| description | Background: The aim of this cross-sectional study was to investigate the prevalence of sleep disturbance and its possible associated factors among Iranian medical students. Additionally, a national meta-analysis was conducted to provide a comprehensive overview of sleep disturbance in this population. Methods: A sample of medical students from Guilan University of Medical Sciences, Iran was included in the study. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was used to assess sleep disturbance. Demographic and lifestyle factors, as well as academic performance, were collected through a self-administered questionnaire. The data collected from this study were combined with existing studies through a meta-analysis to estimate the overall prevalence of sleep disturbance among Iranian medical students using the random effects model. Results: A total of 249 medical students participated in the study. The prevalence of sleep disturbance among Guilan University of Medical Sciences medical students was found to be 71.1%. A significant difference was observed in total PSQI means regarding medical students’ residency (p < 0.001) and their duration of sleep in the last 24 h (p = 0.006). The national prevalence of sleep disturbances was 59% (95% CI: [51%–66%], I2 = 97%). Conclusion: Sleep disturbance is highly prevalent among Iranian medical students, with various factors contributing to its occurrence. The findings of this study highlight the need for interventions and strategies to improve sleep quality and overall well-being among this population. The national meta-analysis provides valuable insights into the overall burden of sleep disturbance among Iranian medical students and can serve as a reference for future studies and public health initiatives targeting this issue. |
