SOUZA, Andressa P. de; MURGO, Camélia S.    BARROS, Leonardo de O.. Academic adaptation in university students: associations with stress and sleep quality. []. , 23, 3, pp.1-21. ISSN 1516-3687.  https://doi.org/10.5935/1980-6906/ePTPPA13275.

This study aimed to analyze the relationships between sleep quality, stress, and academic adaptation of university students, characterize sleep quality indicators, and analyze differences in the instrument factors according to demographic variables. A total of 489 university students participated, with a mean age of 22.46 years (SD=5.648), 78.1% of whom were female. The students answered the Academic Experience Questionnaire, Perceived Stress Scale, and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index online. The data were submitted to inferential statistics. The results indicated that 72.4% of the participants presented a poor classification concerning sleep quality, and 23.9% had some sleep disorder - better rates of adaptation to the university correlated with better sleep quality and lower sleep quality stress levels. The importance of developing positive emotional aspects in university students favoring the processes of academic adaptation is evident.
