| Abstract: | University students are especially susceptible to stress, poor sleep quality and mental health problems. Hence, this study aimed to examine the relationship between stress and mental well-being in university students in Germany and the Netherlands by investigating how sleep quality and bad dreams might mediate this relationship. The survey study focused on 63 university students from both countries. The study utilised the PSQI, the PSS, the MHC-SF and two questions investigating bad dreams and nightmares. The Hayes PROCESS macro was utilised to conduct two mediation analyses. While the first analysis applied the mediator sleep quality, the second exploratory analysis applied the mediator stress in the relationship between sleep quality and mental well-being. Due to weak correlations bad dreams was excluded as mediator. Sleep quality had no significant mediation effect in the relationship between stress and mental well-being. In the exploratory mediation stress fully mediated the relationship between sleep quality and mental well-being. |
