Abstract
Background: Poor sleep quality (PSQ) is an increasing health problem among adolescents. Mobile phones and portable media devices have become a part of children’s lives and may affect their sleep duration and quality. This study aimed to explore the prevalence of PSQ and identify the association between media use and PSQ among adolescents studying in high school grades 10-12. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in central Thailand. A multi-stage sampling technique was used to enroll 777 adolescents from eight schools from August to October 2016. The research instruments comprised factors of demographics and consumption behaviors and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index questionnaire. Multivariable logistic regression was used to calculate adjusted odds ratios (ORadj) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). Results: Prevalence of PSQ was 56.24%. The study subjects were mostly 16-17 years old (67.82%) and female (70.39%). Multivariable logistic regression, after controlling for possible confounders, revealed an increased odds of PSQ among those who used a social media device (OR=1.34, 95%CI=0.97-1.87), and showed a higher proportion of social media use in the PSQ group. Conclusion: A surveillance system to detect media use and PSQ should be conducted accompanied by knowledge sharing on media use among parents, teachers and adolescents. To determine causal relationships, further longitudinal studies will be required to test the association between media users and PSQ. This study may also provide some implications for health promotion on sleep quality of senior high school students.
