder problems, which should be given intervention and improvement. Schools and families should give secondary school students more guidance on appropriate exercise, and reduce academic stress to improve sleep quality and ensure healthy physical and mental development for secondary school students.
