OBJECTIVES: To determine the sleep health of medical students before the annual OSCE at Khyber Medical College Peshawar (KMC) / Khyber Teaching Hospital Peshawar (KTH). MATERIALS AND METHODS: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted from April 6-14, 2022, in the Department of Medicine, KTH Peshawar. All students of final-year MBBS of KMC appearing in Final OSCE were included in the study after receiving informed consent. Students were classified as day scholars and hostelites. Levels of stress alertness, sleep efficiency, duration, and timing of sleep were checked in both genders, and all were categorized according to the SATED questionnaire. RESULTS: A total of 245 students were included in this study, of which 148 were male and 97 were female. Among these students, 84 were day scholars, and 161 were hostelites. Thirty-two students were completely unsatisfied with their sleep, 45% were satisfied sometimes, 20.2% felt drowsy during most of their daytime, and 46.5% felt drowsy during some of the day. Males had significantly better sleep health (5.35 ± 2.0) compared to females (4.4 ± 1.9) with p value < .001. Males had significantly higher average satisfaction (0.99 ± 0.72, p =.027) and average duration (1.34 ± 0.69, p < .001) of sleep compared to females (0.77 ± 0.74, 0.93 ± 0.74, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: Students' sleep health was considerably worse before the annual practical examination and this difference was somewhat higher among hostelites. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
