Abstract

Objective: To analyze the correlation between sleep quality and accidental injuries among university students in Hainan, and to provide reference for improving injury prevention among university students. Methods: A total of 1100 college students from freshman to Senior Students in three universities in Hainan were selected by multilevel random sampling method, and investigated by Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and injury questionnaire. Results: The average PSQI score of Hainan university students was 7.645. In the five dimensions of sleep latency, sleep efficiency, sleep disturbances, sleep medication, and daytime dysfunction, as well as the PSQI total score, the differences between the accidental injury group and the non-accidental injury group were statistically significant (P＜0.01), except for sleep quality and sleep time, all other dimensions and PSIQ total score were higher in the accidental injury group than in the non-accidental injury group. Conclusion: The problem of poor sleep quality among university students in Hainan were widespread, and the occurrence of accidental injuries among university students were related to the sleep quality.
