Relationship between fatigue,memory ability and sleep quality in medical students
AIM: To study the relationship between sleep quality and fatigue, learning achievement and memory ability in medical students. METHODS: Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Fatigue Assessment Instrument (FAI) were adopted to survey 1602 medical students in Fujian Province. By recognition method, 106 students were evaluated with memory ability and by follow-up study method, learning achievement of 794 students were accessed by follow-up backing. RESULTS: It was found that the poorer the sleep quality, the higher scores of severity of fatigue, consequence of fatigue and situation-specific fatigue ( F = 66.684, 13.915,18.399, P =0.000,0. 000,0.000), and the lower scores of fatigue responsiveness to rest/sleep (F = 7.373, P =0.000) , the higher incidence of fatigue (χ2 = 86. 381, P = 0.000). No statistical significance was found in maintaining volume of specific pictures, volume of abstract pictures, volume of texts and term achievement between the three groups (F=0.502, 0.387, 2.002, 0.781, P = 0.607, 0.680, 0. 140, 0.458). CONCLUSION: Poor sleep quality may lead to physical fatigue and mental fatigue but not yet to short-term memory ability and term achievement in medical students.
