Hi Emma and team members,
I work in a large university in Australia and we want to gather some understanding of uni student sleep patterns and possible association with performance and academic anxiety and wellbeing by including some questions about sleep (could be a short formal scale) in a whole of cohort survey. Any suggestions about a useful scale or cluster of questions to include?
many thanks in advance for any information shared.
Annie
You could use the PSQI but this does not distinguish between weekdays and weekends and is based on the past month only.
You could also consider using the CCAPS which measures academic distress, general/social anxiety, depression symptoms and a range of student specific symptoms. It doesn't have a subscale specific to sleep, but it does have a sleep item within the depression subscale.
you can also use de Epworth sleep scale, and the Functional outcome sleep questionnaire, from terry weaver
The Consensus Sleep Diary would be the best measure to use in this sample for outcomes listed above:

It is important to note that self-reported (single) measures of sleep duration are considered questionable:

Hola,
Mi Tesis doctoral tuvo como objetivo general conocer la prevalencia del deterioro del patrón de sueño en los alumnos de enfermería de la Universidad Católica San Antonio (UCAM) y su relación con los hábitos de sueño, aspectos sociofamiliares y rendimiento académico.
Para ello utilizamos un cuestionario que contenía la Escala de Edpworth, el Índice de Calidad del Sueño de Pittsburg, la Escala de Matutinos y Vespertinos de Adan y Almiral y una escala de Hábitos de sueño de elaboración propia (pendiente de validación), todas ellas utilizadas como instrumento de medida del objetivo principal del estudio, las características y calidad del sueño de los estudiantes universitarios, siendo cada una de ellas variables dependientes o de resultado.
Como variables independientes utilizamos variables descriptoras de los sujetos del estudio, de ámbito personal, como el sexo, la edad y estado civil, hábitos de vida, curso académico que cursaban en el momento de realizar la encuesta y rendimiento académico.
Un saludo
Hi Annie,
I developed the College Student Sleep Assessment Inventory, and published a paper on it. Please look at my publications, which are listed on Researchgate website, and look for "An Investigation of the Prevalence of Insomnia..." The instrument is appended to the paper. Let me know if you have any questions.
With best wishes,
Micah
