- Abstract
Objective: To analyze the factors associated with daytime sleepiness in undergraduate medical students in the north of Minas Gerais. Method: a cross-sectional study was performed, involving 231 students from the first, seventh and eleventh medical undergraduate periods. Daytime sleepiness was assessed by the Epworth Daytime Sleepiness Scale. Poisson regression analysis was performed to verify the factors associated with daytime sleepiness. Results: pathological and very pathological levels of daytime sleepiness were observed, respectively, in 34.6% and 6.9% of the students. The prevalence of daytime sleepiness was higher in students who suffered Common Mental Disorders, Emotional Exhaustion and Professional Ineffectiveness, and lower among those who lived with their parents. Conclusion: the prevalence of pathological daytime sleepiness among the students was high, and was related to common mental disorders, perception of emotional and professional exhaustion, and the context with whom the student lived with.
