The Meadiating Role of Maladaptive Perfectionism and Rumination in the Relationship between Family Functioning and Strssful Life Events with Sleep Quality in University Students

The aim of the current study was to examine the mediating role of maladaptive perfectionism and rumination in the relationship between family functioning and stressful life events with sleep quality in university students. The method of the present study was descriptive-correlational.  The statistical population of this study consisted of B. A Male student at Lorestan University, Khorramabad, Iran 2021. A sample of 562 students was selected using the convenience sampling method. Date collected tools include  Family Assessment Device (1983) FAD, Ruminative Responses Scale (1991) RRS, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (1989) PSQI, the Positive and Negative Perfectionism Scale (2007) PANPS and Self-Rating Life Events Checklist (1997) ASLEC. Data analysis was based on structural equation modeling. The results showed that family functioning, maladjustment perfectionism, stressful life events, and rumination exert a significant and direct effect on the sleep quality of students (p<0.001). Also, results showed that the mediating role of maladjustment perfectionism in the relationship between family functioning with sleep quality (p<0.01) and the mediating role of rumination in the relationship between stressful events and sleep quality was significant (p<0.01). Based on the findings, it can be concluded that the conceptual model has a good fit and it can be inferred that family functioning, perfectionism, the experience of stressful events, and rumination were important factors affecting students’ sleep quality.
