Background
We examined the mediating effect of sleep problems on the relationship between economic hardship (i.e., economic stress and subjective socioeconomic status) and quality of life (QOL).
Methods
We analyzed data from 232 students who completed all three self-report surveys over the course of the semester, employing a simple mediation model examined by the SPSS PROCESS Macro.
Results
The findings revealed that higher levels of economic stress at Time 1 (T1) were associated with higher levels of sleep problems at T2 which, in turn, were associated with a poorer QOL at T3. In contrast, subjective socioeconomic status at T1 was not associated with sleep problems at either T2 or QOL at T3.
Conclusions
The current results suggest that improving sleep problems may be effective in mitigating the negative impact of economic stress on QOL among university students.

Abstract PDF

본 연구의 목적은 대학생들이 지각하는 사회적 불평등 및 주관적인 사회경제적 지위와 우울 및 불안의 종단적 관계를 확인하는 것이다. 한국의 대학생들을 대상으로 2016년 한 학기 동안 세 시점에 걸쳐 온라인 설문지를 작성하게 하였고, 총 247명의 데이터가 분석에 포함되었다. GEE 분석 결과, 지각된 사회적 불평등이 높아질수록 우울의 위험율도 높아졌으며(OR=1.56), 주관적 사회경제적 지위가 낮을수록 불안(OR=1.39) 및 우울(OR=1.38)의 위험율이 높아졌다. 해당 결과는 치료 장면에서 대학생들의 불안 및 우울을 다룰 때 이들의 불평등 인식 및 주관적 사회경제적 지위도 고려해야함을 시사한다.
