Abstract
Healthcare students frequently face sleep disturbances due to demanding schedules and
academic pressure. This study explores how sleep quality relates to stress and anxiety in
these students. A sample of 200 healthcare students was assessed using the Pittsburgh
Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), and Generalized Anxiety Disorder-
7 (GAD-7). The analysis revealed that poor sleep quality is significantly associated with
higher levels of stress and anxiety. These findings underscore the importance of
incorporating sleep health and mental well-being strategies in healthcare education.
