Abstract

Abstract

Objective This paper aims to understand the current situation of the quality of life of medical college students and to explore the relationship between chronotype and quality of life, to provide a scientific basis for improving the health level of medical college students. Methods A questionnaire survey was conducted among 2 400 medical students in a medical college using Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire 19 (MEQ-19) and Short Form 36 (SF-36). Results The total score of quality of life of medical students was (75.20 ±14.54) points, the scores of physical component summary (PCS) and mental component summary (MCS) were (81.19±15.50) points and (69.21±16.82) points, respectively. The score of mental health (MH) was the lowest (64.61±16.06) points. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the PCS score (after adjustment: β=-3.478, t=-5.169, P < 0.001) and MCS score (after correction: β=-4.357, t=-6.030, P < 0.001) of quality of life among medical students whose sleep rhythm tends to be evening types were lower than that of neutral types. Conclusions The quality of life of medical students is not high, especially in the field of mental health. The quality of life of medical students whose sleep rhythm tends to be evening types is low. The school should strengthen the management of rest time to improve the quality of life among medical students.
