Hubungan Kualitas Tidur Dengan Kesehatan Mental Pada Mahasiswa Gen Z Di Universitas Yatsi Madani

Introduction

Hubungan kualitas tidur dengan kesehatan mental pada mahasiswa gen z di universitas yatsi madani. Temukan hubungan signifikan antara kualitas tidur dan kesehatan mental pada mahasiswa Gen Z Universitas Yatsi Madani. Penelitian ini mengungkap dampak pola tidur buruk terhadap kesejahteraan mental.

Abstract

Latar belakang: Kualitas tidur merupakan aspek penting yang berperan dalam menjaga kesehatan mental, terutama pada mahasiswa yang rentan mengalami stres akibat tuntutan akademik dan gaya hidup yang tidak teratur. Tujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui hubungan antara kualitas tidur dengan kesehatan mental pada mahasiswa Gen Z Universitas Yatsi Madani angkatan 2021. Metode: Penelitian menggunakan desain kuantitatif dengan metode analitik korelasional dan pendekatan cross-sectional. Teknik: Teknik pengambilan sampel dilakukan secara proportional stratified random sampling dengan jumlah responden sebanyak 168 mahasiswa semester 6. Instrumen: Instrumen yang digunakan adalah Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) untuk menilai kualitas tidur dan General Health Questionnaire-12 (GHQ-12) untuk mengukur kesehatan mental (sampel dan instrumen). Analisis data dilakukan dengan uji Chi-Square. Hasil: Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar responden memiliki kualitas tidur yang buruk dan ditemukan adanya proporsi mahasiswa dengan kesehatan mental terganggu. Uji statistik memperlihatkan adanya hubungan yang signifikan antara kualitas tidur dengan kesehatan mental mahasiswa (p-value = 0,000; p < 0,05), yang berarti semakin buruk kualitas tidur seseorang, semakin besar risiko terganggunya kesehatan mental. Kesimpulan: Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa terdapat hubungan bermakna antara kualitas tidur dengan kesehatan mental pada mahasiswa Gen Z Universitas Yatsi Madani. Oleh karena itu, mahasiswa diharapkan lebih memperhatikan pola tidur sehat, sementara pihak kampus disarankan untuk memberikan edukasi terkait manajemen stres dan pentingnya tidur berkualitas sebagai upaya mendukung kesejahteraan mental mahasiswa.

Review

This study addresses a highly relevant and timely topic concerning the mental well-being of Gen Z university students, specifically investigating its relationship with sleep quality. The clear objective to explore the connection between sleep quality and mental health among Gen Z students at Universitas Yatsi Madani is well-defined and executed. The methodology, employing a quantitative correlational cross-sectional design with a robust sample of 168 students, is appropriate for exploring such relationships. The use of validated instruments like the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and the General Health Questionnaire-12 (GHQ-12) strengthens the reliability of the data collection. The findings, indicating a significant relationship where poor sleep quality correlates with an increased risk of mental health disturbances (p-value = 0.000), provide valuable empirical evidence to an area of growing concern. While the study presents compelling findings, some methodological nuances warrant discussion. The cross-sectional design, while efficient, inherently limits the ability to infer causality; it establishes a correlation but cannot definitively prove that poor sleep *causes* mental health issues or vice-versa, or if a third confounding variable is at play. Future research utilizing longitudinal designs could provide deeper insights into the directionality of this relationship. Furthermore, while the abstract notes the vulnerability of students due to academic demands and irregular lifestyles, a more detailed rationale for focusing specifically on "Gen Z" beyond their age cohort might enhance the specificity and theoretical underpinnings of the study's population choice. Quantifying the *proportion* of students with disturbed mental health and poor sleep quality in the abstract would also provide a clearer picture of the prevalence rates within the studied population. Despite these minor points, this study makes a significant contribution to understanding the critical link between sleep quality and mental health among Indonesian university students. The practical implications of the findings are particularly strong, leading to concrete recommendations for both students and university administration. Encouraging students to adopt healthy sleep patterns and advising campuses to implement educational programs on stress management and sleep hygiene are highly actionable suggestions that could genuinely improve student welfare. This research serves as a valuable call to action for higher education institutions to prioritize mental health support and promote sleep education, ultimately fostering a healthier academic environment for the next generation of professionals.
