Interaction between experiential avoidance and insufficient sleep duration on depressive symptoms in college students
Objective:To investigate the relationship between experiential avoidance,insufficient sleep duration,and depressive symptoms among college students,as well as their interaction on depressive symptoms.Methods:The students from seven comprehensive universities in Shandong,Jilin and Shaanxi Provinces were investigated by using a mental health literacy questionnaire on the online platform of Questionnaire Star.Data collected in-cluded general demographic information,experiential avoidance,sleep duration,and depressive symptoms of the participants.The logistic regression model was employed to analyze the relationship between experiential avoid-ance,insufficient sleep duration,and depressive symptoms.The interaction was assessed using additive interac-tion analysis for experiential avoidance and insufficient sleep duration.Results:A total of 4,803 college students were included,comprising 2,207 males(45.95%)and 2,596 females(54.05%),with an age range of 18-26 years.The logistic regression model showed that moderate level,medium-high level,and high level experiential avoid-ance were all associated with depressive symptoms compared with low levels(P＜0.001),and insufficient sleep duration was associated with depressive symptoms(P＜0.001).Interaction analysis revealed additive interactions between medium-high level and high-level experiential avoidance and insufficient sleep duration.Conclusion:Experiential avoidance and insufficient sleep duration are related to depressive symptoms in college students,and there is a mutual influence between medium-high level and high-level experiential avoidance and insufficient sleep duration.
