To explore the correlation patterns and group differences between college students’ mental health and sleep quality using network analysis methods, providing empirical evidence for targeted interventions.
A total of 428 college students were selected as the research subjects, and surveys were conducted using the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-20) and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). The mental health-sleep quality network was constructed using the qgraph package in R software, and centrality indicators of each node were calculated. The Network Comparison Test (NCT) was used to analyze the influence of gender and military status on this network.
In the overall network, daytime dysfunction (a7), anxiety (b3), and subjective sleep quality (a1) were core nodes, while anxiety (b3), daytime dysfunction (a7), and depression (b2) served as core bridges between modules. Gender differences were reflected in higher global connectivity strength in males (s=0.960,P=0.048), with statistically significant edge association differences between sleep disorders and daytime dysfunction (P=0.005), and between daytime dysfunction and self-denial (P=0.045). Military status only had a moderating effect on the association between subjective sleep quality and sleep efficiency (P=0.018), with no significant difference in the overall network.
Network analysis reveals the correlation characteristics between college students’ sleep and mental health, providing a scientific path for targeted services.
