Description
Elif Keskin Çolak and Erhan Şimşek surveyed final-year medical interns in Türkiye on sleep quality and anxiety during a family medicine placement. Interns face night shifts, emergency work, and career stress in their last supervised training year.
Of 219 interns, 59.4 percent slept poorly by a standard sleep index, averaging about 6.7 hours a night. Sleep and anxiety scores rose together, and each extra anxiety point raised the odds of poor sleep slightly. Worry about taking night shifts more than doubled the odds of poor sleep in the adjusted model. Women showed lower odds than men, though Çolak calls that result fragile and in need of confirmation.
