Abstract
Introduction: Primary headache is the most common neurological complaint found in the neurology department. In Indonesia, the prevalence of primary headaches reaches 90%. The causes or risk factors for primary headaches are quite complex. Therefore, this study examines one of the risk factors, namely sleep quality. The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between sleep quality and primary headaches in medical students of Universitas Airlangga, class of 2021-2022. Method: This cross-sectional study involved 107 respondents consisting of medical students from Universitas Airlangga, class of 2021-2022. The research data were collected through questionnaires, which included the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and the Headache Intake Questionnaire (HIQ). From these questionnaires, sleep quality scores and the occurrence of primary headaches can be measured. Results: The study included 107 respondents, comprising 56 males and 51 females. The majority were 20 years old, with 54 respondents from the 2021 cohort and 53 from the 2022 cohort. Overall, 92 respondents had poor sleep quality, while 15 had good sleep quality. Regarding headaches, 49 respondents experienced primary headaches, including 25 with Tension-Type Headaches (TTH) and 24 with migraines; 58 respondents did not experience headaches. The main trigger factor for headaches among respondents was stress. Of the 49 respondents with headaches, 18 consumed NSAIDs. There was a significant relationship between sleep quality and primary headaches (P < 0.007). Conclusion: Sleep quality correlates with how the incidence of primary headaches occurs.
