Abstract:
Background and aim: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between sleep
quality, physical activity, and dietary pattern with the mental health of University of
Kashan students. It has been concluded in various studies that unhealthy behavioral
habits, in addition to physical illnesses, have a noticeable role in increasing the
prevalence and intensity of mental illnesses.
Methods: This research is practical in terms of purpose and relational in terms of
research type. The statistical population of the study included about ۸۰۵۹ students of
University of Kashan in ۱۴۰۰. A sample of ۱۱۲ individuals was selected by the
available sampling method and based on Tabachnick and Fidell formulas. Research
tools included the food frequency questionnaire (FFQ), Pittsburgh sleep quality index
(PSQI), Sharkey physical activity index (SPAI), and symptom checklist ۹۰ (SCL۹۰).
The reliability of the questionnaires was confirmed by Cronbach’s alpha. SPSS ۲۲ was
used to analyze obtained data.
Results: The findings indicate that higher sleep quality, physical activity, and frequent
intake of dietary supplements have a significant negative effect on the symptoms of
mental illness.
Conclusion: These results show that paying attention to students' health behaviors may
reduce the burden of mental illnesses. It is suggested that universities improve students'
mental health by teaching them about sleep hygiene, principles of healthy eating, and
providing online physical activity programs.
