Abstract: (145 Views) |
Background : Insomnia is very common among young people and has harmful physical and psychological consequences. Studies show that insomnia hinders happiness and increases anxiety and stress. However, this study was not conducted among nursing students, who are prone to sleep problems. Therefore, this study examined the relationship between insomnia, happiness, anxiety and stress among a group of nursing students living in northwest Iran.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 636 nursing students completed an online questionnaire that included demographic information and measures of insomnia, happiness, anxiety, and perceived stress.
Results: Happiness was inversely related to anxiety, perceived stress and insomnia. Anxiety was related to stress and insomnia, while insomnia and stress also had a strong linear relationship. The relationship between the main study variables and demographic variables was as follows: Happiness had a significant relationship with academic semester, anxiety with overall academic grade point average and employment status, stress with academic semester and overall academic grade point average, and finally insomnia with academic semester, overall academic grade point average and employment status
Conclusion: Mental health problems are common among nursing students. On the other hand, the variables examined in this study, including insomnia, anxiety and stress, have a detrimental effect on happiness, which is a key dimension of mental health. Therefore, self-care practices and provision of mental health support services for nursing students should be promoted.
