Social problems. Social reform Q Science (General) COVID-19 pandemic is declared by world health organisation as an international health emergency and this pandemic have induced lockdown and in Malaysia this is called Movement control order (MCO). MCO have several movement restrictions that result in changes in people’s lifestyle behaviour, among those are increase in screen time, decrease in physical activity and decrease in sleep quality. Among the most affected population is university students become even before that students have increased usage of electronic device, less engagement in physical activity and more occurrence of sleeping problems. In addition, university is considered a key transition from adolescence to adulthood. The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between screen time, physical activity level and sleep quality among male and female students from UTAR during transition to COVID-19 endemic. This study was a cross-sectional study which included 482 university students (47.3% male, 52.7% female) that were recruited using convenience sampling method. The validated Screen Time Questionnaire, International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) were distributed through online questionnaire via Google Form. IPAQ score, screen time usage and Global PSQI score were calculated, then the correlation between these variables and comparison between gender were conducted using SPSS Version 26. The result outcome had discovered that majority of the participants had a moderate screen use, moderate physical activity level and poor sleep quality during transition to COVID-19 endemic. There was no significant correlation between screen time and physical activity level (r=0.057, p=0.214), physical activity level and sleep quality (r=0.024, p=0.596), and screen time and sleep quality (r=0.089, p=0.052). There was no significant difference in screen time between male and female students (p=0.752). Also, physical activity level (p=0.001) and sleep quality (p=0.002), were significantly different between gender, with male students having higher physical activity level and poorer sleep quality than females. 2023-01 Final Year Project / Dissertation / Thesis NonPeerReviewed application/pdf http://eprints.utar.edu.my/5616/1/fyp_2023_DT_JOXT.pdf Ong, Jenny Xiao Thong (2023) Relationship between screen time, physical activity level and sleep quality among male and female students from University Tunku Abdul Rahman (UTAR) during transition to covid-19 endemic.
