Abstract

Objective: To identify the rate of insomnia and factors related to insomnia in Pharmacy students infected with COVID-19 at Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy using the insomnia severity index (ISI). Methods: An analytical cross-sectional study on 343 Pharmacy students studying at Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy who were and were not infected with COVID-19 from July 2022 to October 2022. Results: No relationship was found between personal characteristics such as year of study, gender, place of residence, financial situation, quarantine situation, and use of COVID-19 medication and students' insomnia. The proportion of students infected with COVID-19 having insomnia (50.9%) was higher than that of students not infected (49.1%) (RR = 1.01; 95%CI = 0 .87 - 1.17). Conclusion: Personal characteristics and social relationships are unrelated to insomnia; however, COVID-19 infection may be a risk factor affecting Pharmacy students' sleep.
