Technostress and Sleep Quality among University Students in Indonesia

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the prevalence of technostress and sleep quality by considering sociodemographic variables and a high number of participants. This study also examined the relationship between technostress and sleep quality among university students in Indonesia. A total of 1,356 Indonesian universities participated in this cross-sectional survey. The Technostress Creator Questionnaire (TSC-Q) and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) were used, and the results were analyzed using Spearman’s correlation test. The generalized linear model (GLM) determined which sociodemographic factors predicted technostress levels and sleep quality. The respondents reported moderate levels of technostress (3.12 ± 0.53 out of 5.00) and poor sleep quality (7.9 ± 2.83). Lower academic level, a lower monthly allowance, a longer duration of device ownership, a more significant number of devices, and long screen times were associated with higher technostress levels. The Science and Technology students experienced lower technostress than the Social and Humanities students. A lower monthly allowance and longer screen time were associated with poor sleep quality. Higher levels of technostress were significantly associated with poorer sleep quality (p < 0.05).
