However, these issues remain insufficiently explored, particularly in low- and middle-income contexts; therefore, this study aims to examine the relationships among social support, lifestyle behaviors, SQ, and QoL among first-year students in Vietnam.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods:<\/jats:title>\n A cross-sectional study was conducted from August 2021 to August 2022 involving 1,201 students from six universities within the Vietnam National University, Hanoi. Participants completed a structured questionnaire assessing socio-demographic characteristics, personal health behaviors, SQ using the Jenkins Sleep Scale (JSS), and QoL with the EuroQol-5 dimensions (EQ-5D-5L) scale. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize participants\u2019 characteristics, health status, and lifestyle behaviors. Multivariate linear regression models with stepwise selection were employed to identify factors associated with SQ and QoL.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n The study found that 40.1% of participants experienced sleep disturbances, with those affected reporting a significantly lower QoL (mean EQ-5D-5L: 0.86) compared to those without disturbances (mean EQ-5D-5L: 0.96). Poor lifestyle behaviors, including increased alcohol consumption and internet use, were prevalent among students facing sleep disruptions. Conversely, higher perceived social support was associated with improved QoL and SQ.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n This research highlights the concerning prevalence of sleep disturbances and unhealthy lifestyle practices among first-year students, emphasizing social support\u2019s critical role in promoting better health outcomes. Interventions aimed at enhancing social support and addressing detrimental behaviors are essential for improving QoL and SQ in this demographic, particularly during their transition to university life.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/ijpvm.ijpvm_88_25","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,30]],"date-time":"2025-09-30T09:00:45Z","timestamp":1759222845000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Lifestyle Behaviors and their Impact on Sleep Quality and Health-Related Quality of Life Among First-Year University Students in Vietnam"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Ha Hoang","family":"Trinh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Hospital of Vietnam National University, Hanoi, Vietnam"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Trung Thanh","family":"Nguyen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Training and Student Affairs, University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Vietnam National University, Hanoi, Vietnam"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tam Quang","family":"Nguyen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of School Health, Hospital of Vietnam National University, Hanoi, Vietnam"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ngoc The","family":"Ngo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Outpatient Department, Hospital of Vietnam National University, Hanoi, Vietnam"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Son Tuan","family":"Nguyen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Vietnam National University, Hanoi, Vietnam"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chung Viet","family":"Nguyen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry and Clinical Psychology, University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Vietnam National University, Hanoi, Vietnam"},{"name":"Department of Mental Health, E Hospital, Hanoi, Vietnam"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tuan Dang","family":"Mac","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Public Health, University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Vietnam National University, Hanoi, Vietnam"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Thang Huu","family":"Nguyen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Organization and Management, School of Preventive Medicine and Public Health, Hanoi Medical University, Hanoi, Vietnam"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"R1-20251002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"8616","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph19148616","article-title":"Determinants of quality of life among adolescents in the Ma\u0142opolska Region, Poland","volume":"19","author":"Magiera","year":"2022","journal-title":"Int J Environ Res Public Health"},{"issue":"(Suppl 1)","key":"R2-20251002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"73","DOI":"10.1023\/A:1023585707046","article-title":"The case for domains of function in quality of life assessment","volume":"12","author":"Naughton","year":"2003","journal-title":"Qual Life Res"},{"key":"R3-20251002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1297256","DOI":"10.3389\/fpsyt.2023.1297256","article-title":"Relationship between sleep quality and subjective well-being: Resilience as a mediator and belief in a just world as a moderator","volume":"14","author":"Su","year":"2023","journal-title":"Front Psychiatry"},{"key":"R4-20251002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.3389\/fpubh.2023.1281571","article-title":"Sleep quality and subjective well-being in healthcare students: Examining the role of anxiety and depression","volume":"11","author":"Zhu","year":"2023","journal-title":"Front Public Health"},{"key":"R5-20251002","first-page":"e3501","article-title":"HC-FMUSP Adolescent COVID-19 Study Group","volume":"76","author":"Helito","year":"2021","journal-title":"Poor Sleep quality and health-related quality of life impact in adolescents with and without chronic immunosuppressive conditions during COVID-19 quarantine.
