Abstract

Cilj ovoga istraživanja bio je ispitati vjerovanja o spavanju studenata pomagačkih zanimanja i razlike u vjerovanjima o spavanju s obzirom na cirkadijurnu tipologiju studenata. Istražili smo i odnos između točnosti vjerovanja o spavanju te samoprocijenjene informiranosti o pravilima zdravog spavanja i kvalitete spavanja. Također smo istražili odnos između cirkadijurne tipologije i samoprocjena informiranosti o pravilima zdravog spavanja i kvalitete spavanja. Istraživanju je online putem pristupilo 563 studenta sa sedam različitih smjerova pomagačkih studija Sveučilišta u Zagrebu. Vjerovanja o spavanju ispitana su pomoću Ljestvice vjerovanja o spavanju (Adan i sur., 2006), cirkadijurna tipologija pomoću Kompozitne ljestvice jutarnjosti (Smith i sur., 1989), a informiranost o pravilima zdravog spavanja i kvaliteta spavanja pomoću samoprocjene. Rezultati istraživanja su pokazali da dio vjerovanja o spavanju studenata pomagačkih zanimanja nije točan. Prosječan postotak ispravnih vjerovanja o spavanju iznosio je 61%. Najmanji broj studenata imao je ispravna vjerovanja o pozitivnom djelovanju ustajanja iz kreveta kad je teško zaspati, o negativnom djelovanju nadoknađivanja izgubljenog spavanja dugim spavanjem i o negativnom djelovanju pokušaja uspavljivanja kad ne postoji osjećaj da se može zaspati. Utvrđena je niska pozitivnu povezanost između broja točnih vjerovanja o spavanju i samoprocijenjene informiranosti o pravilima zdravog spavanja. Nađeno je i da je viša samoprocjena kvalitete spavanja značajno povezana s većom tendencijom prema jutarnjosti. Studenti različite cirkadijurne tipologije nisu se značajno razlikovali u broju točnih vjerovanja o spavanju. Nije nađena povezanost između točnosti vjerovanja o spavanju i samoprocjene kvalitete spavanja kao ni između cirkadijurne dimenzije i samoprocjene informiranosti o pravilima zdravog spavanja.

Abstract (english)

The aim of this study was to evaluate sleep beliefs in students of helping professions and to explore differences in sleep beliefs considering circadian typology. We have also investigated relationship between sleep beliefs, self-assessment of awareness of rules about healthy sleep and self-assessment of sleep quality. Moreover we have investigated relationship of circadian typology with assessment of awareness of healthy sleep rules and assessment of one's own sleep quality. This research was conducted online among 563 students from seven different helping professions study programmes of University of Zagreb. Sleep beliefs were tested with Sleep Beliefs Scale (Adan et al., 2006), circadian typology with Composite Scale of Morningness (Smith et al., 1989),
assessment of awareness of healthy sleep rules and assessment of one's own sleep quality with self-evaluation. According to the results, helping professions students don't have entirely correct sleep beliefs. Average percentage of correct sleep beliefs was 61%. The lowest number of students had correct beliefs of positive effect of getting up when it is difficult to fall asleep, negative effect of recovering lost sleep by sleeping for a long time and negative effect of trying to fall asleep without having a sleep sensation. The results have showed low positive correlation between correctness of sleep beliefs and one's own assessment of awareness of healthy sleep rules and that greater assessment of one's own sleep quality is significantly correlated with greater tendency toward morningness. The differences in the correctness of sleep beliefs between students of different circadian typology wasn't found, nor was the correlation between correctness of sleep beliefs and assessment of one's own sleep quality, neither the correlation between circadian typology dimension and assessment of awareness of healthy sleep rules.
