ABSTRACT
Introdução: A graduação em medicina pode comprometer a qualidade do sono e a qualidade de vida. Objetivo: Avaliar o estilo de vida e a qualidade do sono entre estudantes de medicina. Métodos: Trata-se de estudo do tipo survey online transversal. Foram convidados os 200 estudantes de medicina de uma universidade pública de São Paulo, que cursavam regularmente, dos quais 61 (30,5%) responderam ao questionário. A coleta foi realizada durante a pandemia da COVID-19, no período de novembro de 2020 a março de 2021. O critério de exclusão foi o preenchimento incorreto do questionário. Foram aplicados o Índice de Qualidade do Sono de Pittsburg (PSQI) e a Fantastic Life Questionnaire (FLQ). Diferenças entre mais de duas medianas foram calculadas pela ANOVA de Kruskal-Wallis. A associação entre o estilo de vida e a qualidade do sono foi calculada pela correlação de Spearman. Foi considerado o valor de p<0,05. Resultados: A mediana do PSQI foi 6 (ruim) e do FLQ foi 55 (bom). A medida em que o estilo de vida piorou, a qualidade do sono piorou (p=0,005). Foi observada correlação entre a piora do estilo de vida e a piora da qualidade do sono (p<0.001). Conclusão: Foi observado que a maioria dos estudantes desta universidade apresentavam estilo de vida bom ou regular, qualidade do sono ruim e à medida que a qualidade do sono piorou a qualidade de vida também piorou. Este estudo foi conduzido durante a pandemia da COVID-19 e seus resultados podem ter sido influenciados por isto. [au]

As life style worsened, sleep quality also worsened (p=0.005). A correlation between a worse life style and a worse sleep quality was observed (p<0.001).
