Academic Adaptation in University Students: Stress Associations and Sleep Quality.
Main Article Content
Abstract
The aim of this study was to analyze the relationships between sleep quality, stress and academic adaptation of university students, as well as to characterize sleep quality indicators and analyze differences in the instrument factors according to demographic variables. A total of 489 university students participated, with a mean age of 22.46 years (SD=5.648), 78.1% of whom were female. The students answered the Academic Experience Questionnaire, Perceived Stress Scale and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index online. The data were submitted to inferential statistics and the results indicated that 72.4% of the participants presented a poor classification in relation to sleep quality and 23.9% had some sleep disorder. Better rates of adaptation to the university correlated with better sleep quality and lower stress levels. The importance of working on the development of positive emotional aspects in university students favoring the processes of academic adaptation is evident.
