Factors associated with sleep quality among medical students in Vietnam: a national cross-sectional study.
Article in BMJ open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveThis study explored factors associated with sleep quality among medical students in Vietnam.
designCross-sectional study.
settingThe study was conducted from December 2019 to February 2020 among medical students in Vietnam.
participantsMedical students were defined as those enrolled in undergraduate medical programmes. 1284 medical students who met the inclusion criteria participated in this study. OUTCOME MEASURES: The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was used to measure participants' sleep quality, with a score of 5 or higher indicating poor sleep quality. Multivariable logistic and linear regression models were employed to identify the factors associated with poor sleep quality.
results36.6% of the study participants had poor sleep quality. There were statistically significant differences in the percentage of poor sleep quality across genders, health-related quality of life, morbidity status and depression (p<0.05). Depression (Coef.=0.54, 95% CI 0.17, 0.91 and OR=1.50, 95% CI 1.13, 1.99) and any morbidity (Coef.=0.64, 95% CI 0.28, 0.99 and OR=1.44, 95% CI 1.09, 1.88) were factors associated with higher PSQI Score and increased risk of poor sleep quality. In contrast, higher health-related quality of life scores (EuroQOL-5 dimensions-5 Levels Index: OR=0.01; 95% CI 0.002, 0.03 and Coef.=-7.11; 95% CI -8.65, -5.56; and EuroQOL-Visual Analogue Scale: OR=0.99; 95% CI 0.98, 1.00 and Coef.=-0.03; 95% CI -0.04, -0.01) were related to lower PSQI Score and reduced risk of poor sleep quality.
conclusionsThis study reveals that health conditions and psychological well-being were associated with sleep quality among medical students. Reducing stress, improving quality of life and improving morbidity have the potential to improve the sleep quality of medical students.
