Abstract

Objective To understand social anxiety of Tibetan adolescents aged 10-15 years old in high altitude areas and its correlation with sleep duration, so as to provide a reference and support for social anxiety prevention and mental health interventions for Tibetan adolescents in high altitude areas. Methods A total of 2 426 Tibetan adolescents from the Lhasa, Chamdo, and Nagchu regions of Tibet were surveyed. From April to June 2022, basic demographics, social anxiety, and sleep status were obtained and analyzed using class-based, stratified whole group sampling, and the correlations detected between the two were analyzed by logistic regression analysis. Results The average social anxiety score of Tibetan adolescents aged 10-15 years in high-altitude areas was (6.51±4.32), and the detection rate of social anxiety was 5.23%. The mean sleep duration was (7.42±1.18) hours/day. The differences were statistically significant when compared across gender, overweight/obesity status, level of physically activity, and sleep duration (χ²=19.44, 14.39, 7.83, 7.21, P < 0.05). After adjusting for relevant variables, the Logistic regression analysis showed that sleep-deprivation among boys (OR=2.91, 95%CI=1.82-4.61), sleep-deprivation among girls (OR=3.51, 95%CI=2.01-6.04), and overall sleep-deprivation among Tibetan adolescents (OR=3.12, 95%CI=1.91-4.58) were positively associated with social anxiety(P < 0.01). Conclusions A positive association was found between social anxiety and sleep deprivation, indicating that social anxiety is an issue among Tibetan adolescents living in high altitude regions. Sufficient sleep duration plays a positive protective role in reducing social anxiety among Tibetan adolescents in high altitude areas, and the findings provide a reference for future mental health interventions.
