Background: Sleep disorders are a significant health issue that urgently needs to be addressed among undergraduate students, and one of the potential underlying problems could be problematic smartphone use (PSU). This study aimed to clarify the relationship between PSU and poor sleep quality by investigating the independent and serial mediating roles of anxiety and depressive symptoms in a population of university students in Tibet, China.
Methods: A total of 2993 Tibetan college students completed three waves of data surveys, with all participants completing questionnaires on PSU, anxiety, depressive symptoms, and sleep quality (Time 1 (T1) -Time 3 (T3)).
Article Synopsis
- Depression is becoming more recognized as a major health issue globally, and in China, there's increasing awareness of eating disorders (EDs), particularly among Tibetan students, an under-researched group in this context.
- The study analyzed responses from Tibetan and Han students in the Xizang Autonomous Region using specific tests to explore the relationship between symptoms of EDs and depression, identifying core symptoms like calorie awareness and fatigue.
- Findings indicated that while there were no major gender differences in symptoms, notable variations were found between ethnic groups, suggesting that targeted approaches to address these issues might improve physical and mental health among students.
Background: While the exact mechanisms are not fully understood, there are significant links between sleep quality, anxiety, depressive symptoms, and cognitive emotion regulation. This research examines how sleep quality affects anxiety and depressive symptoms, as well as the potential of cognitive emotion regulation strategies (CERS) to moderate the impact of sleep quality on these symptoms.
Methods: The Chinese version of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (CPSQI), the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ), the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), and the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale-7 (GAD-7) were all completed online by students from two colleges in China's Xizang region.
