Effects Of Stress On Sleep Quality In High School Students

With the rapid development of modern society and increasingly fierce competition,people’s quality of life has been improved while their physical and mental health has been highly valued,and more and more people pay attention to the problem of sleep quality.Studies have found that sleep can not only restore the individual’s mental and physical strength,but also is closely related to the individual’s emotional,memory and other psychological activities.Once sleep problems occur,it is easy to cause some physiological and psychological diseases.Previous researchers have fount that stress has significant impact on sleep quality of adults.However,there is few study exploring the effect of stress on sleep quality in high school students.In addition,the mechanism by which stress impact on the sleep quality of senior high school students has not been further explored. This study included 387 high school students in Gui Zhou province.With taking the adolescent life events scale and the Pittsburgh sleep quality index of the questionnaire,the positive negative emotions scale and the middle school students mental quality scale for measuring tool,using questionnaire survey method,we discussed relationship among the pressure of the high school students,negative mood,psychological quality and the sleep quality,and explored the intermediary effect of the negative emotions and the adjusted effect of psychological quality in the impact of stress on sleep quality.The research results showed that:(1)The stress levels of high school students were below the average.The stress score is significant different among the majors,grades,genders,whether they are the only child.(2)Among the high school students surveyed,22.7% had sleep disorders.The sleep quality of high school students is significant different among whether they are the only child,gender and grade.(3)The overall level of negative emotions in high school students is relatively low.(4)The overall psychological quality of high school students is above the average level,and there is a significant difference in the demographic variables of whether they are the only child,but there is no significant difference in gender and grade.(5)The stress positively correlated with sleep quality and negative emotions.Stress negatively correlated with the mental quality.For individuals,the higher the psychological quality is,the less negative emotions.Under the influence of negative emotions,the quality of sleep will be relatively worse.(6)Stress and negative emotions have significant positive predictive effect on sleep quality in senior high school students.(7)In the process of stress’ s influence on high school students’ sleep quality,negative emotions play a part of the mediating role.The stress level of high school students can directly predict the sleep quality,and can also influence the sleep quality through the mediating effect of negative emotions.Mental quality can regulate the predictive effect of negative emotions on sleep quality.
