Associations among social jetlag, sleep-related characteristics, premenstrual symptoms, depression, and body mass index of female nursing students

초록

Purpose: This study aimed to identify the predictors of female nursing students’ body mass index (BMI), including social jetlag. Design and Methods: This secondary data analysis of a cross-sectional survey conducted in 2015 included data of 304 female undergraduate nursing students. A hierarchical regression analysis was performed to identify the predictors of BMI. Findings: Social jetlag was the most potent predictor of BMI, followed by premenstrual symptoms and sleep quality. Practice Implications: This study presents foundational data for developing interventions for social jetlag management as a strategy to prevent obesity in female nursing students by identifying factors predicting BMI. © 2021 Wiley Periodicals LLC
